Overview

Agama’s five-week, 200 HR Yoga Teacher Training Course will empower you with the physical and mental tools to teach a complete Hatha Yoga system in a modern style. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to instruct classes that simultaneously balance the Yang (dynamic) and Yin (restorative) aspects of being.

TTC students will complete a highly specialized, five-week program led by senior teachers that prepares students – physically, mentally and spiritually – to transmit the Agama teachings.

The course is designed for everyone regardless of age, physical ability, or previous experience with Yoga. The pace of the course allows those new to Yoga to easily follow the teachings, while students who already have a Yoga practice will find ample opportunities to deepen their understanding.

The practice and knowledge given in the course will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your physical body, improve your willpower and self-confidence, create healthy new habits, and find emotional balance and inner harmony.

TOOLS FOR SUCCESS

Agama Hatha Yoga is a unique product that sets teachers up for immediate success:

Differentiate Yourself- Agama Hatha Yoga teaches a complete Yoga system that will make you stand apart in a marketplace saturated with studios that typically address only the physical aspects of Yoga.

Integrate Yourself- The Agama Hatha Yoga style provides students with a deeper internal awareness compared to other forms of Yoga, allowing you, as a teacher, to empower them with an enriched, overall Yoga experience.

Custom Products- Upon graduation, you will be presented with two well-structured teaching modules that satisfy the demands of all Yoga practitioners in terms of pace and style: the Agama Dynamic Sadhana and the Agama Meditative Sadhana.

These factors:

• allow you, as a teacher, to create a unique position within any marketplace.
• allow your students the freedom to move between multiple styles of Yoga.
• allow for a greater chance of recurring students and full classes.

Unique Offerings:

In the Agama 200 HR TTC, you will be introduced to two special Hatha Yoga programs: the Agama Dynamic Sadhana and the Agama Meditative Sadhana. These sadhanas are ready-made programs designed specifically to make you successful immediately after your graduation from the program. They are composed of selected teachings from throughout the course.

The Dynamic program focuses on intensity, dynamism, willpower, and energizing, while the Meditative program focuses on relaxation, balancing, deeper practice, and a meditative attitude in Yoga.

The Agama Sadhana programs were designed with the intention of providing our TTC graduates with two high quality programs of specific Hatha Yoga practices, each focusing on meeting a different need of Yoga students around the world.

Business Tools:

Not only will you receive world class teachings of authentic Yoga, but you also get the business tools to set you up for immediate success. Rarely offered in courses elsewhere, in every Agama TTC course you will receive direct business guidance from Agama’s Sales and Marketing Director. A few of the many topics you will learn are branding, networking, negotiating, content marketing, pricing, identifying your unique product/target audience/marketplace, and of course many creative ways on how to create multiple lines of income.

At Agama, we take great care in preparing you to compete and succeed in the real world, as a Yoga teacher that stands apart!

Watch: a sneak peak into the business lecture and training that every Agama Teacher Training Course student gets to take part in.

Upon successful completion of the TTC program, you will not only be a certified Yoga Teacher, but you will also be spiritually empowered to transmit the teachings in the lineage of Agama to students around the world.
