What You’ll Learn
Strong Foundation in Asana & Alignment
Deep dive into Hatha Yoga postures with a focus on alignment and anatomy (inspired by Iyengar techniques). Build strength, flexibility, and injury-free form. Explore additional styles like Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative, and the basics of Ashtanga to broaden your practice.
Pranayama & Meditation
Start each day with pranayama (breathwork) and guided meditation. Learn techniques from calming Yoga Nidra to energizing Kapalbhati, and understand how breath control transforms your mind and body. Develop a personal meditation practice to carry home with you.
Yoga Philosophy & Spiritual Wisdom
Study the wisdom of classical texts – Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads – and learn how to apply yogic philosophy in daily life. Understand concepts of Samkhya philosophy, the 8 Limbs of Yoga, karma theory (Jain Darshana), and more. These insights will deepen your perspective far beyond the physical practice.
Ayurveda & Yogic Lifestyle
Get introduced to the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda. Determine your dosha (Prakriti) through consultations, and learn nutrition & lifestyle tips for yogis. We incorporate Ayurvedic cooking principles in our meals and teach you how to maintain balance off the mat.
Nada Yoga (Sound Healing) & Mantra
A unique highlight of our course – immerse in the yoga of sound. You’ll practice mantra chanting (including the sacred AUM), explore Indian classical music as a form of meditation, and even participate in kirtan evenings. These sound vibrations elevate your consciousness and are powerful tools to use in your teaching.
Teaching Methodology & Practicum
Step-by-step, we turn practitioners into confident teachers. You’ll learn how to structure classes, give safe adjustments, use props effectively, and communicate with clarity and compassion. Throughout the course, you’ll teach mini-classes to your peers, receive feedback, and refine your skills. By graduation, you will have taught a full class and gained the confidence to lead others. Remember, becoming a good practitioner and sharing the knowledge revealed through self practice is the way to become a great teacher.
Anatomy & Physiology
Understand the human body in motion. Our anatomy modules (taught in an interactive way) cover key systems, alignment principles, common injuries and modifications. Learn bio-mechanics of asanas, the role of breath and bandhas, and how to practice and teach safely for all body types.
Additional Workshops
To enrich your journey, we include special sessions like Yoga Nidra deep relaxations, mudra and bandha practices, basic Sanskrit lessons (to grasp mantra meanings and proper pronunciation), and even an introduction to yogic cleansing kriyas (like jal neti). It’s truly a 360° training.
By the end of this program, you’ll have a solid foundation in yoga theory and practice, a deep understanding of yourself, and the credentials to teach worldwide as a Yoga Alliance RYT-200.

Reviews & Ratings
Words from our Students
ShivamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing teacher Melina TraubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a wonderful and enriching time here! I joined the drop-in classes, and from the very first session, I could feel that Darshan Ji is an exceptional teacher with deep knowledge and a true passion for yoga. His alignment-based teaching completely transformed the way I experience the practice — instead of just moving through the asanas, I started to really feel them in my body and understand their purpose. Within only a few days, I noticed incredible progress and felt my practice deepen in ways I hadn’t expected. What made the classes so special was not just Darshan Ji’s clear and detailed guidance, but also his personal attention to each student. He always took the time to give thoughtful adjustments, helping everyone find the right alignment for their body. Even when the classes were full, there were always enough props, and he made sure no one was left behind. The whole school has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere — everyone is so kind and supportive, it really feels like a small community or family. Darshan Ji even took time after the drop in classes and throughout the day to answer my questions, share personal tips, and help me understand how to continue improving my practice. I’m so grateful for this experience and for everything I learned here. It was a truly inspiring and transformative time, and I can’t wait to come back soon. Thank you for everything! 🙏 Ashna VersluisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really wonderful time at Prakruti Yogashala. I didn’t have much experience with yoga when I arrived, and on top of that, I had a few physical limitations. However, the teachers (Darshan and Ajay) had such a deep understanding of the asanas and body alignment that I was able to do poses I never imagined I could — and without pain! Darshan was very engaged with all the students and led the classes with a perfect balance of discipline and humor. I’m sad to be back home and not able to attend their classes anymore. Hopefully one day again :) Thank you so much! Pierre CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great class, great teacher. I attended to an Iyengar based course and helped a lot realigning lower back Fiona RichardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended Darshan Ji’s Hatha Alignment drop-in classes for two months, and it truly transformed both my yoga practice and my relationship with yoga itself. From the very first class, I felt that Darshan Ji teaches from a place of deep wisdom, experience, and genuine care. His approach is beautifully balanced — structured and disciplined, yet always compassionate and patient. He sees each student as an individual, and his guidance is both precise and deeply intuitive. After several years of practicing in ways that were too intense and often unconscious, I had developed habits that limited my progress and connection to my body. Through his teaching, I learned to slow down, to feel, and to rebuild my practice from the inside out. Darshan helped me rediscover control, balance, and awareness in my postures, while giving me a much clearer understanding of the biomechanics behind the asanas. These two months were profoundly educational and also very healing. My body awareness has completely shifted, and this new sense of connection is something I will carry with me throughout the rest of my yogic journey. I am deeply grateful for his guidance and the lasting impact it has had on my practice and on me as a person. Krishna SharmaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing experience. The Atmosphere, the people and the community. Highly recommended. Thank you Darshanji Feiko De BruinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darshan Ji showed me more in a week than many other teachers did in years. His knowledge patience and sense of humour were wonderful. When I get back to Rishikesh it will be for a large part for Darshan to teach me more. Tanja LeimenstollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
