200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh

At Arogya Yoga School, our Yoga Philosophy classes help participants learn more about Yoga through engaging discussions about its history and development. These sessions shape the Yogi's mindset, giving them a better understanding of themselves and the world. This improves their awareness of thoughts, feelings, and the journey to happiness. We use the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, written by the founder of yoga, as a basis for these discussions. Every Friday, students lead conversations based on that week's readings. Philosophy is an essential part of Yoga practice.

The Human Body is truly astounding and sometimes overwhelming. The external structure houses an immense network of internal organs which constitute what makes us, us. The outcome of learning this subject is that the Yogi can discern the various nuances of the human body in a more enriched fashion.

Meditation is a technique that centers on directing one's thoughts to attain clarity of mind, emotional serenity, and bodily ease. With origins in ancient cultures, this practice seeks to cultivate mindfulness and concentration, helping people find equilibrium and tranquility within themselves. It is commonly employed to alleviate stress, improve concentration, and foster holistic health.

This practice helps clear the mind, heal emotions, and promote spiritual growth.
