Onsite Yoga Teacher Training
Train at our campus in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Course Overview
The Intensive Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course (Basic to Intermediate Level) at Andiappan Yoga School offers a comprehensive immersion into the traditional and scientific aspects of Hatha Yoga. Tailored for dedicated practitioners, this curriculum moves beyond standard posture mechanics to explore the physiological and philosophical roots of the practice.
Students will undergo systematic training in the Andiappan Yoga Basic Series, mastering 34 foundational to intermediate asanas with a focus on alignment, breath synchronization, and injury prevention. Unlike generic training, this course places a heavy emphasis on Yogic Anatomy and Physiology, examining the subtle body (Chakras, Koshas, Nadis) alongside modern musculoskeletal safety. This dual approach ensures graduates can teach with medical precision while honoring the energetic principles of the discipline.
A defining feature of this program is its scholarly integration of Yogic Literature. We move past surface-level theory to study Thirumoolar's Thirumandiram and the ethical precepts of Thirukkural, providing students with a rich historical context rarely offered in modern courses. Whether your goal is to teach professionally or deepen your personal sadhana, this course provides the discipline, knowledge, and certification required to advance your journey in the Andiappan lineage.
