Welcome to the 52-Week / 200-Hour Training in Sanātana Haṭha Yoga & Sanātana Yoga

“Yoga is not simply something we practise—it is a way of living, growing, and awakening to our highest potential.”

Welcome to the 52-Week / 200-Hour Training in Sanātana Haṭha Yoga & Sanātana Yoga, a life-changing journey into the authentic teachings of the ancient yogic tradition. This programme has been carefully designed to provide a complete foundation in the philosophy, practice, and lifestyle of Sanātana Yoga, integrating the timeless wisdom of the sages with the needs of modern life.

​

This is far more than a Yoga Teacher Training course. It is a year-long Sādhana (spiritual discipline) that nurtures your body, steadies your mind, refines your emotions, awakens your inner awareness, and inspires you to live with purpose, compassion, and wisdom.

​

Throughout this journey, you will experience yoga in its fullest sense—not merely as physical exercise, but as a complete science of health, self-discovery, and spiritual evolution. You will study and practise the authentic traditions of Haṭha Yoga, Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Mantra Yoga, discovering how each path contributes to holistic wellbeing and inner transformation.

​

Over the course of 52 weeks, you will progressively develop knowledge and practical skills in:

  • Classical Haṭha Yoga Kriyās, Āsanas and Vinyāsas

  • Sūrya Namaskāra and therapeutic movement sequences

  • Prāṇāyāma, Mudrās, Bandhas and yogic relaxation techniques

  • Meditation, concentration and mindfulness practices

  • Yogic anatomy, physiology and subtle energy systems

  • The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali and the Bhagavad Gītā

  • Yogic ethics, lifestyle, nutrition and daily Sādhana

  • The foundations of Sanātana Dharma and yogic philosophy

  • Safe sequencing, teaching methodology and class planning

  • Developing confidence, authenticity and presence as a yoga teacher

 

Unlike intensive short courses, this weekly format allows you to absorb, practise, reflect, and gradually integrate each teaching into your own life. With continuous guidance, live online sessions, daily morning Sādhana, recorded lessons, and ongoing support, your learning becomes a living experience rather than simply an academic qualification.

​

Whether your aspiration is to become a certified yoga teacher, deepen your personal practice, support the wellbeing of others, or simply live a healthier and more meaningful life, this training offers a nurturing and authentic path rooted in the wisdom of the Gurukula tradition.

By the end of this programme, you will not only possess the knowledge and skills to teach yoga with confidence, but you will also cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, discover greater inner peace, and develop the qualities of a true yogi—balance, compassion, discipline, humility, and self-awareness.

​

We invite you to step onto this sacred path with an open heart and a sincere intention to learn. Every breath, every posture, every mantra, and every moment of awareness becomes an opportunity for transformation.

Welcome to the Gurukula family. Welcome to a year of learning, practice, friendship, and self-discovery. Welcome to the timeless journey of Sanātana Haṭha Yoga.

​

“May your practice lead you from movement to stillness, from knowledge to wisdom, and from the individual self to the Universal Self.”
