WHAT MAKES THIS TANTRA YOGA TTC SO SPECIAL?

Our RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training offers you a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of Tantra and Yoga as taught in the ancient traditions of India, Tibet, and China, combined with modern research and insights. We approach Tantra neither as shallow romanticism nor as a license for fornication, but as a precise science of personal development that confronts us with fundamental questions about life and existence. Together, we will enter a wide field of practice, philosophy, mysticism, meditation, and conscious work with creative sexual energy. We aim for holistic sanity, awareness in daily life, a clear present mind and a loving heart, spiritual evolution, and the empowerment to walk our talk.

In this course, we will explore Tantra Yoga through Asana, Pranayama, Bandha, Ritual Elements, Tantric Practices, as well as Philosophy and Meditation. Additionally, you will receive many necessary tools related to Anatomy and Physiology, Structuring and Sequencing, Marketing, and much more to prepare you for teaching Yoga and Tantra in today’s world.

As mentioned, there will be NO nudity or physical sexuality during the course, although we will work extensively with creative energy and the integration of spirituality and sexuality. Furthermore, no one in our TTC shall feel obliged to do anything against their free will in the name of “tantric teachings.” We are not sectarian, there is no intention to push anyone into relationships with others (or prevent them), and of course this program is no place to harass or seduce your fellow participants. Instead, we strive to maintain a high standard of vibrant spirituality, with loving presence and increased awareness, and by no means forgetting to enjoy having a fun time. Join us if you wish to embrace life as a path to growth and awakening.

YOUR TTC JOURNEY

Here you will find an overview of the various elements of your journey once you have been accepted and successfully enrolled in the TTC program.

1. Course Preparation
Two months before the start of the main on-site course, we will send you our preparatory study package. It contains video tutorials, manuals, and a TTC preparation plan. We ask that you study these materials prior to the main training so that all participants can start at an equal level. If you only register shortly before the TTC begins, you will receive the preparatory package upon your registration.

2. Your Teachers Training Main Course
Your on-site in-person main course begins on a Sunday afternoon with our welcome meeting and ends on a Saturday afternoon after the graduation ceremony. Please find more details and the general daily schedule below.

3. Subsequent Support
We offer our graduates an optional 6–month follow–up support after completing the TTC. In this period, we’ll also meet once a month for an online call to connect, share, and discuss anything that may arise as you progress in your new role as a Tantra Yoga teacher.

SCHEDULE OVERVIEW

Our schedule runs weekly from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays off. A regular day begins at 6:30 and ends around 18:30.

Saturdays have a slightly different format and we usually finish earlier, around 17:00.

EXAMS & PRACTICUMS

Our intention is to empower high–quality teachers. This means that we will prepare you to the best of our ability to leave the course as an embodied, knowledgeable, and ethical Tantra Yoga teacher. This course is therefore designed as teacher training and not merely as a “retreat.” In addition to your own practice and personal transformation, we will prepare you (if so desired) to become a teacher and later assist others in their practice and transformation. 

To ensure the high quality of our intensive training, you will need to pass several exams during the TTC to demonstrate your understanding of the course content. These consist of a short introductory test on the preparatory studies, a further test during the course, and a final exam at the end of the course.

In addition to participating in the Yoga and Tantra sessions, you will also complete practicums that give you the precious opportunity to practice your teaching skills and gain confidence. These practicums consist of teaching-like situation in which you practice guiding your fellow students and then receive individual feedback. There are 5 practicums in total, with the first ones being shorter and the later ones being a bit more detailed.

YOUR TANTRA YOGA PRACTICE

Your personal practice includes more techniques than you will later be qualified to teach. This is because we want you to be a strong practitioner with more knowledge and experience than you teach to others. During the TTC, your will learn and practice:

• 36 traditional Hatha-Kundalini Asanas
• 6 or more classical Pranayama techniques
• 5 or more techniques to concentrate your mind (Dharana)
• 6 or more awareness and meditation practices (Dhyana)
• Various Bandhas and Mudras
• A broad variety of Tantric Ritual Elements
• Plenty of warm-up exercises and Sat Karma Kriya techniques

Most of these techniques are presented in detail, with an overview, alignment, variations, and contraindications. We will also explore their physical, energetic, emotional-mental, and spiritual benefits.

YOUR TEACHERS’ TOOLKIT

Some of these techniques will be presented, explored and practiced in more depth throughout the course. They will later form your toolkit as a Tantra Yoga teacher. After successfully completing the TTC, you will most likely be able to teach the following right away:

• 24 traditional Hatha-Kundalini Asanas
• Various warm-up techniques
• 4 classical Pranayama techniques
• 3 techniques to concentrate the mind (Dharana)
• 3 awareness and meditation practices (Dhyana)
• 2 classical Kundalini Bandhas
