Frequently Asked Questions: 200 Hour Online Yoga Teacher Training

  • Anyone willing to learn yoga step by step
  • Practitioners ready to take the next level in their practice
  • Students easing the transition before a full-time academic programme
  • Anyone who simply enjoys learning a new topic
  • Whatever the reason, our online course is a flexible way to study without disrupting daily life

200 YTTC is the first level and 300 YTTC is the advanced course. To register your certificate with Yoga Alliance you must complete the 200 YTTC first.

You need basic English to comfortably attend our yoga course. At least 6 months of prior yoga practice is recommended, though beginners with a sincere intention are also welcome.

No worries. You have up to six months to complete the course at your own pace, with full access to recordings and study materials.

After certification, create an account on the Yoga Alliance website, follow their registration steps and upload your certificate. They verify with us and once approved you can pay the Yoga Alliance fee and register as RYT-200.

  • All course videos are streamed through our online learning platform, play any module one by one and study at your own pace
  • Every module stays in your library for the full year, so you can replay any class as often as you need
  • We add every enrolled student to a private WhatsApp group so the teaching team can resolve doubts directly

The curriculum runs to roughly 25 days at the suggested pace, but nothing expires when you reach the end of it: every module stays open for your full year of access, so you can take longer or revisit any class.

The course is self-paced rather than batch-based, so you are not placed in a cohort at all: you start the day you enrol and work through the modules on your own schedule. Students from over 100 countries have taken our online trainings, and the community.

Surprisingly well, after a year of online teaching to 1,500+ students worldwide we have seen that the online format genuinely works for serious practice. You stay in the comfort of your home, practise on familiar mats, and the teaching depth is undiluted. The modules are filmed close-up with detailed alignment cues, and because everything is recorded you can revisit any concept as often as you need.

A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a stable internet connection is enough. Headphones help for the chanting and pranayama modules, and a little floor space for your mat is all the setup you need.

Every class is pre-recorded, so a few days away from your studies are no problem. Resume whenever you can and complete the course within your six-month or one-year window.

All textbooks and manuals are provided as e-books inside your student portal. You do not need to buy anything extra; if a teacher recommends a specific book you may choose to purchase it on your own.

Yes. Students who genuinely need assistance can reach out to our team directly and we will discuss flexible options on a case-by-case basis.

There are no refunds for online course fees once paid. Please review our schedule, programme and student feedback carefully before booking. There is no fixed intake to catch or postpone: you can start whenever suits you and work at your own pace.

You can register at any time. If you plan to start teaching yoga, the sooner you complete and certify the more confident you will be in your professional path.

We Follow

The 5000 Years Old Yoga Tradition of The Himalayan Masters

Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan masters and saints who lived in the cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The teaching lineage stretches back nearly 5,000 years and includes Agastya Muni, Patanjali, Siddha Bhogar, Mahavatar Babaji, Bengali Baba, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and his student Swami Veda Bharati. This tradition was practiced for centuries without a single name. We refer to it simply as the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.

Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi, the founder of Samadhi Yoga Ashram, is a student of Swami Veda Bharati. Who was, in turn, a student of Swami Rama. Through this unbroken teacher-student chain, the practical methods of pranayama, meditation, kriya and yoga philosophy have been transmitted from one generation to the next without being diluted by trend.

Although yoga has roots in Hindu culture, it is not a religion. The Himalayan path is open to anyone, regardless of religion, language or nationality. What it asks of you is sincerity, regularity, and willingness to learn from a teacher. The classical teacher-student relationship is still the foundation of how we work.

The ashram teaches the full eight-limbed path of yoga: including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga. A central instruction of the Himalayan tradition is "to be free of fear, become aware of the reality within." The work is practical, daily, and grounded, not abstract, not religious, not performative.
