Anubhava Yoga
Teacher Training Course

15th May 2025 - 15th Oct 2025 (Spiti Valley)
Probably the Most
Intensive & Integrated
Yogic Training
in the World
A Brief
Yoga is Union. But, we are, each one of us, already in Union or Yoga with our existing identities right now, namely our own bodies, our senses, memories and mind. Taking our scattered selves to the higher levels of Integrated Self Awareness is the Whole Science and Art of Yoga. The levels of Willful evolution of our Integrated self ends only at the Absolute Experience.
This is Yoga, This is Higher Experience, the Anubhava of True Yoga.

The 5-Month Anubhava Yoga Teacher Training Course is structured specifically to help you achieve this Anubhava or Experience of True Yoga. The 4 Crucial components for experiencing the Higher Levels of Self within a TTC are the Teaching Methodology, the Teaching Content and Authenticity, the Environment where the Teaching is happening and last, but not the least, the Teachers and their Quality.
Our mission, at AryaMarga Yoga, given to us by our Yoga Guru is to correct the dilution and confusion of True Yoga that has been an unfortunate consequence of the blatant commercialisation of Yoga.
What you will receive at AryaMarga Yoga is the Essence and Secret Practices of the 4 Yogas comprising the ancient Anuttara Yoga Tantra or the Highest Union of Yoga and Tantra Path.
Your 5-Month Yogic journey of transmutation begins with the P-TAK 4 Yogas Course, introducing the 4 Yogas - The Hatha, Mantra-Prana, Laya and Raja-Samadhi Yoga, and gaining introductory level proficiency in all the 4 Yogas.
The Second sub-module TTC, the Somatic Therapy Training Course will train the students, through Intermediate Level of 5-Elements Mastery, towards preventing, diagnosing and treating more than 20 Major Lifestyle Diseases. An Intermediate Level of Kriya Yoga, Pranayama & Asanas will also achieved by the students within this course.
In the 3rd Sub-module of the TTC, the Yogic Psychology Course, the students will undergo training in the o-Point Systems of the Chakras ad the Petalline Architecture Personality Systems. Training will also progress of the Kriya Yoga Systems to an advanced level within this course module. Students will be trained to immediately perceive and cognise the Whole Personality of others and have awareness of their own Unique Psychological traits of personality. Psychological and Emotional self-healing, diagnostics, therapy and evolutionary methodologies will be taught and practiced in this course module of the TTC.
This in turn allows the student to move from being one who experiences the power of Yoga, to one who heals, and help develop the bodies and minds of others with Yoga - a true teacher.
The Final and the 4th module of the 5-Month TTC is the Tantra Yoga Course. This course is not, strictly speaking a TTC as the students are not undergoing training in this course to be teachers. Rather, they are being trained in the subtle and immensely powerful methods of Yogini/Shakti Tantras and the MahaMudra systems of Yoga. This is a purely experiential course, intense, technical and demanding. The magical and esoteric worlds of Tantras within are revealed through experience, transforming the self & life, by the practice of these wondrous systems of Anuttara Yoga Tantra.
Detailed Curriculum
The 5-Month 1100HR Anubhava Yoga TTC comprises 4-Modules, all of which you can take together as the whole Intensive Integrative Training, or which you can take separately depending on your personal interest.
Detailed requirements for registering for each module if taken separately is included in the information below. The training during the course is intense, consisting of 6-7 classes every day for 6 days a week with Saturdays being a half day and a 90% attendance rate is required of the students.
1st Module : P-TAK 4 Yogas TTC
The P-TAK module introduces the 4-Yoga System in an intense and integrated manner, with particular focus on integrated yoga practices from Hatha Yoga & Raja Yoga. There are 3-4 theory classes per day, consisting of Raja Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Introduction to Samkhya Philosophy and the psychology of 5-Elements.
Our classes are intensive, exhaustive and descriptive, taught by teachers from the Mountain tradition of the Naga-Giri Monks and the Vajrayana Lineage.
The main subjects taught during the P-TAK 4 Yogas TTC are as follows :-
Hatha Asanas
During the course, students undergo training in the P-TAK (Pancha Tattva Asana Kriya) twice daily. This is a Hatha Asana practice of 75 minutes specifically developed to harmonize and energize our Elemental composition, preparing the body and mind for further advanced Pranayama & Meditation Kriyas (practices).
Pranayama Kriyas
Students also get to practice the Pranayamas & Kriya techniques of the ancient Shaiva branch of Anuttara Yoga-Tantra. The daily 60 minutes Pranayama session is scheduled post the morning Hatha Yoga Asana class.
Patanjali's Raja Yoga
Intensive, exhaustive & descriptive teaching of the Raja Yoga Sutras of Patanjali taught in the tradition of Mahamudra and Dzogchen Samadhi Yoga

