Teacher training

Taught by someone the board also lets examine.

A YCB Level 3 certification from the AYUSH Ministry covers two things: teaching, and evaluating other teachers. Dhriti Yog holds both.

The course

Two hundred hours, in the classical line.

The syllabus follows Ashtang Yog and goes into the texts rather than around them — the Bhagavad Gita, Sankhya Yog, and the Yog Sutras of Sage Patanjali. Practice sits alongside Bhavas, Ritu Charya and Din Charya.

It is a working teacher's course. Alignment, biomechanics, Yog Nidra and therapeutic practice are taught because a graduate will need them in week one, not because they complete a list.

Where it has been taught

Ladakh, and the services.

Who it suits

People who intend to teach.

Practitioners ready to take responsibility for a room. Studio teachers who want the classical grounding their first certification skipped. Instructors inside institutions — defence, education, government — who will be teaching their own people.

Courses run as residential blocks in the Himalayas and in Ladakh, and on request for an institution.
