Advanced Asanas
Advance asanas include complex yoga postures that are challenging and need a high level of strength, balance, mental focus, breath control, and body balance. These postures should be attempted with the guidance of a yoga expert.
Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomical understanding of the body is an important skill in the career of a Yoga Teacher to prevent injury, before during, and after the practice. In addition to 200 Hours of YTTC’s scientific approach towards the subject, 300 Hours of advanced yoga teacher training course teach how to apply this science to yoga practice along with the benefits, contradictions, and orientation towards physical well-being. At Yoga Adi, our expert Physiologist teaches the most creative therapeutic application of postures and working with injuries and ailments.
Yoga Philosophy
Yogic Philosophy is a vast subject that deepens more and more as the Yoga Sutras decodes the set-mind patterns and renew our understanding according to the Yogic lifestyle. As we dive deeper into the philosophy in 300 Hours Yoga Teacher Training, Yogis take the privilege to elaborate ancient scripts such as Bhagavad Gita and Shiv Samhita, decrypting the Sanskrit dialectical tales which are preserved poetically without any logical distortions.
Patanjali’s very first Sutra, ‘Yoga Chitti Vritti Nirodha’, intensifies with each module of this course challenging the pet habits of our mind, bringing a deep sense of self-realization.
Teaching Methodology
In Sanskrit, the literal translation to the teacher is a Guru, who guides the aspirants on the path of learning. Yoga Adi’s faculty is blessed to have traditional Gurus who educate our students always to be humble yet disciplinary in the teaching practice. Under the guidance of respective faculty, students deliver their Yoga Asana sessions and get appropriate feedback to practice their skills in a safe environment.
Pranayama and Meditation
Pranayama is the science of breathing that regulates the bio-plasmic physiology of the body and state of mind. The deeper and more aware the breathing is, the stronger the life presence becomes. Practicing and learning the breath modulation exercises unlocks advanced levels of Yogic exercises such as asana and meditation. 300-Hour YTTC unravels the keynotes of advanced breath control with internal locks (bandhas), channeling the energy with spirituous gestures (mudra) followed by internal cleansing techniques (kriya).
Meditation is a simple art of observation. Meditation brings us closer to the nature of our reality and culminates all the unnecessary ideas formed in the darkness of unconsciousness. In 300-Hour YTTC, Yoga Nidra, Sufi Meditations, Vipashna, and Dynamic meditations are taught and practiced daily, along with many more styles, to bring the conscious mind in communication with the deepest aspects of your Yoga practice.
Yoga Therapy
The practice of using specific yoga asanas to heal illnesses and injuries is known as yoga therapy. Yoga therapy is an option as a stand-alone treatment or as an addition to standard medical care. The regimen might include stretching, deep breathing techniques, and meditation. Back pain, joint pain, stiffness, strain, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just a few of the health problems that yoga can help with. Yoga therapists with training in biomechanics, metabolism, and psychology typically lead one-on-one or small-group yoga therapy classes.

Define your niche 2. Create a brand 3. Build a strong online presence 4. Offer free classes 5. Offer workshops and retreats and many more.
Ayurveda
ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. As well as Naturopathy, it is not based on treating disease but to promote good health. Ayurveda suggests that there are three life forces or energies, called Doshas. They are Vata (Space and air), Pitta (Fire and water), and Kapha (water and earth). Each person then is a unique mix of these three dosas, although one is usually stronger than the others. During the course, you will gain basic knowledge about Ayurveda as an alternative medicine and information on how to use it in your daily life.
Shatkarma
Shatkarma means the 6 cleansing practices performed to detoxify the vital channels of the body. The science of Shatkarma works on the overall health of the body which involves intestinal purification, large intestine flush (enema), gaseous waste removal from the abdomen(Nauli), nasal and food pipe cleaning, and eyes cleansing(Trataka). 300 Hour YTTC teaches all these as well as further progression in the Shatkarma, training the students to perform Nauli & Bhastrika Kriya, which are only demonstrated in 200 Hour YTTC
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is an ancient branch of knowledge on how to heal the body with 5 elements of Nature i.e. Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Yogis have always known how to revive their well-being and that’s what Yoga Adi aspires to share with their students as an exclusive feature of the 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course.

Yoga Nidra