Shatkarma Practices
Once a week there is the morning practice & training in the Shatkarmas/Cleansing Practices.
Samkhya 5-Elements
The module introduces psychological study of the 5-Elements - their cognitive, affective and behavioural traits
2nd Module : Somatic Therapy TTC
The Second module is an advanced study of the 5-Elements and their physical manifestation in the body. Each Element is mapped to specific bodily organs based on Yogic understanding of the Element and its correlation with the functioning of the organ. Students learn how the harmonious interaction between the bodily hormones helps maintain homeostasis, and about the imbalances that lead to disease.
This module is also our Yoga Therapy Module, covering as it does the Etiology, Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy for over 20 lifestyle based diseases. Within this module Anatomy studies are intensified, the P-TAK sequence is changed from the 27 asana practice to a 2 and half hour practice of 54 advanced asanas, the A-PTAK sequence.
Pranayama and visualisations are more specific where students start learning curated Asana sequences to prevent the onset of future diseases and to treat existing ones.
The students will study these diseases from an allopathic point as well as the Yogic perspective. This module is not Theory intensive, but more practical in nature.
3rd Module : Yoga Psychology TTC
The Third Module is the Yogic Psychology module which introduces the 0 Point System – the culmination of over a decades long research by AryaMarga Yoga to integrate the diverse systems of yoga psychology into a composite system of Psychological Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy.
Starting with customised diagnosis of personality traits as per Yoga Psychology, the 0 Point System provides customised suites of Yogic tools-that comprises of Asanas, Pranayamas and Psychological techniques suited to the individual personality.
The customisation process is decided by the initial survey and observation based diagnosis of the individual, a process called Personality Mapping. This process allows us to understand our own unique personality system. We then target personality traits desired by the individual and finally give form to the suite of tools so that they may act as a ‘Personality Bridge’ between the existing personality with its existing traits and the Desired Personality with its desirable traits. The process of transformation or Personality Expansion is then activated and realised, its speed depending upon the regularity and intensity of practice of the suite of individualised Yogic tools within the 0 Point System. In this module, the students will also be introduced to the in depth study of the Siva Sutras, Mudras, Advanced pranayama, Yoga Nidra practices and Laya Yoga Theory.
Advanced Kriya Yoga
21-Step Kriya Kundalini practices which form the foundational basis for advanced Tantric practices.
Dream Yoga Kriyas
The theory of Dream Engineering, Archetypes, and the practice of dream construction for therapy and evolution
Zero-Point System
Personality mapping, Diagnosis, Prognosis and Cognitive-Behavioral-Affective Therapy from Yogas & Tantras
4th Module : Anuttara Yoga Tantra Yoga TTC
Finally, the last module consists of the Tantra studies where in the student dives in to the study of Tantra Yoga-Vijnanabhairava, Anuttara Yoga Tantra, Mantra Vidya and the 6 Yogas of Naropa and Vajrayogini Tantra Kriyas. Post the study of the texts and introduction to the practices, the students will engage fully in the Kriyas independently in their own chosen caves/hut. Transformative and tantric experiences will be discussed with Guruji who will guide the students on the signs seen and way forward.

Akshat Madan, Pranayama & Somatic Yoga Teacher
Akshat, set out to travel the mystical land of Yogis and Sages. He was spellbound by the beauty and diversity that India offered, but found it almost impossible to make any coherent sense of his spiritual experience. The thirst for knowledge remained unsatiated. It was during his meeting with Roshanji, that an instant and deep connection was formed to a living lineage of yogic masters. He took the quantum leap and decided to fully immerse and dedicate himself to this new lifestyle
Certification
It is our belief, at Aryamarga Yoga, that to attain a minimum proficiency in the above 4 inter- related areas of Yoga, a minimum period of 5 months of intensive training is necessary. With over 1100 hours of Yogic theory and practicals, the 5 month ANUBHAVA YOGA TTC culminates in a 4 day final examination. Successful participants of the course are awarded four certifications in Yoga:
-
Yoga Asana, Pranayama, Mudra and Bandha Teachers Certification

It must be strongly stated, however, that AryaMarga is not affiliated with Yoga Alliance or any other organisation as we are a stand alone institute. Our aim and objective is to tranmit the authentic yogic teachings of the original Naga Lineage, founders of Hatha Yoga and Laya/Kundalini Yoga.
