Yoga, in its own right, is a specific discipline that takes moments to adopt, and yet, decades to master. In a spiritual hub like Rishikesh, frequented by citizens of countries spread far and wide, yoga has found the perfect niche to flourish and spread its ancient roots in. Foreigners arrive from their developed nations and are immediately enthralled by the wonderful mysticism of the ‘Indian version of aerobics’, or so they believe. With time and patience however, and a changing sense of what’s possible, they come to learn that yoga is so much more.

The western world, since the Renaissance, has had its beliefs firmly rooted in science and anything that could be proposed in a journal and consequently proven by a team of scientists. However, as the practice of yoga came to light, westerners soon realized that the feats performed by devout master yogis had no logical explanation in science. The number of tourists flocking to Rishikesh whose sole purpose is to learn more about yoga, goes up every year.

To cope with this increasing demand, numerous training centers have opened up in the city that offer customized packages, like, 100 hour yoga teacher training Rishikesh. Furthermore, these places hire licensed personal trainers, which is beneficial because –

  • Their sole purpose is to craft a workout according to their client, and, since it is yoga they are working on, a time table is created which goes from simple asanas to complex ones as time passes.
  • The trainer realizes what is best for you and structures the session accordingly.
  • He or she does not simply make you jump through hoops as yoga has always been about more than just exercising your muscles.

The individual is taught a variety of sub disciplines within yoga, like –

  1. The art of relaxation – After going through a series of asanas, say, the Surya Namaskar, yogis tend to relax their body completely. This helps rest the muscles and prepare them for the next pose.
  2. Meditation – Well-being of the mind is just as important as well being of the body, and meditating using the chakra technique has been shown to have marked improvements in one’s mental health.
  3. How to focus your attention – Many poses, if done carelessly, may result in severe bodily harm. Which is why compete concentration is required while performing the asana.

With packages involving daily and monthly goals, people have the choice to opt for whichever timeframe suits them best. Sometimes, the period of stay of tourists is extremely brief and their free time is further restricted to only a couple of hours everyday. In such cases, yoga training centers offer packages like, 100 hour yoga teacher training in rishikesh.

This allows the customer to practice Yoga for as long or short as he or she might wish in one day. They can practice for two hours everyday and carry the session for a little less than two months, or, if they’re free more so than usual, they can easily practice three or even fours a day and then go back to two as long as the final tally remains one hundred hours.
