Currently only practising 1 time\/week? Focus on working yourself up to 4-5 times\/week prior to your training. If your body is not used to moving regularly, the amount of physical activity during a TTC can be quite physically demanding for you. Even practising at home for 30 minutes counts! In this way, you can make your way through the Sun Salutations, the Standing Poses, Forward Folds and Seated Stretches just to help your body get acclimated to moving regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Work_on_Breath_Awareness\"><\/span><strong>Work on Breath Awareness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pranayama (breathing exercises) is a significant part of any <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gurukulyogashala.com\/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-in-rishikesh-india.php\">200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 However, taking the time to sit and concentrate on how you breathe in the morning prior to training will help you learn the techniques of pranayama more easily. There are many methods you can use to learn how to breathe effectively, such as deep belly breathing or the <strong>4-7-8 method<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep_Well_and_Eat_Well_Before_You_Go\"><\/span><strong>Sleep Well and Eat Well Before You Go<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may seem easy, many students arrive exhausted due to finishing work, relocating their homes, and travelling. In the weeks before arriving at the ashram, make getting rest your number one priority. Limiting alcohol consumption (if you drink), eating cleanly and trying to synchronise your sleeping hours with those at the ashram (where many students start their day before or around sunrise) will aid you in giving your body a head start on the first day of training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_for_Reduced_Screen_Time\"><\/span><strong>Prepare for Reduced Screen Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many reputable yoga schools discourage the use of smartphones and social media during yoga teacher training. If you are accustomed to consistently being connected to a smartphone and\/or social media, the transition can be overwhelming. Therefore, you should make a conscious effort to practice small forms of digital detoxification before you travel. You could choose to spend one hour of your morning without looking at your phone; you could choose to have a no-electronics night one day before leaving&#8230;Either way, it will allow your nervous system time to adjust to the stillness of your life ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mental_Preparation_Get_Your_Mind_Ready_to_Open\"><\/span><strong>Mental Preparation: Get Your Mind Ready to Open<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_Go_of_the_Need_to_Be_Perfect\"><\/span><strong>Let Go of the Need to Be Perfect<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to realise that your training isn\u2019t a performance, so you might lose your balance within poses, struggle with concepts and have journey days where everything seems to go completely awry; this doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve failed\u2014it just means you learned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teachers at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gurukulyogashala.com\">best Yoga Schools in Rishikesh<\/a><\/strong> are not there to judge your progress. They&#8217;re there to guide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_a_Simple_Journaling_Practice\"><\/span><strong>Start a Simple Journaling Practice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your TTC will create a lot of internal changes; therefore, it is important to develop a habit of journaling those changes. You can spend around 5 minutes before your bedtime journaling your thoughts\/feelings, etc. You don\u2019t have to be a writer; even writing a few words daily builds a connection to you as an increased sense of self-awareness is ultimately what yoga is about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_a_Little_About_Yoga_Philosophy\"><\/span><strong>Read a Little About Yoga Philosophy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you won\u2019t be evaluated on yoga philosophy before attending the TTC, knowing the basic definitions of the <strong>Eight Limbs of Yoga<\/strong>, the Yamas\/Niyamas and who Patanjali is will provide a perspective for the lessons, creating a larger impact when we delve deep into the philosophical classes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Comfortable_with_Discomfort\"><\/span><strong>Get Comfortable with Discomfort<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gurukulyogashala.com\/\">Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh<\/a><\/strong> will help you grow physically and mentally. Throughout the program, you may experience emotional discomfort, physical fatigue from using new muscle groups every day and mental confusion as you learn new things. One of the best ways to prepare yourself to be able to sit with discomfort, rather than run away from it, is to develop your <strong>mindfulness practice<\/strong>, even just five minutes each day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Preparation_The_Logistics_That_Matter\"><\/span><strong>Practical Preparation: The Logistics That Matter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack lightly but considerately. Bring simple, comfortable, modest clothes for yoga practice. Consider bringing a good quality yoga mat if you have one (yoga teacher training schools have mats). You should also bring a personal journal, plus any personal medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rishikesh is a very spiritual city. You will be expected to wear modest clothing while walking around Rishikesh outside of the ashram, so plan accordingly. If possible, arrive at least a day in advance. Take time to readjust to the time zone you&#8217;re in, orient yourself in relation to Rishikesh and obtain a sense of calm from sitting by the Ganga River before your yoga teacher training begins. If you do not, you will enter your first class with a scattered mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Right_School_Makes_All_the_Difference\"><\/span><strong>The Right School Makes All the Difference<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The environment surrounding your training is an essential part of your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gurukulyogashala.com\">Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh<\/a><\/strong>.

Gurukul Yogashala teachers are well-versed in the authentic Himalayan tradition. The small class sizes allow teachers ample opportunity to provide personalised attention.

Students describe the time at Gurukul Yogashala as one of, if not the, most growth-producing experiences they&#8217;ve had because most had come to the experience underprepared but fully present within the process, and therefore it enabled many to undergo tremendous transformation through their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mat awaits you&#8230; Prepare yourself to meet yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_How_fit_do_I_need_to_be_before_joining_a_200-hour_yoga_teacher_training_in_Rishikesh\"><\/span><strong>Q1.

Your willingness to show up consistently and work with your body where it is today is more important than your physical ability. The teachers at Gurukul Yogashala will assist with modifications and offer personal guidance for your practice throughout YTT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_How_many_weeks_before_the_course_should_I_start_preparing\"><\/span><strong>Q2. How many weeks before the course should I start preparing?<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Four to six weeks before YTT is the ideal time for you to consciously prepare for your commitment to YTT by developing a daily ritual of yoga, adjusting your sleeping habits, cleaning up your diet\/nutrition, and starting a journaling or meditative practice. Even two or three weeks of intentional preparation will give you a noticeably smoother transition into training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Can_I_go_straight_into_the_300-hour_or_500-hour_programs_without_doing_the_200-hour_first\"><\/span><strong>Q3.

If you forget something, you can find almost everything you need in town here in Rishikesh.
