1) Pranayama & Hatha Teacher Training (September 2025 – October 2026) – 200 hours

Witregel

Given the growing worldwide interest in Pranayama and its powerful effects, it’s vital that the practice is taught correctly with techniques that have been tested for hundreds of years in the authentic yoga tradition and have been tested from a scientific point of view.

The practice of Pranayama has a major impact on human physiology and psychology. This is why the discipline must be approached with the caution. That’s why the Kaivalyadhama Institute has designed a 3-year training program in which students acquire a correct understanding of Pranayama practices, both from a practical and theoretical point of view, as well as experientially. From September 2025 to July 2026 we will teach a 200 hours Teacher Training.

Subject to successful completion of the course the participant will receive a certificate attesting to their competence in teaching basic pranayama without breath retention. This certificate gives access to the second year of the Kaivalyadhama Institute’s 3-year Pranayama training program.
