Purvabhyasa on Samyak Kulam
Pre & Post Yoga Teacher Training support
Yoga Teacher Training is not a retreat, but intense, professional training and needs preparation before the training.
But then how to prepare before the training begins?
Once the preparation fee is paid, you will get access to Samyak Kulam. This allows you access 'To Purvabhyasa - Preparation for Yoga Teacher Training.
This includes videos, audio files, PDF charts, tips for packing for the training etc. This 'Purvabhyasa' is accessible once the registration fee (preparation fee) is paid. Even after the training, you will have the access to frequent online practice classes, weekly philosophy classes, ask & get motivated with Samyak community of over 3000 + yoga practitioners across the world.
When should you register for the training?
We strongly encourage you to register at least 5–6 months before the 200-Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training begins.
This is not a course you simply book and attend. The Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Samyak is a disciplined, residential immersion that requires steady effort, physical preparedness, and a sincere willingness to study and reflect.
Registering early gives you time to prepare in the right way. After registration, you receive access to Samyak Kulam, where you can begin guided preparatory practice and foundational study. We recommend committing to at least one hour of practice, 5–6 days a week, for a few months before the course starts.
The goal is not to become more flexible or “advanced,” but to build strength, endurance, and consistency. Students who prepare in advance arrive more stable, adapt more smoothly, and are able to go deeper into the training. Your preparation begins the moment you register.

Who is Eligible for Hatha Yoga Teacher Training?
At Samyak Yoga, the Hatha Yoga Teacher Training is designed for all sincere seekers of Yoga — whether you are relatively new to the practice or have been walking this path for years.
For Newer Practitioners
If you’ve recently discovered Yoga and are truly drawn to explore it more deeply, this training is a beautiful doorway. You do not need to have mastered advanced postures. What matters most is your dedication, openness to learn, and willingness to go beyond the surface.
The training will provide you with a structured, immersive foundation in traditional Hatha Yoga, helping you build your practice in the most authentic way — grounded in both technique and philosophy.
For Experienced Practitioners
If you’ve been practicing Yoga for 2–4 years or more and are ready to refine your practice, understand the “why” behind the “what,” and perhaps start sharing Yoga with others, this training will challenge and expand your journey.
You’ll go deeper into asana alignment, breath work, philosophy, teaching methodology, and more — all guided by a team of experienced teachers within a traditional Ashram setting.
Intensive Training in Yoga, not a Yoga retreat
It’s an immersive experience rooted in tradition - with early mornings, consistent practice, and deep study. Therefore, do not cary any zoom meeting while you study here. Do not consider this a Yoga vacation. The training is intense not in pressure, but in authenticity. It’s a true spiritual journey that offers insights, intense traditional practice and a renewed understanding of Yoga in its most authentic form.

200-Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training
The Course Syllabus
Traditional Hatha Yoga Practice
The early morning practice brings you the traditional style of Hatha Yoga. This practice is built slowly from the first week to the last week. The intensity gets deeper from intermediate to advanced levels of practice.
You will discover Subtle Alignments of every asana with its variations, techniques and tips to practice, which are explored daily in Asana Clinic. As a skilled Hatha Yoga Teacher, you should know the safe practices as well as different levels of teaching the same asanas.
Exploring, practising and getting experience in the Art of Hands-on Adjustments is also essential. These Hands-on Adjustments can enhance your understanding of asanas and the teaching of Hatha Yoga.
You will also be working on building your Self Practice, as this is one of the aspects yoga teachers lack. You will work on the building, tasting the personal practice of Hatha Yoga, the foundation of a Hatha Yoga Teacher.
Build your Self Practice
Practising and teaching go hand in hand. The more you practice, the better your teaching will be. As you evolve as a Hatha Yoga Teacher, building your personal practice gets harder.
During Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, we focus on building your self-practice of Hatha Yoga. It involves how to prepare for self-practices and how to find progress in your personal journey of Hatha Yoga Practice.
The Making of a Hatha Yoga Teacher
It is not sufficient if you practice Traditional Hatha Yoga well.
It is also not sufficient if you know the philosophy of Yoga or even how to teach the asanas.
If you know how to create your own Hatha Yoga Class sequences, then you are a refined Hatha Yoga Teacher.
We discuss the dos & and don’ts of creating Hatha Yoga class sequences, work on the timing of them, find the modifications if required and so on. This is one of the essentials for you on the path to becoming a Yoga Teacher.
The Art of Hands - on Adjustments
It is an important aspect of exploring the skeleton of asanas. As you assist and adjust someone, you will be able to understand the techniques, different body types etc.
It enhances your understanding of asanas in a deeper way. Hands-on Adjustment is an art.
During the training, you will be working on every asana with regards to “how to practice, subtle techniques, modifications, the art of hands-on Adjustments” etc.
Yoga Anatomy
A skilled Yoga Teacher will know how the human body moves and what would be the impact of the movement. If Yoga is a balance between movement and stability, understanding the human system is the foundation for it.
You may not need to know the name of every muscle, but the concepts, systems and methodology of the practice are a must. Yoga Anatomy sessions are focusing on the safe, proper practice of asana and pranayama with a fundamental understanding of Yoga Anatomy.
Teach to Learn
Method of being a Life long student
You become a better Hatha Yoga Teacher when you keep your student within, alive and afresh.
You become a better student when you teach. During the training, you will be teaching every day from Day 2 under the guidance of the Lead Teacher.
As you teach, you will have more questions. The more you find questions, your knowledge of Yoga practice gets firm. This is the foundation of finding the Yoga Teacher within.
Learn & Teach Pranayama, Meditation
Pranayamas are always the underrated, most needed part of the practice.
Most often, we do not know how to practice, or we may not have built the taste of regular practice. During the training, we strive to inculcate the regular practice of Pranayama so that it becomes a part of your daily routine.
You will also be required to teach Pranayama. The more you teach, the better your practice will be. It allows you to get a more equipped Hatha Yoga Teacher.
Ayurveda for Yoga Teachers
Ayurveda is an important subject for you as a Yoga practitioner. Starting from understanding body types (Doshas i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha) to the kinds of food that you might want to avoid, Ayurveda has a lot to offer for the Yoga practice journey.
A proper understanding (of course, it is just an introduction in teacher training) of Ayurveda will enhance your knowledge of students, their body types and how to get better with our yoga journey. Dr Meghana Narayana (An Ayurveda Doctor - MD in Ayurveda Samhita) will guide you into Ayurveda sessions during this training.

Yoga Philosophy
Yoga Darshana studies
Yoga Philosophy is very fascinating. But when presented/taught bad, it seems boring.
During the training, we discuss Yoga Philosophy not as information, but how it can be implemented in daily life.
It is very transformative to dig the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Chakras, Nadis & Koshas etc.
If you are interested in deepening the practice and possibly planning to take this passion of teaching Hatha Yoga as your profession, this course is for you.
Even if you are not interested in taking this teaching Hatha Yoga as a profession, Hatha Yoga Teacher Training can still be a good idea as it offers a complete immersion into the practice & teaching of Hatha Yoga.
