A Day in Teacher Training
YTT Daily Schedule
From sunrise practice to evening meditation, every hour is designed to transform you into a skilled, knowledgeable yoga teacher.
The Structure of Transformation
Yoga teacher training is intensive by design. The daily schedule may seem demanding, but each element serves a purpose. Early mornings align you with natural rhythms. Multiple practice sessions build teaching stamina. Philosophy lectures in the afternoon use your reflective mind. Evening meditation integrates the day's learning.
This schedule has evolved over years of training teachers. It's not arbitrary - it's optimized for learning and transformation. By the end of training, this rhythm feels natural. Many graduates continue similar routines in their own teaching lives.
Rest days are built in - typically one full day off per week plus lighter afternoons. Your body and mind need integration time. The schedule is intensive but not unsustainable.

Really nice spot to stay some days in Pokhara in between trekkings. Lovely yoga classes from Deepika 2 times a day. Oasis of peace with little garden in the center of Pokhara near the lakeside.
