Curriculum Overview
The Tantra Yoga TTC is a structured and immersive journey, divided into three core parts—each reflecting a key dimension of a skilled and spiritually grounded Yoga teacher.
While all parts are taught throughout the course, the first three weeks focus mainly on Personal Transformation and Mastering the Teachings. In weeks four and five, the focus shifts to Becoming the Teacher, with practicum sessions playing a central role.
During practicums, you will lead Hatha Yoga classes and deliver lectures for your peers under teacher supervision. Each session is followed by feedback to refine your skills and teaching presence.
You’ll also complete two theoretical exams—a midterm and a final—designed to test both knowledge and application. The course culminates in a spiritual graduation ceremony and a powerful empowerment meditation.
This TTC also includes the full content of Tantra Yoga Level 1, and upon graduation, you’ll be eligible to continue with Level 2.

No, there is no prerequisite to join our YTTC. Our unique curriculum caters to all levels of students and, in fact, will help you progress spiritually and cultivate a balanced approach to life.
