60 Nights / 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India

This 500 hour Yoga TTC is aimed at those students who would like to complete the 500 hour Yoga TTC in Goa in one stint. The 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Goa runs over 8 weeks with a Distance Learning project to complete in advance before coming to Goa. An 8-week stint at Kranti Yoga will allow you to fully immerse into yoga, both as a practitioner and new yoga teacher. There is a substantial break in between the courses for you to recharge, enjoy some beach time and see a little of the surrounding area.

Ashtanga Yoga and Adjustments

Students will develop a strong practice of Ashtanga Yoga while you study how to adjust each of these postures. Students will learn The Primary Series through a series of Ashtanga Yoga Led Classes and Self-Practices on alternate mornings. The daily Adjustments Workshop will provide the opportunity to learn and practice your alignment and adjustments on each other. Students will then adjust peers in selected morning practices. The adjustments of some popular Vinyasa Flow postures will also be explored.

Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa Flow allows the body to move fluidly with the breath, flowing continuity from posture to posture. On alternate days, you will be taken on a physical and spiritual journey to achieve a challenging peak posture. The classes will demonstrate our sequencing framework which will then be further explored in Teaching Methodology where you will sequence your own classes. These classes aim to be an example of contemporary yoga as taught in studios today. Classes will incorporate dynamic stretches, myofascial release techniques and functional movement to compliment traditional alignment that will be acquired through knowledge of the Primary Series.

Yin Yoga

The Yin Classes will be happening every other day and takes you on a journey of stillness and mindfulness, offering a contrast to the yang nature of daily life. The Class is about deep, blissful poses that target your inner tissues. Teachers learn to guide students in creating a sacred space for this meditative practice. We explore anatomy, energy flow, and the power of mindfulness. The Yin class offers therapeutic benefits like flexibility and stress reduction. It’s a transformative experience that spreads good vibes.

Technical Workshops

These workshops are delivered in order to share our practice at Kranti Yoga. On the 300 YTTC, we have devised a series of workshop that will really allow you to advance your physical practice, achieving some of the more challenging postures of Vinyasa Flow. These workshops are 90 minutes long and will take place at the end of the day as your final daily practice. Workshops include: Shoulder Stability; Functional Movement; Inversions; Arm Balances; Myofascia Release; Backbending, Transitions.

Yoga Philosophy

Students will explore the fundamental concepts of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. This module will guide students to explore different translations and interpretations, looking at the evolution of the commentaries over time. The module will encourage debates on how the mind has evolved through the ages and how we might consider the Yoga Sutras in contemporary society. This module will also include a brief introduction of Ayurveda.
