Choosing your 300 Hours Yoga TTC

Once you completed the 200 Hours Yoga TTC, you would most likely be looking for a 300 Hours Yoga TTC to further your studies.  You may either take the 300 hours Yoga TTC from the same yoga school or from a different school with different styles and tradition from where you have taken your 200 Hours Yoga TTC.

Students who change yoga schools for their 300 Hours Yoga TTC may experience some adjustment period.  Different yoga schools design their 200 Hours Yoga TTC curriculum in various different ways such as the difference in asana styles, yoga tradition, selection of class contents, focused subjects throughout the training, depth of each content covered in each class, even the same practices may be taught slightly differently.   Many 200 Hours Yoga TTC focuses on asana practices and much less on yoga philosophy and yoga anatomy, as students are more attracted toward physically-oriented trainings rather than a holistic yoga studies that allocates training hours for yoga philosophy, yoga anatomy, meditation, yoga nidra or other subtler practices that works with the mind and emotions.

During the 300 Hours Yoga TTC at our school, some may find that they have touched based on several topics during their 200 Hours Yoga TTC in previous school, while other students find that they never heard of many topics or was never introduced to several basic practices that is integrated with different practices at a more advanced level in the 300 Hours Yoga TTC, resulting in difficulty following some practices.  This varies depending on each student’s yoga backgrounds.  Therefore, it is important to understand the possible differences you may experience between different yoga schools and to keep an open-mind and be patient while going through your 300 Hours Yoga TTC at a selected yoga school.

Alvin Rangel / January 2020300 Hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh, India
“Great option” I had a wonderful experience. I enjoyed the teachers; they made themselves available to talk and discuss after classes; taught from embodied experience; treated all students with respect; were knowledgeable, passionate and experienced. The course had a strong focus on philosophy, anatomy and meditation which was perfect for me. To get the most out of the training I would consider having a regular asana practice, curiosity and a desire to deepening your personal practice. The food was very good. They planned trips to temples on our days off. Many students came with strong expectations, but it’s important to keep an open mind and allow yourself to surrender to the schedule, classes, format, etc. You will gain valuable information and grow from the experience. There is always room for improvements, but I was VERY happy during my 300-Hour training. I would recommend this school. Lastly, a plus was that the school was located in a quiet area in Rishikesh, so it’s peaceful at nights and mornings.
