What is Early Bird Fee?
A limited number of Early Bird seats are available for each program. As the name suggests, these seats are offered to those who register early and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note that the Early Bird fee is not determined by a specific date or time period. Once all Early Bird seats have been filled, registrations will automatically continue at the Standard Fee, regardless of how far in advance the registration is made.
We therefore encourage interested participants to register early if they wish to avail themselves of the Early Bird fee.
Why Early Registration Matters
Yoga Teacher Training is not an Amazon shopping cart experience. It is not something you book and simply show up for. The 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at Samyak is an intensive, immersive, residential process that requires physical stamina, mental steadiness, and readiness to study and reflect.
Early registration is not just about reserving a seat - it is about preparing for the training itself.
Once you register, your journey begins through Samyak Kulam, where you can start preparatory asana practice, guided sessions, and reflective learning. We strongly recommend dedicating at least one hour a day, 5–6 days a week, for a few months before the training begins.
This preparation is not about flexibility or being “advanced,” but about building consistency, endurance, and inner discipline.
Students who register early arrive more grounded, struggle less physically, and are able to absorb the depth of the training more fully.
If you are looking for something casual, recreational, or purely enjoyable without study and commitment, this training may not be the right fit. But if you are willing to prepare sincerely, Samyak will support you from the moment you register - long before you arrive in Mysore.
Early registration is not a formality. It is the first step of your training.

What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic method of practice in which movement, breath and asanas are intelligently connected in a progressive sequence. The approach taught at Samyak draws from the tradition of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and the principles of Vinyasa Krama. Vinyasa is not simply placing different asanas one after another.
Each posture has a way of entering, staying and transitioning, while individual asanas and families of asanas are thoughtfully sequenced to prepare the body and mind for what follows.
This intelligent and progressive approach to sequencing is the essence of Vinyasa Krama.
What is Tristhana Practice?
Triṣṭhāna refers to the three elements that come together in Vinyasa practice: Āsana (posture), breath, and Dṛṣṭi (gaze). Rather than focusing only on the physical posture, these three aspects help bring the body, breath and mind into the practice together.
Āsana relates to Annamaya Kośa (the physical body), breath to Prāṇamaya Kośa (the vital or energetic body), and Dṛṣṭi to Manomaya Kośa (the mental dimension).
With continued practice, this integration creates a foundation for the subtler practices of Bandha, concentration and eventually Dhyāna (meditation).
