200 Hours YTTC Program Sessions Schedule & Progression
Our 200 hours Yoga TTC is a 25 days residential training program conducted in Rishikesh. You are required to arrive and settle on the day of check-in before noon. The program starts in the evening of the day of check-in with a Vedic ceremony where we perform a purification ritual using fire and chanting of Sanskrit mantras. This is also an opportunity for everyone to meet, teachers as well as participants, and get a briefing on what to expect in the program.
During the 24 days that follow, sessions are held everyday from morning to evening except for Sundays. A typical yoga student’s day starts at 6:00 am and ends at 9:00 pm at Ekattva Yogshala. Sundays are spent for relaxation, excursions and personal learning. The program ends on the 24th day with another thanksgiving ceremony and distribution of certificates. You can check out the next morning from the day of closing ceremony.
Vedic Mantras & Ceremonies
Vedic ceremonies are a part of Yogic experience in Rishikesh. Vedic Hawan on the day of training inception, training completion, and on significant days as per Hindu calendar are a regular feature.
