Yoga is a practical, scientific system that brings about harmony in your inner world, from where it radiates into your interaction with others and your relationship with Nature.
Our Yoga Vana Teacher Training Course is an empowering learning journey in the Sivananda Yoga tradition for you to reconnect to your True Nature and, as a result, experience health and peace of mind, skillfulness in your personal interactions and a deepened awareness for your interconnection with the natural world.
Based on your intensive self-practice, the Teacher Training supports you in sharing the yogic tools with others, from your own experience and in your own words, while standing on the shoulders of a thousand year old lineage of teachers.
Training Tracks at Yoga Vana
At Yoga Vana, we currently offer two levels of training:
Our 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training is the foundational course to deepen your self-practice and start teaching yoga to others.
Our 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training is an advanced training for those who have already graduated from a 200 hour program and wish to deepen their own practice and teaching abilities.

Teaching Team
Our teaching team combines a wealth of experience in all aspects of the yoga system.
Mani Raman, lead teacher at Yoga Vana, has trained thousands of yoga teachers over the past 20 years in the Sivananda Yoga tradition.
In each Yoga Teacher Training Course, the core teaching team is supported by resource persons from all over India to give you a complete and in-depth learning experience - from classical yogic science and practice in all paths of yoga (bhakti, raja, karma, jnana) to contemporary neuro-scientific research on happiness, empathy and mindfulness.
CERTIFICATION
Participants will be assessed throughout the course and need to pass a final written exam in order to receive the certificate which allows them to register with Yoga Alliance as an internationally recognized Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200 or RYT 500, respectively).
“To become wider and deeper and more inclusive in one’s being and consciousness is the aim of Yoga and this is the goal of human life.”
