500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training


500 hour TTC at Starlim India Gives You Great Sense of Confidence

Completing your 500 Hour Teacher Training Course gives you greater confidence in your own proficiency as a yoga teacher. The 200 Hour TTC lays the foundation and when you go in for the 500 hour TTC your understanding of yoga offers deeper clarity and you will find you can demonstrate better competency in your yoga teaching ability.

500 Hour TTC is a spaced journey
 
The 500 Hour TTC can be demanding but those who opt for it take the challenge willing as they feel that their understanding of yoga improves tremendously. Their mastery of anatomy and philosophy and its application in their daily practice lays a solid foundation for their own teaching practice. The 500 hour TTC equips them to impart yoga teaching to their own students with better knowledge. The classes are structured differently and in such a way that they provide ample time for reflection and better understanding of your own yoga journey. “The classes are challenging yet accepting of where each student is at in their journey.”  The teacher trainees are encouraged to honor their own body and to listen to it over what instructions they are receiving during the classes. Yoga is taught not as something to compete about but as something that will contribute to your own wellbeing and development.
500-hour yoga teacher training is structured to advance and reinforce your basic learning and practice of yoga. You will be instructed in the teaching methodology for Asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath control) and dhyana (meditation). Classes in these three and other fields will build on your existing skills in the various postures, pranayama and meditation techniques which will be a step forward in you becoming a registered yoga teacher. As a yoga teacher you will need specific advanced skills and so the 500 hour YTT is designed to fulfill those needs.

» An in-depth study of Yog Sutra and Vedanta will enable you to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the philosophy and practice of yoga. You will be taught to identify body types and capacity of the individuals to adopt yogic practice.
» Human anatomy and physiology and its correlation to yogic practices, mantra chanting and principles of swara yoga are other areas where you will be able to sharpen and polish your skills as required by a teacher.
» One other important aspect that is covered in the course is the study of ethical guidelines that a yoga teacher must accomplish in order to maintain a better student-teacher relationship.
