Chakra Yoga TTC (25Hrs)
According to Yoga philosophy and science, we are all composed of energy, with multiple frequencies vibrating within us, impacting our emotional and physical well-being. Western science is now exploring these concepts. These centres of energy are known as chakras.
​
In Sanskrit, "chakra" means "spinning wheel or vortex." Chakras are a convergence of energy, ideas, feelings, and the physical body. They interact with our physical form through the endocrine and neurological systems. Each of the seven primary chakras corresponds to one of the seven endocrine glands and a specific nerve group.
​
During this transformative training, you will learn how these chakras function, how they influence various organs, and how to use yogic practices to unblock any hindrances. By doing so, you will unlock your full potential and enhance your overall well-being. Join us to deepen your knowledge, elevate your practice, and inspire positive change in yourself and others.

Yoga Psychology TTC (25Hrs)
Yoga is a powerful branch of positive psychology that combines theory and practice to cultivate a positive mindset, thought process, behaviour and overall approach to life. Yoga beautifully elucidates how the human mind's conditionings are the root cause of life's challenges. Through yogic teachings, we gain tools to reverse these conditionings, transforming a negative state of mind into one of calm and contentment. With consistent practice, anyone can experience this profound shift.
​
This inspiring course will cover a wide range of topics related to our behavioural patterns, the workings of the mind, and how to develop a more positive and balanced outlook on life.

Pranayama TTC (15Hrs)
Pranayama is one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, as mentioned in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, making it a crucial step on the path to enlightenment. Your breathing pattern significantly influences your focus and physical abilities in yoga postures (asana) and grounding activities (meditation).
​
Our breath directly affects our nervous system, controlling fight-or-flight, rest-and-relaxation responses, as well as our respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Essentially, the way we breathe impacts almost every aspect of our well-being.
​
Daily stress, anxieties, lifestyle choices, and habits often create physical and energetic barriers in our bodies, leading to shallow or erratic breathing. Over time, we develop unconscious breathing patterns that hinder the flow of breath and prana. Many people suffer from abnormal breathing patterns without realising it.
​
In this transformative course, you will gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of breathing, focus, and grounding practices, and how they impact the body and mind. You will also learn practical tools and techniques to effectively incorporate pranayama teachings into your yoga classes. Join us to deepen your practice, enhance your teaching skills, and inspire positive change in yourself and your students.

Meditation TTC (15Hrs)
Meditation is deeply intertwined with life, representing the culmination of a purified and sattvic existence. Yoga is meditation, and meditation is yoga.

But did you know that mindfulness, a step towards yoga, can be practiced beyond your yoga mat?
​
This inspiring course will guide you through various grounding practices to prepare you for meditation. Through the theory and psychology of meditation derived from ancient Indian wisdom, including the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga, Vedas, and stories of enlightened saints and masters, you will explore and examine the principles and practices of meditation.
