The dream of studying authentic yoga in Rishikesh, India has traditionally required international travel, visa arrangements, time away from work and family, and significant financial investment. But what if you are able to get the same genuine teaching by the experienced Indian yoga masters without travelling out of your home country? At Himalayan Yoga Association, Rishikesh comes to you via our holistic online yoga teacher training programmes. International students around the world can now receive the traditional Indian yoga training, receive internationally accredited certification and get in touch with the origin of yoga, all at the comfort of their home.
What is Online Yoga Teacher Training?
Online yoga teacher training is a form of certification that provides full programmes using digital platforms, where recorded video classes are used in addition to interactive classes. Our online courses at HYA offer the same complete curriculum, qualified instructors, and globally acclaimed qualifications as our in-seat training in Rishikesh.
You will learn under the same qualified teachers, who will be teaching at our Rishikesh campus, thus traditional teaching of Indian yoga. The curriculum encompasses everything needed to obtain the certification of Yoga Alliance and IYO including the practice of asana, pranayama breathing, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, and teaching methodology.
Also unlike the pre-recorded courses where one studies in complete solitude, our online training has daily live Zoom and an online school session with your teachers and students worldwide. This is achieved through self-paced video learning and real time interaction which make this a good learning as well as preserving the flexibility that makes online education so good in the eyes of international students.
Online Learning Advantages to the International Student
Through online training, most of the significant barriers that restricted the ability of many international students to learn authentic yoga in India are removed. No visa applications, no passport requirements, no international flights, no accommodation issues and no time off the house. You get pure Rishikesh yoga teaching without any problem of travelling.
There are significant financial savings. Training online costs a hundredth of a face-to-face training considering the money spent on flights, stay to complete weeks/months, food, travel insurance and money in India. This renders the legitimacy of yoga teacher certification among students who could not afford to train in foreign countries before.
Time is elasticity, which means that yoga education becomes impossible to impossible courses for busy international students. Complete your training as you go on with your job, nurture your family, learn other things, or manage other life commitments. Whatever suits your timeline and schedule, you can study in the early mornings, late evenings or on weekends.
You are able to train in the setting that you are accustomed to with the equipment that you already possess. There is no change of your home practice environment, your mat, your props and your routine. This comfort also removes the time lag of getting adjusted to the new environments that may interfere with the learning process in face-to-face training.
Online Training: What It Covers
Our e-studies have all the learning aids and assistance. You get unlimited access to more than 200 professionally produced video classes on all yoga training. Our highly qualified teachers have made these professionally produced videos, which include performance of asanas, explanation of alignment, teaching of pranayama techniques, teaching of meditation and also the lectures on philosophy and anatomy.
Live Zoom classes, 90 minutes a day, provide live interaction with teachers and other students. These classes involve asana, pranayama, meditation, question and answer, teaching practice and community connection. The live classes provide structure and responsibility and provide the ability to communicate directly with the instructors.
You get a detailed PDF-based course manual that goes into detail on all the curriculum topics. This full reference manual will assist your research in the training phase and then be used as one of your lifetime guides in your teaching career. Included in the manual are descriptions of asana, instructions of pranayama, explanation of philosophy, anatomy as well as guidelines on teaching.
You have one year of full access to the course materials, so that after the enrollment, you can revisit and revisit the lessons, revisit the concepts and revise knowledge long after the certification. This prolonged access facilitates further learning and personal growth as you start teaching.
How Online Classes Work
The organisation has a blend of flexibility and consistency. Video lessons can be studied 24/7 so that you can study at any time that fits your schedule. Practice watching asana early in the morning before going to work, study philosophy in the middle of the day in between lunch breaks, or study anatomy late in the night when the children have gone to sleep. It is flexible to any time zone or any lifestyle.
Live Zoom classes will be timetabled to take place at regular hours, which form routine and community. Although the time may be tough on one side of the world, we have a variety of session schedules whenever possible to cater to international students all around the world. These online classes have the human touch and instant feedback that is effective in learning.
Live sessions provide the opportunity to ask questions, get corrections on your practice verbally, show poses to get feedback, teach the group, and mingle with other students. This is because the interaction is in real-time, and you do not need to study alone but as a part of a supportive worldwide yoga community.
Learning activities and tests keep you on track and guarantee thorough knowledge. You will do written papers on philosophy and anatomy, video recordings of your practice of asana and demonstrations of teaching, and engage in discussions with other students. Such demands make you correspond to the same level as face-to-face students.
Who Will Benefit from Online Training?
Online training is ideal for working professionals unable to afford long leave off their jobs. Learn according to your work schedule without having to ask for leave or jeopardising your career growth. A great number of students go through certification during full-time employment and spend their early mornings, evenings, and weekends studying yoga.
Parents, who have young children, do not need to arrange childcare in the long run or be absent for weeks to be certified. Sleep with the child anytime there is anything like a nap, or bedtime, or when a child has some child care. The flexibility enables yoga teacher training to take place even during the hectic parenting years.
The ones with a tight budget can invest in their education and not on travelling costs. The saved money can be used to further the education, jump start your teaching business, or to support your family as you establish your career in yoga.
Authentic yoga education can be received by everyone who has health issues, mobility problems, and disabilities that could complicate international travelling. The online system eliminates the physical barriers and offers detailed training.
