Yoga Teacher Training Curriculum 100 Hour & 200 Hour
This page explains how the yoga teacher training curriculum is structured at Fitfortunes Holistic Wellness Yoga School in Rishikesh. Students first build a foundation in Hatha Yoga, breath, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, and teaching basics. The 100 hour course gives the base. The 200 hour course gives deeper study and more teaching practice.
One clear foundation. Different levels of depth.
The base of this curriculum is traditional Hatha Yoga. Students learn asana, pranayama, meditation, kriya, mantra, yoga philosophy, subtle anatomy, teaching methodology, and practicum.
The 100 hour course is a shorter foundation. It is suitable for students who want structured learning, personal practice, and basic teaching understanding.
The 200 hour course expands the same foundation with more practice time, deeper philosophy, more methodology, and stronger teaching confidence.
The Multi-Style training follows the same Hatha foundation and adds Vinyasa Flow, breath-led movement, transitions, rhythm, and sequencing.
Practice first, then understanding, then teaching.
The curriculum is not built only for information. It is built so students can experience yoga, understand what they are practicing, and then learn how to guide others with safety and clarity.
Practice
Students begin with regular asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and discipline so yoga becomes real through experience.
Understand
Students study alignment, anatomy, subtle body, yoga philosophy, and the purpose behind traditional practice.
Teach
Students learn class structure, voice, cueing, observation, sequencing, correction, and feedback through guided practice.
Main Study Areas in the Yoga Teacher Training
These study areas form the base of both 100 hour and 200 hour training. The difference is not the direction of study. The difference is the time, depth, practice, and teaching experience.
Postures, alignment, stability, mobility, correction, and mindful transitions.
Breath awareness and traditional breathing practices for steadiness and focus.
Sitting practice, self-observation, concentration, mantra, and relaxation.
Yoga history, Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, discipline, and self-study.
Kosha, chakra, nadi, bandha, breath, and traditional yogic physiology.
Cueing, sequencing, observation, demonstration, classroom presence, and safety.
Practice teaching, feedback, class planning, observation, and confidence building.
Daily routine, food awareness, discipline, rest, study, and mindful living.

Where Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training Fits

What changes is the movement layer. Vinyasa Flow helps students understand transitions, rhythm, breath-led movement, creative sequencing, and how to guide dynamic classes safely.
What Multi-Style Adds
Vinyasa Flow, movement coordination, breath-led transitions, rhythm, class sequencing, and dynamic practice while keeping the Hatha foundation strong.

Things Students Should Know
This is a structured yoga training, not a holiday retreat. Students are expected to attend classes, follow the daily schedule, take notes, practice regularly, and participate in discussions and practicum.
The training environment is supportive, but it also requires discipline. Some days feel easy. Some days feel demanding. This is normal in a serious residential yoga training.
