Red Earth Gokarna is the epicenter in a land of spirituality and wellness. Our quaint wellness resort is nestled among the cliffs of Honey Beach, a completely secluded beach. Being shut off from the world outside gives you the perfect opportunity to practice that most ancient form of wellbeing, yoga. Yoga is something that can be flexible or rigorous depending on your approach to it. For those that seek small but significant changes in lifestyle, attending our short yoga or wellness retreats is a wise choice.
But for those that want to take it a step further and immerse yourselves in the science, spending time with a professional yoga teacher and mastering the art over the course of multiple days is what instills in you a love for yoga. It is with this thought that we decided to start our 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Red Earth Gokarna. Our yoga courses cover almost every aspect of the discipline. The yoga gurus that partner with us come with decades of experience and an innate understanding of what goes into teaching for beginners.
Our curriculum for the course is holistic. With the help of Yoga Alliance, an authority when it comes to yoga practices, our yoga teacher training course is also certified internationally. Those that complete the course will receive a certification of their own that can be used to train others. The course, while dealing primarily with yogic studies, also consists of theoretical studies, philosophy, and also deep studies on anatomy and many insights into the human body. When it comes to the certification part, you are also expected to answer assignments and written as well as oral examinations. A 90% attendance is also required for those who wish to receive the certificate from Yoga Alliance UK or USA.
So what does a day in our 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Course look like?
Days start early, of course. You are woken up to the sound of the Arabian sea gently meeting the shores of the honey beach, a secluded beach right below our resort in Gokarna. You will perform a shatkarma, the practice of preparing your body and mind for the day’s sessions. This is followed by a breathing session known as pranayama, and some meditation that lets you introspect in the early hours of the morning. A small break for a refreshing beverage and you can now truly start your day!
Your first asana practice ensues, followed by a unique form of self-discipline known as moving meditation. A hearty yet healthy brunch is waiting for you, and then begin your classes for the day. You’ll be paying rapt attention to the discourse on a philosophy from our teachers and then a session on human anatomy will give you insights into how our body works. There will be some time allotted to study in solitude and then you prepare to practice your asanas, one of the fundamentals of yoga. Throughout the course, you’ll also be guided through the science of mantras along with some notes on teaching so that you can pass on your skills to those who need them most.
The evenings are leisurely, with a session on karma yoga that tells you all about using the skills you have applied in yoga for good. You can then take this time to stroll along Honey beach or go out and explore the other beaches of Gokarna. Or head over to the villages nearby and discover something new in the bylanes!
Overall, our yoga teacher training course is insightful, holistic, and above all things, meant to guide people on the right path to becoming a master of the discipline. And Red Earth Gokarna is the ideal locale to take part in a wholesome course such as this. Away from urban spaces, away from the chaos of the modern world, come find yourself through our teacher training courses at Red Earth Gokarna.
