500-Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh: Beyond Postures, Into Practice

Blog Article

A 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course is not just an advanced certificate—it’s a personal shift. It's meant for serious practitioners ready to deepen their understanding of yoga as a discipline of breath, mind, and energy. At Jeevatman Yogshala, the course is rooted in the traditional Himalayan lineage and aims to train teachers who live what they teach.






Who Is This Course For?


The 500-hour TTC is ideal for those who’ve:





  • Completed a 200-hour TTC




  • Maintained a steady practice




  • Taught or studied yoga beyond beginner level




  • Reached a point where yoga feels like a life path—not a weekend hobby







What You Actually Study


This isn’t about learning more poses—it’s about going deeper into the core components of yoga:





  • Advanced Asana – strong focus on alignment, breath-integration, and energetic flow




  • Pranayama & Bandhas – retention, control, and subtle breathwork




  • Meditation – mantra, antar mouna (inner silence), and dharana-based practices




  • Yoga Philosophy – study of Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika




  • Anatomy – both structural (bones, joints) and subtle (chakras, nadis, prana)




  • Teaching Methodology – intelligent sequencing, hands-on adjustments, verbal cueing




  • Self-Inquiry – journaling, silence, reflection woven into daily life







Daily Routine: Training Attention


A typical day includes:





  • 5:30 AM kriya or breathwork




  • Hatha and Ashtanga practices




  • Meditation and chanting




  • Philosophy/anatomy lectures




  • Practicums and peer teaching




  • Restorative or yin sessions in the evening




The structure is designed to train presence and internal stability, not just technique.






Not for Show—For Clarity


You don’t walk out of a 500-hour course just with a certificate. You walk out with:





  • A daily practice you trust




  • A deeper relationship with your breath and attention




  • The ability to teach from direct experience, not mimicry




  • Tools to face distraction, resistance, and self-doubt on the mat and off it




This isn’t about leveling up—it’s about simplifying and sharpening your inner tools.






Final Thought


At Jeevatman Yogshala, the 500-hour training is not performance-based. It’s discipline-based. It’s not about more hours—it’s about more awareness per hour.


If yoga is your foundation, this is the course that deepens your roots.
