In a Class by Itself 12 Features Unique
Course Duration
The many-branched yogic science is too deep to be grasped in 45 days. So, we are introducing advanced 200-hour (45 days) YTTC in Rishikesh.
Vedanta & Tantra
Vedanta affirms that the Self and the World are One Reality. Tantra is the science of unblocking the chakras or energy channels of the body, leading to self-realization.
Internship
Internship training has been introduced to transform yoga seekers into yoga masters. The mission behind Internship is to help the students get globally connected as yoga promoters.
Mental Transformation
Together with physical transformation, mind must be transformed through pranayamas and meditation for freedom from stress, depression and fear of uncertain future.
Four Subjects
Traditional Hatha Yoga, Vedanta & Tantra Kriyas, Yogic Astrology and Static & Dynamic Meditation. All these yogic subjects have been combined in one course.
Static & Dynamic Meditation
Ascending Consciousness in motionlessness (static) and in motion (dynamic). Static meditation is traditional while the dynamic has been designed for the modern life complexity.
Classical Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga starts stress relief exercises but consummates in unfolding of Consciousness. A preparatory yoga, it purifies body for higher forms of yoga.
Yogic Astrology
Yoga is linked with astrology because certain yogic kriyas are believed to strengthen one’s energy coming from planets, turning planetary negatives into positives.
Certification
In all, five certificates would be given to the students on completion of this course. One by Yoga Alliance USA (Hatha Yoga) and other four by Satbodh Foundation.

curriculum
Four Subjects Combined in One Course
This course has taken in its bosom four subjects to enable the trainees to gain deep and nuanced knowledge of the multi-dimensional yogic science of inner and outer transformation.
The curriculum includes the practical and the theoretical components of this composite course which will take the seekers to dizzy heights of knowledge rich with enormous scope of applying them later in life.
Theoretical Curriculum
Satbodh has taken great care to ensure that the theoretical component of the course is complete in its scope, nothing left out and all dealt with in the deeps. The four subjects included in this course-traditional Hatha Yoga, Vedanta & Tantra Kriyas, Yogic Astrology and Static & Dynamic Meditations- may appear separate by themselves. But immaculately fused in this course, they would seem as parts of the yogic whole.
Traditional Hatha Yoga
The West seeks to relate hatha yoga with mere balancing of body with mind, stress-relieving exercises. But for India, it is more: purifying body for a higher life- a preparatory yoga leading to Raja Yoga and other forms of higher yoga.
The components are yogic philosophy, ashtanga yoga, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, pranayama, advanced meditation and discourse on Gita. This aside, the course includes advanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology, required for learning and applying therapeutic yoga, healing and curing by yoga.
- Nothing important in contemporary context is left out
- All subjects included are dealt with in the deeps
- Under yogic philosophy come ashtanga yoga, bhakti yoga and karma yoga
- Pranayama, static & dynamic meditation and discourse on Gita are included
- Further, it includes advanced knowledge of anatomy and physiology needed for therapeutic yoga
Vedanta
The combined course seeks to capture the essence of the ancient knowledge known as Vedanta, the summit of spiritual knowledge.
Vedanta seeks to explain the Self (the reality within) and the World (the reality without) and finally reconciles them in the Divine Oneness. Vedanta affirms that the Self and the World are not separate as they seem. They are One Reality. One undifferentiated flow of consciousness constitutes both the Real (Self) and the Phenomenal (World). Vedanta is the knowledge of the One, the Non-dual Reality that is indivisible.
- The course is designed to capture the soul of Vedanta
- Vedanta explains the self and the world
- It reconciles both in the Divine Whole
- It views both the Real and the Phenomenal as existing in One Reality
- It culminates in the knowledge of Non-Dualism-the Supreme One immutable
Tantra Kriyas
Tantra is a powerful life-affirming and life-positive practice that seeks to transform life by spiritualizing life. It is the science which deals with how to unblock the chakras or energy channels of the body, leading to self-realization.
Vedanta seeks self-realization through connecting the Conscious Soul, the Purusha, Shiva while Tantra Kriyas seek the same through sublimating the Nature, Prakriti, Shakti. They are different paths, but both lead to self-realization, the realization of the One in All.
- Tantra is life-affirming practice
- It seeks to spiritualize life, going bottom-up
- It teaches how to unlock energy channels of the body for self-realization
- Vedanta seeks to connect the Conscious Soul through meditative yoga, working top- down
- Tantra seeks to transform Nature to unite with the Conscious Soul
Yogic Astrology
Astrology is about prediction of what is in store both in individual life and the world through studying the ever-changing movements and positions of the planets. It has been fascinating humanity for thousands of years, across the globe.
Ancient India attached to it great importance and built an elaborate system for prediction through planetary observations.
