200 Hour Hatha Yoga TTC in Nepal

YTT Courses & Yoga Retreats in the Nepal

Why choose Nepal for your Yoga Teacher Training Course?

Nepal may appear small on the map sandwiched between these two enormous countries since it shares borders with China and India.

However, it’s truly pretty large—possibly larger than the Nepali yoga spirit! It is a country where you can achieve awareness with each step you take. Whether trekking through a remote village, exploring a massive temple, or scaling Mount Everest, Nepal is renowned for its ethereal, spiritual atmosphere.

Not to mention that going on a yoga retreat to Nepal is one of the most amazing things you can do. This land contains jungle wildlife, golden temples, unique ceremonies, and heritage sites. It is the ideal location for a yoga holiday, from its humid woodland plains to the freezing alpine summits.

To give you an idea of the spiritual atmosphere surrounding here, remember that the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is Lumbini, in southern Nepal. It is regarded as the birthplace of yoga in India and has a rich Hindu culture that has enhanced the yoga concept since its inception.

Nepalis are well known for their warm personalities; they are great hosts, constantly have a smile, and live each day with optimism and delight. Undoubtedly, any yogi may use a method on and off the mat.

However, this cosmopolitan nation is not limited to its spiritual undertones. There are many complementary activities to enjoy while on a yoga vacation in this region, which is home to several highest peaks on Earth.

Remember that eight of the ten tallest mountains in the world are here. This entails beautiful scenery for practicing your asanas, clean air for pranayama, and various hiking and yoga retreats that will give your practice new depth.

Anyone looking for tranquility, serenity, wholesome cuisine, yoga instruction and training, peace of mind, and an internal perspective is welcome at the 100-hour program. It is not a social vacation hotspot but a place to discover one’s center and relax the senses.

What is Hatha Yoga & What will you learn?

Hatha Yoga is the first and most ancient style of yoga. At its origin and for many centuries on, yoga did not have anything to do with physical postures: it was all about the deep study and understanding of the mind through meditation and ascetic practices.
The ancient sages and yogis started then to develop some seated postures that would help them to gain physical flexibility so that they could endure many many hours of seated meditation.

The classic text on Hatha Yoga (Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Svatmarama, written in the XV century) can be considered almost as an anthology of many Hatha texts combined. It includes fifteen primary postures (seated and non seated) as well as other additional postures, totalling 84 asanas. This is the first time we know of an asana being described as something other than a seated position. After all, the word asana means “to seat”, specifically a seat for meditation. 84 is a number used over and over again in spiritual practices, representing a connection between the individual practitioner and the universe.

Hatha Yoga is about balancing the body and mind. HA represents the sun and THA the moon. The practice of Hatha Yoga aims to join and balance these two energies. This is why, during our TTC, we give particular focus and importance to the practice of traditional Hatha Yoga; expect to move through a set of physical postures to warm up the body and circulate the energies, along with breathing techniques. You will be learning the traditional Surya Namaskar Hatha Yoga style and the different variations of it. You will also be practicing many other asana both standing and seated/reclining. These are typically practised more slowly and held for longer than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class.

Other than asana, there are five more practices in Hatha Yoga that form the six limbs that you will be learning with us; they are: Shatkarma, Pranayama, Bandhas, Mudras and Samadhi. Lastly, during the “art of teaching” classes, you are going to learn the perfect alignment and all the variations of the main asana which are found in Hatha Yoga, through the expert guidance of lead teacher Hari ji.

Pranayama

Pranayama is an ancient breath technique that originates from yogic practices using which you can control every juncture of your life. Some pranayama techniques you will learn in this course are:

  • Surya & Chandra Bhedana
  • Ujjayi Breath
  • Sitkari
  • Sitali
  • Bhramari
  • Anulom Vilom
  • Kapalbhati & Bhastrika
pranayama class
Ashtanga posture

What to expect in a Hatha Yoga Asana class?

  • Breathing & grounding
  • Warm-up like Pawanmuktasana Series I,II & III
  • Asanas Sun Salutation, flows through the 42 hatha yoga asanas
  • Relaxation

Mantras & Mudras

Mantras are considered as an important part of Hatha 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.
