Course Curriculum – Adiyogam Yoga Teacher Training in Goa
Our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Goa follows a comprehensive and internationally recognized curriculum, designed to provide a strong foundation in both the theory and practice of yoga.
Hatha Yoga
Students will be introduced to the core principles of Hatha Yoga, including its historical roots, purpose, and relevance in modern practice. The practice begins with Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) performed with mantra awareness, setting the tone for mindful movement and breath coordination. This is followed by Sukshma Vyayama—a series of subtle joint and gland exercises that enhance circulation, flexibility, and energy flow.
The asana practice is structured progressively and includes:
- Standing postures for strength, grounding, and balance
- Kneeling and seated asanas to develop flexibility and stability
- Prone (lying on the stomach) postures to activate the spine and internal organs
- Supine (lying on the back) series for core strength and relaxation
- Inversions, introduced safely, to improve circulation and mental clarity
Throughout the training, emphasis is placed on alignment, breath awareness, and mindful transitions. Each posture is studied in detail, including its physical, mental, and energetic benefits, as well as contraindications to ensure safe and effective practice for all body types and experience levels.
Vinyasa Yoga
The Vinyasa Yoga classes at Adiyogam, introduces students to a dynamic, breath-led style of yoga practice that emphasizes fluid movement, energetic flow, and creative sequencing.
Vinyasa yoga connects asana (postures) in a smooth, continuous flow guided by Ujjayi breath and intelligent transitions. This style not only builds strength and flexibility but also develops mental focus, stamina, and a meditative rhythm in practice.
Students will learn the foundational structure of Vinyasa sequencing, beginning with how to warm up the body safely and effectively, followed by standing flows, balancing series, backbends, twists, core integration, and cooling postures. Special attention is given to:
- Surya Namaskar variations as the basis of flow
- Linking breath with movement (vinyasa krama)
- Creative transitions between postures
- Using modifications and props for all levels
Adjustment & Alignment (Iyengar-Based Approach)
This training places strong emphasis on Adjustment and Alignment, inspired from the Iyengar yoga methodology, to help students develop a safe, intelligent, and sustainable asana practice. Through this approach, students learn to cultivate precision, stability, and body awareness in every posture, making it a vital component of both personal development and teaching skill.
With the use of props like blocks, straps, bolsters, chairs, and walls, these sessions in our yoga teacher training help the students to explore the functional alignment of asanas, understand body mechanics, and discover how subtle changes can lead to deeper activation and release. This module covers:
- Verbal cues and physical adjustments for different bodies
- Understanding skeletal vs. muscular alignment
- Techniques to offer safe hands-on assistance
- Posture corrections and therapeutic modifications
- Build stamina, discipline, and depth in static holds
- How to build alignment-based class sequences
Pranayama (Yogic Breathwork)
The course of Pranayama begins with a clear understanding of the difference between chest breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, helping students shift into more conscious, nourishing breath patterns. You’ll gain insight into the meaning of Prana (vital life force) and Pranayama (its regulation and expansion), as explained in yogic philosophy.
The training also covers the energetic anatomy behind the breath, introducing students to the concepts of Nadis (energy channels), including Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, and how breathwork helps to balance these subtle energy flows.
Through theory and guided daily practice, students learn and experience traditional pranayama techniques, including:
- Kapalabhati (cleansing breath)
- Bhastrika (bellows breath)
- Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)
- Ujjayi (victorious breath)
- Sheetali and Sheetkari (cooling breaths)
- Bhramari (humming bee breath)
Each practice is explored in depth—its technique, physiological and energetic effects, benefits, and contraindications, along with how to teach it responsibly in a class setting.
Meditation
At Adiyogam, we believe Meditation is at the heart of the yogic path, offering a gateway to inner stillness, clarity, and self-awareness. In this training, students will explore what meditation truly is, beyond the common misconceptions, and how it supports the deeper dimensions of yoga practice. The module introduces the classical framework of meditation as taught in yogic philosophy—explaining the difference between Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditative absorption), and how both play a role in developing a steady, focused mind.
Students will be introduced to a variety of meditation techniques suitable for different temperaments and goals, including:
- Breath Awareness Meditation – observing the natural breath as a tool for calming the mind
- Mantra Awareness Meditation – using sound and vibration to focus and energize consciousness
- Candle Gazing (Trataka) and Inner Light Visualization – developing inner clarity, focus, and intuitive perception
The practice is supported by gentle guidance on posture, mental preparation, and stages of meditative experience, along with tips on how to overcome common challenges such as restlessness or distraction.
Yoga Philosophy
The Yoga Philosophy module in our 200 Hour YTTC introduces students to the timeless wisdom that forms the spiritual and intellectual foundation of yoga. This module explores key philosophical texts and teachings that help practitioners understand yoga as a way of life and not just a practice on the mat.
