What To Expect During The Course?

During the four weeks of Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course, you will go through different phases.

Week One

In the first week you will get used to studying for 7 hours a day. From the second day you will start teaching. Even if you have never taught before, you will see that you really enjoy it. You will get authentic yoga philosophy classes and feel inspired by philosophical stories. As a result, you’ll develop relationships and friendships with your classmates.

Week Two

By the 2nd week, you will have found your place in ashram life and will undoubtedly see your meditation and asana practice flourish. Even if you find it difficult to keep up during a ‘How To Teach’ class, there is a huge range of other classes available such as Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga. Plus, you’ll get to grips with asana correction & modification techniques while taught in groups of three. With a gradual assimilation of the concepts of yoga philosophy, you may soon begin to see life through a different lens.

Week Three

In the third week, you will see the most notable growth as a mark of physical and mental growth from the hard work of the previous weeks. You will be amazed by your growing understanding of yoga postures and anatomy, along with your growing teaching expertise. The enormity of experiences can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed at times; However, living in a comfortable, friendly community without the stress of preparing meals and washing dishes would be incredibly calming. Chances are you’ll feel pain for your family and friends, who will be wanting to reconnect soon.

Week Four

In the fourth week, you will be busy completing the examinations. You may have mixed feelings about completing this course; Reuniting with your loved one, getting back to your normal way of life and being apart of your new yoga community. In the rest of the days, you will have a stunning sense of accomplishment, assurance in yourself and emotions that cannot be articulated. These gratifying experiences will definitely bring joy and satisfaction.

Amazing yoga school with amazing staff and teachers. I did my 300h teacher training in 2018 with no prior yoga knowledge and they could deliver the experience my soul needed. Also, it is pretty close from Rishikesh and Lakshman Jhula bridge, so you can hike a bit and explore that beautiful town!

I had yoga teacher training course 200h at Shiva Tattva yoga school in Nov 2022. For me it was first time in India and Rishikesh and I really had a beautiful time here. Yogi Sachin, owner of the school, he cares the students as his house guests and all his staffs treated me like a family member. The Yoga hall and the rooms are amazing. I checked many schools when I arrived in Rishikesh and here was the best. I am very proud of myself to find this treasure place. And 3 meals a day were so delicious that I gained the weight by only veggie food ;)) Yoga course is mainly Hatha Yoga. And the program is very well organised for beginners and intermediates for 200h course. Teachers were so sincere and genuine. I’ve learned so much more than I thought. And the energy and atmosphere of the place were just powerful and gave me so much insight to have my own journey. Once again I want to say that I sincerely appreciate the time and experience with all of you there. It changed my life and still I am on my journey with all I’ve leaned there. Hope to visit here again soon in my life time. Hari Om🙏😌

Just finished 200h course. What an amazing experience! Teachers are great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Small group size creates family atmosphere and allows you to go deeper into chosen topic. Also very happy with food and accommodation. Definitely the best location in Rishikesh! Very quiet, clean and green with beautiful views of the mountains from your room. Staff and management are excellent. Communication was very clear and my all needs and requests were met quickly and efficiently. I had a wonderful time here. Namaste

A ben 54 anni ho deciso di fare il corso di yoga di 200 h. in India, seppur con il mio inglese stentato. È stata una delle esperienze più gratificanti della mia vita! Alla scuola Shiva Tattva ho trovato persone oneste e insegnanti qualificati pronti a dare senza risparmio. I ragazzi del gruppo da ogni parte del mondo sono Stati meravigliosi e mi hanno aiutato molto.La scuola è molto confortevole e in un'ottima posizione fuori dal centro che però si raggiunge a piedi in pochi minuti e circondata dal verde e dalle montagne. Ma qui non solo ho imparato le posizioni yoga ma soprattutto la filosofia yoga e la meditazione,, che ti cambiano la vita . Grazie di cuore

I spent 2 months in this incredible school doing the 500 hour Hatha Yoga teacher training, the location is amazing, just besides a waterfall and far from the busy streets, loved to take walks around and go explore the mountains. I highly recommend this school, the managers, teachers, chef and everybody that works there are incredible
