    What to Expect During the Course?

    Becoming a yoga teacher is a once in a lifetime opportunity. During these four weeks of Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, you will go through different phases.

    Week One

    The first week you’ll learn to get used to studying 7 hours a day.  You will receive authentic yoga philosophy classes and feel inspired by the philosophical stories. As a result, you will develop connections and friendships with your classmates.

    Week Two

    By the second week, you will have found your niche in the ashram life and no doubt see your meditation and asana practice flourish. Even if you find it difficult to keep up during ‘how to teach’ class, there’s a vast range of other classes on offer such as Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga. Furthermore, you’ll get to grips with asana correction and modification techniques while teaching in groups of three. With concepts from yoga philosophy slowly sinking in, you may soon start to view life through a different lens.

    Week Three

    In the third week, you’ll witness the most remarkable growth in terms of physical and mental development traces of the previous weeks’ hard work. You’ll be amazed at your burgeoning teaching expertise, as well as your expanding comprehension of yoga postures and anatomy. The enormity of experiences could lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed at times; however, it will be incredibly tranquilizing to exist in a cozy, amicable community without needing to stress over preparing meals and washing up dishes. Chances are you will feel the pang for your family and friends, wanting to reconnect soon.

    Week Four

    In the fourth week, you will be occupied with finishing exams. You may have a blend of sentiments about finishing this course; reuniting with your beloved, transitioning back to your usual way of life and separating from your new yoga community. In the remaining days, you will be elated by an astonishing sense of achievement, assurance in yourself and emotions that cannot be articulated. These gratifying sensations will certainly bring pleasure and contentment.

    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