Students will delve into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, The Bhagavad Geeta —offering a practical path to self-discipline, ethical living, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening.
Rather than purely academic, these teachings are delivered through interactive discussions and guided reflection, allowing students to apply ancient wisdom to modern living.
Mantra Chanting
Mantra Chanting is an integral part of traditional yogic practice, helping to purify the mind, open the heart, and elevate consciousness. During the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, students are introduced to Mantra Yoga, the path of union through sacred sound vibrations. Through repetition (japa) and collective chanting, mantras help calm mental chatter, deepen focus, and connect practitioners with the subtle energies of the universe.
The course begins with an understanding of the origin, vibrational science, and spiritual significance of mantras, including the universal syllable OM (AUM)—representing the sound of creation and the essence of all yogic wisdom.
Students will learn and practice a selection of powerful Sanskrit mantras, including:
- Opening and Closing Class Mantras
- Ganesh Mantra – for removing obstacles and grounding energy
- Guru Mantra – to honor the lineage and invoke the wisdom of universal masters
- Mantras for Wellbeing and Peace (Shanti Mantras)
Chanting is accompanied by correct pronunciation, rhythm, and meaning, ensuring students gain both experiential and intellectual understanding. Whether used in personal meditation or group teaching, mantras serve as a powerful tool for intention-setting, inner transformation, and spiritual connection.
Teaching Methodology
The Teaching Methodology classes are very important part of our yoga teacher training in India. It is designed to equip the students with the essential tools to teach confidently, ethically, and effectively.
This module covers the topics like disciplines and responsibilities of yoga teachers and students, which are followed in the traditional yoga ashrams in India.
Key teaching components include:
- The importance of demonstration, observation, and verbal cues
- Classroom readiness and teacher preparation—including energy, space setup, and intention-setting
- Sequencing techniques for different styles, levels, and class types
- How to describe and deliver practices, using accurate, supportive language and intuitive pacing
- Lesson planning strategies, including how to build progressive learning over multiple sessions
This module ensures that every graduate leaves with a solid foundation in both professional teaching skills and the inner confidence to share yoga authentically.
Shat Kriyas (Yogic Cleansing Techniques)
As per the Hatha Yoga tradition, the Shat Kriyas are six essential purification techniques designed to cleanse the internal systems of the body and prepare the practitioner for higher yogic practices. As outlined in classical texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, these kriyas are not merely physical detox tools—they are foundational to balancing the doshas, clearing energy blockages, and enhancing the flow of prana (life force) throughout the body.
As part of the course, students will engage in guided practicum of Jal Neti and Sutra Neti:
- Jal Neti – nasal cleansing with warm saline water to remove mucus, pollutants, and sinus blockages
- Sutra Neti – a more advanced technique using a soft thread or rubber catheter to further clear nasal passages and stimulate energy flow
These practices are taught with detailed guidance, including safety precautions, hygiene protocols, benefits, and contraindications.
Yogic Anatomy: Skeletal System & Joint Health
Understanding anatomy is essential for practicing and teaching yoga safely and intelligently. This section focuses on the skeletal system and joint anatomy, helping students build a strong anatomical foundation that enhances both their personal practice and teaching methodology.
The curriculum includes practical knowledge on:
- How yoga postures affect different joints
- Safe range of motion and alignment principles
- Techniques to protect joints and avoid injury during asana practice
Special Workshops & Immersive Experiences
To complement the traditional yoga teacher training and deepen your journey, our program includes a series of enriching special workshops designed to expand your perspective on movement, healing, and self-awareness. These experiential sessions at Adiyogam allow you to explore diverse modalities that integrate beautifully with yoga, making your practice and teaching more dynamic and well-rounded.

Why Combining Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga Creates the Ideal
200-Hour Teacher Training
At Adiyogam, we believe that a truly balanced yoga teacher training integrates both structure and flow of Yoga —and that’s exactly what the combination of Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga offers.
Hatha Yoga, a classical Indian Yoga, emphasizes slow, mindful movement, breath awareness, and static postures—laying a solid foundation in alignment, body awareness, and disciplined practice. On the other hand, Vinyasa Yoga brings in a dynamic, creative, and breath-synchronized flow that helps practitioners build stamina, flexibility, and graceful transitions.
By learning both styles together, students gain a well-rounded understanding of yoga—from traditional asana discipline to modern, fluid sequencing. This dual approach enhances not only your personal practice but also equips you with the tools to teach diverse student groups with intelligent class sequencing.
- Stable Foundation + Dynamic Flow
- Mental Stillness to Cardiovascular Strength
- Adaptability for all Body types and all Levels
- Empowered Personal Yoga Practice
- Multi-style Teaching Skills
- Clarity, Confidence & Creativity
