200 Hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher Training Course In Dharamsala

The spiritual town of Dharamsala provides a haven for practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism. It is a peaceful area surrounded by cedar forests and features hills, picnic areas, and magnificent spiritual qualities.

As a result of the typical landscape consisting of verdant tea plantations, pine forests, and snowy peaks, this region is a beautiful collaboration between Tibetan society and Indian society and forms the ideal blend of cultures.

A sense of spirituality permeates the entire place, from the streets to the homes, and it’s even in the air.

The seclusion of the location, combined with the possibility of reaching a serene meditative vantage point on the summit of the mountain after only a few minutes of hiking, makes this an excellent location for the performance of ascetic observances. In addition to the natural splendor and tranquility that it provides, Dharamshala also provides the opportunity to cultivate relationships with the locals and engage in meaningful exchanges with them. They help you develop additional self-discipline and open your eyes to other aspects of life that are significant. Buddhist stupas and Hindu temples surround the area, and their combined prayers for world peace can be heard loud and clear.

What is Multi-style Yoga?

The Multi-Style TTC is widely regarded as our most popular course. This comprehensive yoga teacher training program provides an excellent opportunity to explore various styles of yoga. We cover a range of practices, from the traditional foundations of Hatha Yoga to the dynamic energy of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow, as well as the blissful relaxation of Yin Yoga. By delving into these different yet complementary styles of asana practice, you’ll gain a well-rounded understanding of yoga.

Each week, we place a deeper emphasis on Hatha Yoga, as it is considered the primary and most fundamental style of physical yoga. Through a rotating schedule, you’ll have the chance to experience different aspects of yoga asanas, allowing you to sample various “yoga flavors” and develop your own personal style of practice.

In addition to three hours of asana practice each day, the course also delves into yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, pranayama and meditation, mantra chanting, ecstatic dance, book sharing, and other enjoyable activities. These experiences will ignite your inner “yoga engine” and leave you feeling energised and inspired.

Mantras & Mudras

Mantras are considered as an important part of Yoga. When you recite mantras, the energy channels of the body open up, and you become more reception to the universe. It also aids one to focus the mind on the yoga practice. When you recite mantras, your stored emotions are released and you get the full benefits of the asanas.

Mudras are nothing but gestures, which you make with your hands and fingers mostly. There are nerves that pass through the fingertips, and each one is connected to a specific organ. When you press the same, you are actually providing therapeutic healing to those body parts.
