Yoga Sangraha Teacher Training YSTT 2025 SPL

Becoming a yoga teacher happens over time and evolves through your dedication to practice, teaching, growth, and constant learning. In this course, Robert, Eddie, and Harsh share their knowledge from decades of teaching experience and guide you in how to teach Yoga in a simple, effective, and straightforward manner. Teaching Yoga effectively occurs best when you practice it regularly, so a large part of this training will focus on daily practices. Arguably, the most important aspect of yoga is the perception shift it can give you, where you develop a newfound sense of who you are on a deep level that cascades forward in many different, powerful, life-changing ways. The traditional practices of asanas, pranayamas, inquiry, devotion, and study provide guidelines and a pathway to enhance and develop this experience, and the changes you experience in your life from these practices will inspire your Yoga teaching. In our training, we will teach you the basic philosophy, asanas, and pranayama from some of the most important yoga texts and practices of the past one hundred years, as well as those of several influential teachers and institutions in India. We have broken up each topic into mini-courses that, taken together, give a comprehensive background in the history, philosophy, practice, and teaching of Yoga. 

Yoga asanas are a foundational practice that traditionally prepares the physical body for meditative and devotional practices. Today, asanas are practiced for overall health, well-being, and physical culture. The asanas and asana sequences in Yoga Sangraha positively affect the signaling of the nervous system. They are chosen from the larger Hatha Yoga traditions and do not represent any one particular lineage of asanas from India. The postures are largely accessible and are focused on developing awareness within physical postures. The practices that you will learn in Level 1 are beginner practices, suitable for general classes and one-on-one teaching. You will receive teaching scripts in the teaching manual to help get you started as a teacher. 

The course is spread out over 8 weeks.

  • The various asana traditions of India have been articulated in multiple ways over the past two thousand years. Asanas are an integral part of a larger spiritual quest in Indic literature and have always been used to firmly fix one’s body and mind in the direction of self-realization. However, the conceptions of realization differ from tradition to tradition. An overview of the different traditions will provide an enhanced understanding of how and why we practice asanas, complementing the experiential component of the Level 1 practices.
