Learn from The Best

At Yog Niketan Dham, we understand and value the importance of great teachers. We believe that only excellent mentors have the ability to craft great students who evolve into being great yoga teachers themselves.

This is why in 200 hrs yoga teacher training, our students are given an opportunity to train under supremely skilled yoga teachers, who are not only holders of graduate and post-graduate degrees in Yoga Sciences but are also registered with Yoga Alliance.

Our revered gurus have been practised and taught their specific fields for years and are known to have a proven track record in not only teaching yoga but also in honing the teaching skills of each student.

We understand that every teacher can be great at imparting education, but it takes extraordinary skills to teach someone to be a teacher.

Hence, our teachers take extra concern towards ensuring that the students not only learn the aspects of yoga that they could implement in their daily life but also train to become mentors if they choose to.
