The Style of Yoga You Will Practise

The types of yoga you will practice in this 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India include Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, Hatha Yoga, and Yin Yoga, with a strong emphasis on alignment, integrity, and mindful movement. Led by Yogacharya Lalit, who began his yoga journey at the age of seven, this training is designed for practitioners who wish to deepen their personal practice and develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills to become inspiring yoga teachers.

At the heart of the programme is our Signature Foundational Practice – a unique methodology developed by Lalit that combines the dynamic flow of Ashtanga Yoga, the precision and therapeutic intelligence of Iyengar Yoga, and the timeless wisdom of Classical Hatha Yoga. Students learn to move with stability, awareness, and breath while cultivating safe alignment, functional strength, flexibility, and embodied confidence.

With over 20 years of international teaching experience, Lalit’s background in Iyengar Yoga enables students to refine every posture through precise alignment, intelligent sequencing, and safe hands-on adjustments. This integrated approach provides a strong anatomical foundation, helping students understand not only how to practise each posture, but also why it is taught in a particular way and how to adapt it for different bodies.
