Key Aspects of yoga ttc
At IYMS, we give equal emphasis, on all aspects of Yoga, the science behind the Yoga. Understanding the science gives the Yogi confidence, as he has deep understanding of the inner physiological, muscular and mental impact of each and every transition of Yogic mudras.
Here are the key learning aspects during the TTC course at IYMS.
1 Anatomy
Unless you understand the human body, you will never be able to understand the science behind every pose of Yoga. The anatomy class emphasises on every posture and the impact of the posture on the human body. It gives the Yogis a new perspective into Yoga.
2 Yoga Philosophy
Yoga is not just a physical exercise, it is an exercise of both mind and body. The philosophy class motivates your mind to be inquisitive and dive deeper into the vast ocean of vedic learnings and Yoga.
3 Perfecting the Asanas
Anyone can do Yoga by watching a youtube video, then what is the need of Gurus? The asanas can be performed, but they need to be mastered and perfected and unless you are in company of someone who has mastered it, you will never come to know your flaws. The teachers align you everyday and by the end of the course, you are not only perfectly aligned but you also understand the importance of alignment.
4 Learn To Teach
Taking a class is the easy part, there are certain aspects of class that a student never even thinks of. Planning a class, picking up the weak students and make sure they don’t hurt themselves, sounding confident during the class, commanding the class during the sessions, we help you understand and overcome each of these hurdles before taking a class.
5 Yogi’s Discipline
Avdhoot Ashram is the perfect place to learn discipline. The ashram not only helps you learn discipline, but it also helps you live to the fullest of your potential. Rising on time, taking balanced diets, taking proper rest, they all add up to make a Yogi. At our ashram, we help you to gradually understand the Yogic style of life.
6 Meditation
Meditation is for the inner self, you might learn to teach Yoga for your students, but it is very important for you to learn Yoga yourself, meditate for the inner peace and rise above the day to day challenges to become a role model for your students.

The ashram follows a very strict daily routine and the courses are designed to bring in transformational changes in every student. The students are expected to stick to the Dincharya (Daily Schedule) of the ashram. The students are expected to ensure that they also stick to the Achar-Rasayan and do not consume anything tamasic during the program to experience the intended changes during and after the Course.
We use traditional Yogic methods and discourage all apbhrans(Modified forms) of Yoga. The students must understand that the derived forms do not have a vedic(Ancient) scientific origin. They are great exercise forms but Yoga is beyond the physical self.
IYMS is a school of Yoga and Meditation. We welcome students from all cultures and encourage diversity. However, one has to give up all their tamasic activities like eating non-vegetarian diet, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes or any other substance. Intoxication of any form will get you expelled with no refunds.
The students can cancel their booking and get 90% refund on the booking amount till 30 days from the date of start of course. They can transfer their booking to another month or another student upto 15 days days from the date of start of the course. In such cases, the students would have to pay the fee for the month they are transferring their booking to instead of the originally booked fee.
Reviews
I did my yoga teacher training here. The quality/price ratio was very good, especially since I have heard much worse things about other places. The teachers were great, the food was awesome and the atmosphere was nice at the ashram. Of course, there were times/days when all those things weren’t as good but there are always up and downs, that’s part of life.
Olivia DerksGermanyI had successfully completed the 200 Yoga Teacher Training gaining my teaching certificate. I had truly an incredible – life changing month at the Avdhoot Ashram and have learned a huge amount in such a short period of time. I had also grown as a person both physically and mentally. I am very confident in my asanas and get into poses deeper than ever, and my mind seems sharper and more focused. I am ever so grateful to my incredible teachers Vikas, Siddhant, Vicky and Vipul, and of course to YMYS for all that I had learned. Namaste.
IYMS is a great place with supportive people. From airport pickup to every Yoga class you feel the personal touch in everything. The food, the people, everything is just wonderful. If you are planning to send someone to India for Yoga, it’s the best place. The ashram is located in the city and you can easily go to any place you want as there are a lot of tuk tuk that can take you anywhere.
Charles CornelioUSALovely, knowledgeable yogis at IYMS who put you and yoga above all else as priorities in teacher training. In-depth studies available here at an unbeatable price. Rishikesh is considered the World Capital of Yoga…unbelievable cultural and natural sites to explore including the nearby sacred Mother Ganges River as well as waterfalls, meditation caves and more. Totally heartwarming experience. Please say hello and namaste to IYMS’ Yogi Vivek when you visit…one of the best laughs and senses of humor that you might ever encounter on this planet we call home.
