Meet the team
Got queries? We’ve got answers!

What is special about Heartfulness Yoga?

We dont stop at the body level. We combine postures (asanas), breathwork (Pranayama) and meditation in all our programs. You will be trained and experience the benefits of all the 8 limbs of the ashtanga of Patanjali.


What makes Heartfulness Yoga effective?

The addition of the Heartfulness techniques to a practice on the mat allows you to experience quietness in your body, mind, heart and open your consciousness to the peace that lies within. What makes it effective is the utilisation of 'pranahuti' or transmission, the life force, that is specific to Heartfulness.


Are your classes for beginners or only for regular practitioners?

Everyone can start a practice with Heartfulness - we have programs for all levels, from beginners to professionals. We also offer classes for different age groups. If you need any help to find out what is good for you, contact us.


Can I take an online class?

We offer online classes, workshops and challenges. Check the timings and the content to find what suits you. You can also practice along with the recordings if you live in a different time zone.


Are your yoga teacher training programs valid everywhere?

The Heartfulness Yoga Academy is accredited with Yoga Alliance - which gives you a certificate that is valid in most of the countries of the world and guaranties the quality of our programs. We are also accredited from the Government of India, through the Yoga Certification Board, as Leading Yoga Institution. This means that we can train students at all levels and hold exams for anyone who needs to take yoga as a profession anywhere in India.


How do I know which program is good for me?

For beginners, we will help you to find the right course. Email us at yoga@heartfulness.org

Which Language is the course in?

We offer courses in multiple languages, so please make sure to read the description carefully.

How much time do I need to set aside for the first 6 weeks?

For the first 6 weeks, set aside 1 hour per day for yoga asana practice, 2 hours per week for theory (videos) as well as a few minutes to watch and correct the
common mistakes of selected asanas (videos). We will also ask you to take a simple quiz at the end of each week. The learning of the first 6 weeks will be enhanced by 6 Sunday Webinars of 90 min each where you will practice along with the group and have the support of your Lead Trainer.

How much time do I need to set aside for the last 2 weeks?

For the final two weeks it will be necessary to be online in person with your camera on each day for a full day of group asana practice and meditation, practice teaching, learning and integration. (see schedule ) Some of our courses offer the possibility to do this immersion part on site, in one of our ashram. Check our upcoming courses.

Can I do this program if I don’t want to be a Yoga teacher?

Yes, some people do this program to develop their own practice. Some are already certified but want to integrate meditation into their asana practice and this is what we offer in the Heartfulness Yoga Academy.

What do I need to be certified?

This course awards international recognition with Yoga Alliance. Hence, you need to complete all the 4 parts of this training course to receive the certification:

 
1. Practice of Asana: the Lead Trainer will assess your level of practice during the 8 weeks and your growth.
2. Online attendance all sessions: for online sessions, you need to be online for the full class, active, and with your camera on at all times.
3. Theory of Yoga: will be assessed through regular quizzes as well as a final exam.
4. Teaching Practice: we assess your competence in teaching yoga during immersion phase, through live interactions with the group. Additionally you will present a final teaching project: a 1-hour class that you teach, record and share with us.

What if I fail the exam?

If you have not qualified with all the criteria necessary for this level of certification, you will be allowed to participate without extra charges to the next batch. This is valid for a year after the beginning of the original course. What is the level of certification for this course? Successful completion of this course qualifies you to register with the internationally recognized Yoga Alliance as Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200).

What can I do to prepare myself?

Practice Yoga every day, if possible in a studio so that you are already grounded in your own practice. You are not expected to have read anything to enter the course.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Once paid, the fees cannot be refunded. In the unfortunate case that you are not able to attend a chosen course, you will be allowed to be part of a subsequent program in the 12 months following the beginning of the initial course.

I am interested, what is the next step?

Check with the prerequisite to make sure that it is the right course for you or write to us if you have a doubt about your level in Yoga, we will guide you. You can also check this free courses to get to know your Lead Trainers: Heartfulness Yoga with Amar and Heartfulness Yoga Fundamentals: if you can practice with ease all the asana classes proposed, then you are ready to learn to teach.
