200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
DIVE
YOGĀRT COLLECTIVE is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS) offering internationally recognized Yoga Teacher Training in Canacona, South Goa.
Our 200-hour foundational yoga course blends traditional wisdom with a modern understanding of anatomy, movement, and mindfulness, preparing you to become a confident, knowledgeable, and inspired yoga teacher or practitioner.
A Holistic and Integrative YTTC in South Goa
This 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTTC) offers more than just posture practice. You’ll gain a well-rounded education in yoga that unites:
-
Human Anatomy & Biomechanics – develop a precise understanding of how the body moves and how to teach safely.
-
The 5 Elements System from Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine – explore energy flow, emotional balance, and natural rhythms.
-
Samkhya Philosophy – understand the deeper psychology and purpose behind yoga practice.
Through this integration of science and spirit, you’ll refine your skills in alignment, sequencing, adjustments, and cueing, creating safe and meaningful experiences for your students. Understanding the 5 elements in action also helps you to know yourself—body, mind, and soul—on a deeper level.
Our Teaching Style
Our approach draws inspiration from Ashtanga Yoga Chikitsa (Therapy) and the alignment principles of Therapeutic Yoga.
This is not an Ashtanga training, but a creative and therapeutic evolution of it—using its structure to build flow, rhythm, and purification.
Throughout the training, you’ll explore a range of practices, including:
-
Alignment-Based Vinyasa Flow
-
Ashtanga-Inspired Movement
-
Yin Yoga
-
Yoga Nidra
-
Mindfulness and Meditation
A Transformative Journey of Self-Discovery
Our Yoga Teacher Training in Japan emphasizes experiential learning and self-inquiry.
Each student is encouraged to listen deeply, reflect, and engage in practices that build awareness from within. Held in a nurturing group setting, this process becomes a journey of inner transformation and personal growth.
By the end of the course, you will not only be qualified to teach yoga worldwide but also embody the essence of yoga as a way of life.