Yoga comes to be linked with astrology in the sense that certain yogic kriyas can strengthen one’s energy coming from the planets.
- Astrology deals with prediction of future through studying planets
- Ancient India built an elaborate system of Vedic Astrology through planetary observation
- Yoga stands related to Vedic Astrology
- Certain yogic kriyas can bolster one’s energy coming from the planets
- As per Yogic Astrology, planetary negatives can be changed into positives by practice of certain yogic kriyas
Static & Dynamic Meditation Kriyas
For meditation, mind must be emptied of thoughts, intellectual passivity firmly established. This is difficult, particularly for the Western mind. For they consider mind as the summit, the highest manifestation for man, the power of thinking and reflecting. But in the spiritual sense, the cognitive mind impedes the ascent to the higher mind.
Meditation practice starts with concentration. When concentration deepens into meditation, mind becomes void of thoughts: a perfect receiver of the above-mental consciousness.
In static meditation, there would be no physical action involved while in its dynamic counterpart there would be some physical actions involved.
- Mind must be silenced for meditation
- This is difficult for Western mind, as it considers thinking mind as man’s highest capacity
- Meditation starts with concentration
- Concentration progressively becomes meditation
- Static mediation is devoid of physical action while dynamic meditation involves some physical actions
Practical Curriculum
It includes demonstration and application, all subjects scientifically and logically explained, satisfying to all. It takes knowledge from theory to practice. It ensures that the practical knowledge along with the theoretical knowledge spreads out, from man to man, across the world, edifying humanity about the immense usefulness of the yogic knowledge and the knowledge of its branches in practical life with its therapeutic and educative wealth.

Relevance amidst Crisis
Modern time is unsettling. Our life now is beset with crises and challenges. Even if we are materially preposterous we are restless within, knowing not how to be happy, how to live in peace, devoid of stress. This is true everywhere, across the globe.
And the pandemic has added to our insecurity. Even the rich and the affluent are now living in fear, fear of diseases and isolation. We are desperately searching for something like a panacea that can help us out of this dark abyss, letting us live in fullness, free from stress and tension.
So, this is the right time for us to turn our focus within, deep inside the self. Perennial wisdom says that while living within, we can face the life without, with confidence, with courage, with fearlessness.
For living within, we must go for triple transformation-physical, mental and spiritual. It is a long way to go. But if we persist, undaunted by the resistance from our nature, we will transform our life at all levels of our being.
Physical Transformation
Physical transformation can be achieved through asanas, pranayamas and shatkarma. For a higher life in the Divine, we must free our bodily functions from their mechanical grooves and transform the body into a supple recipient of the yogic forces.
Physical transformation bolsters our internal immunity, helping us fight diseases and even keep them at bay. It reduces health problems like high blood pressure. It heals heart and respiratory complications, naturally, by facilitating in-built strength.
- Asanas, pranayamas and shatkarmas cleanse body
- These yogic kriyas control blood pressure, respiratory complications
- They take good care of heart and blood circulation process
- They reduce body weight, strengthen muscles
- They make body a flexible receiver of the divine force
Mental Transformation
Mere physical transformation is not enough. There is mind to be transformed by the yogic power. The mind is incurably restless: running about from thought to thought. This restless mind must be quieted down, to receive the higher lights.
By focusing on our breath and mind-movements through pranayamas and meditation, we can lessen the chatter of the brain. This would help us free ourselves of anxiety, depression and fear of uncertain future.
- Physical transformation is not enough
- Man being a mental being, restless mind must be calmed
- A quiet mind alone can receive the Divine Light
- Through pranayamas supported by meditation, we can calm mind
- By quieting down mind, we can control anxiety and depression
Spiritual Transformation
Even physical and mental transformations are not enough. Unless we harmonize our being with the spiritual forces through connecting the soul-consciousness we cannot hope to move far. Yoga is incomplete without spiritual transformation of the seekers.
It involves a profound change of the being, from ego to surrender, from restlessness to peace, from ignorance to knowledge, from selfishness to divine love, from fragmentation to integration.
- Spiritual transformation to be followed by physical-mental transformation
- Soul consciousness, rightly connected, brings spiritual transformation
- Spiritual transformation is consummation of yoga
- The more we are transformed spiritually the more our life will be peaceful
- The more we are peaceful the more will we enjoy life in all its aspects
Teaching Principles
Our teaching is unique because the masters here are more loving guides than mechanical instructors. Though they will employ all the relevant tools and techniques in the traditional and modern modes of teaching, they will principally guide the seekers, helping them move on and progress by themselves. They will help their students to comprehend, absorb and assimilate the many-splendored yoga sciences with its branches without undue interference in their learning process.
Satbodh Foundation believes that an ideal teacher is more a loving guide than a stern instructor. He shows the way to knowledge instead of imposing knowledge from outside.
