Our teachers pay great attention to the right alignment and explanation of postures. Benefits, contraindications and adjustments are discussed for each asana.
Modification of Breath
The Breath is the key to yoga. When we are angry, we breathe fast. When we are relaxed, we breathe slower. Through conscious modification of our breathing pattern, we can remove negative thought patterns and enter into a state of peace and positivity. During your Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga India Foundation, you will be introduced to various transformational breathing techniques.

Through secret meditation practises and alternative healing treatments, you will remove toxins, emotional pain and past trauma from your body and mind.

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India
Cathy Pow
You won’t believe what’s possible in one month. This place represents love, unity, growth and the real yogi lifestyle. Feeling beyond grateful for all the memories, challenges, support and wisdom that was passed on to me. A huge thank you to Bipin, Anki, Dharma and Girish for always being there for me and making me feel welcome and at home. Joining the 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training taught me about the beauty of creating union with myself, mind and body. I learnt special techniques on how to remove stress, stiffness and tension which I can take home and share with my students. The food cooked for us was so delicious, it was pure, sattvic and energizing. I felt better every day. A big thanks to Dr Vipul Arya as well for teaching me about Ayurveda, my body type and how to maintain it in balance. I am drinking my pitta tea everyday. If you are looking for the right yoga school, go with what feels right. For me, choosing Yoga India Foundation, was the best choice I could have ever wished for. I totally recommend this place.

500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India
Laura Fuchs
Yoga India Foundation was one of the three yoga schools that I originally picked. I somehow chose it because of the familiar and individual teaching approach and energy. After arrival, I felt immediately at ease. The ashram is very beautiful and sourrounded by the Himalaya mountains. My room was clean and cosy. I had a balcony and my own bathroom. My 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training took almost eight weeks. It was a long and valuable time for me. All teachers and staff were very caring and kind to me at any time. I learnt all about different asanas, meditation techniques, yogic cleasing, pranayama and ayurveda. I could have never imagined that it is possible to learn so much in such a short time. I came to India after graduating from bachelor’s degree. I feel like I learnt more about myself in those two months than in the the past 3 years. I can highly recommend the 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga India Foundation if you want to develop yourself further and grow mentally, physically and spiritually. I believe that this is the foundation of becoming a good yoga teacher.Foundation is a well-established yoga ashram with excellent course content and a warm hearted
energy.
