50-Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Online, $149 only (Approved by Yoga Alliance)
What is Ashtanga Yoga?
There are two aspects of Ashtanga Yoga; theoretical and practical.
Theory: Ashtanga yoga, or eight-limbed yoga/eightfold path of yoga towards liberation, is a philosophical/theoretical concept first mentioned in a book (Yoga Sutras) written about 2000 years ago by Rishi Patanjali. The eight different limbs are Yama (seld-restraint), Niyama (discipline), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathwork), Pratyahara (making the five senses look inwards), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (Bliss)
Practice: Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (also called Ashtanga Yoga) is a yoga system developed by K. Pattabhi Jois in the early 20th century. This system takes inspiration from the teachings of his Guru, T. Krishnamacharya, who taught him the essence of various texts like Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradpika, and Yoga Korunta. Ashtanga yoga is known for its emphasis on precision and alignment. The primary series of Ashtanga yoga is a set of poses linked with vinyasas. The primary series is a foundation practice that provides the basis of the other five Ashtanga yoga sequences. As well as the poses, it includes a specific pranayama technique, usage of bandha, Drishti (eye gaze points), and coordinated movement. The Sanskrit name for the Primary Series is Yoga Chikitsa, which translates as “Yoga Therapy.” It is thus named because it is said to purify and heal the body.

TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS
I will do it all over again
I’ve had such a pleasant experience with arohan yoga teacher training in rishikesh. The family behind the school and all the staff are absolutely lovely people. The teachers are very talented and supportive in their own way. Furthermore, the area surrounding the school is incredibly beautiful, situated just by the Ganga with forests and mountains in the background in rishikesh. The noisiest things around are birdsong. I enjoyed every bit of my stay and could I do it over, I would still have chosen this school.
Thank you so much for everything!
Incredibe experience !
This school is in a peaceful part of Rishikesh with a direct view of the Ganges and mountains. Firstly, The instructors are great, and They care about and invest in each of the students. Most importantly, The yogic practices are backed up by science, and the learning of ashtanga is rooted in yogic philosophy: Highly recommend it.
Challenging yet fun
This is a challenging yet fun YTT set right along the Ganges River. The YTT is family-owned, providing a cozy, easy-going atmosphere. The location is outside the tourist area and, therefore, considerably tranquil, with access to nature and sweeping views of the Himalayas and Ganges. Prospective students should be prepared to do a lot of yoga and spend a significant amount of time learning about yoga beyond the asana practice – including theory, cleansing techniques, breath control, meditation techniques, and aerial postures
Best desicion for me to book Arohan Yoga
It was the best decision for me to book my 200 hr YTTC with Arohan Yoga. I was worried at first to come to India all by myself but they helped me with everything i ever needed. The Teachers are all very knowledgeable, kind and attentive. They made us feel home away from home always. The area is perfectly located at the Ganges. It is very quiet and peaceful. I loved the Accommodation as well and felt very comfortable there. I can definitely recommend Arohan Yoga to anyone being seriously interested to learn about Yoga in a holistic way. I’m so grateful for this experience and hope return one day…
