About the 45-Day 4 Yogas TTC
Aryamarga Yoga is proud to present the 4 Yoga Teachers’ certification programme, a 330Hours Intensive Yoga Training Course designed for those interested in actually experiencing the theory and practice of authentic Yoga.
The 4 Yogas Teacher Training Course acts both as a precursor to Arya Marga Yoga’s more intense and exhaustive 5-Month Anubhava Yoga TTC and independently, as a unique introduction to the ancient science of Integrated Yoga.
Known by their sanskrit terms-Hatha, Mantra, Tantra and Raja Yoga, the Four Yogas of the Body, Mind-Breathing, Internalised Senses, and Higher Consciousness have been practiced for millennia in India as one single Integrated system. This integrated system cannot simply be learnt-it must be experienced.
To rapidly enable the flowering of experiences in the Integrated 4 Yoga system, we utilize the experiential methods of Bhava-Spanda or Passion-Waves, the high intensification of mentally generated emotional states. The experience of this intensified emotion within the techniques of the 4 Yogas is the real inner revealer, and transformer of our personalities and bodies.
Experience in Samskrit is termed Anubhava and the Anubhava Yoga appreciation programme is designed to generate within the participants the inner experience of the 4 Yogas. The techniques learnt in the course will be practiced for maximum effect in unique Prana enhancing environments, an ancient coastal forest (Oct.2024) and high-mountain Himalayan settings (Apr.2025) to bring the experience to a close, and a new beginning.

Our Team of Teachers
Roshan met his Guru near an alpine village a few hours hiking distance from the mountain town of Uttarkashi. Ganapati Baba’s teaching of the 4 Yogas of the ancient Mahasiddhas Lineage and the profound manner in which it was imparted changed Roshan’s life forever. Being instructed to learn more about Mahakaruna / The Great Compassion and Shunyata/Emptiness, by his Guru, Roshan undertook a 3-year study into Mahayana Buddhism and the View and Practices derived by that system from the 84 Mahasiddhas. Since then he has been residing, practising and teaching in the Tibetan town of Bir
Thanida, a citizen of Thailand, has been teaching various forms of traditional Hatha Yoga across Thailand and India. She has received advanced Hatha training from Kaivalyadham, Pune, Bihar Yoga Bharati, Munger, Sivananda Ashram, Kerala and JivamuktiYoga, New York. Having received Yoga training in the Lineage of the 84 Mahasiddhas, Thanida has incorporated her knowledge of the Hatha Asanas with the structure of the 5 element intensification and harmonization practices of the Lineage.
Akshat, after having quit his job as a financial advisor, 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

Student Reviews
Aryamarga’s 45-Day-Yoga-Course is an excellent way to deepen both practice and knowledge on Yoga, helping to find the essential connection between them. As a complete path that includes the physical yogic activity and the unfolding of cognitive faculties, it promotes internal balance and naturally leads to higher states of consciousness. Asana and Pranayama Kryias are intense and provide a rich basis to self-practice. The study of fundamental texts of the Lineage is completely based on translations and commentaries developed in the institute. It clearly reflects the high level of authentic Yoga practice that has being made here. All the teachers are honestly committed, supportive and extremely generous. There is a lot of knowledge here and also the means to transmit it in a comprehensive way are thoroughly developed. I strongly recommend Aryamarga Yoga. May it benefit as many people as possible!
For my path, having me led to AryaMarga Yoga Institute I am very grateful. The opportunity that we are given here, to study and experience the ancient teachings of Yoga is one that I believe to be very unique in its form. We are offered profund teachings, building a wholesome system of practicing Yoga, which are made so vivid to take in by the passion they are presented to us. Our teachers create a space for each of us to be who we are now and encourage us to grow towards ourselves, a space filled by compassion. This course, being not even half way over, already offered me the possibility to let go of reference frames that were not of use anymore, giving me the chance to gradually elimite my own limitations. I truly thank the AryaMarga Team for sharing their teachings with us.
Accommodation
The training Course is a full-time residential course. The 45-day 4 Yogas P-TAK module will unfold in Gokarna, Karnataka. A mystic beach and forest land of ancient provenance, Gokarna is first mentioned in the pre-historic text of Bhagvad Puran and later in the Mahabharata.
Raised from the depths of the Sea King Varuna’s kingdom by the sage Parashurama, Gokarna is the land where the Bana Linga or Sky-Self Gateway procured by Ravana the Demon King was established forever in the temple of Mahabaleshawara.
Students get to choose between Private Cottage Accommodation and Shared Cottage Accommodation and Small Room Accommodation.

We ensure that the daily nutritional requirements of the students are met through a wholesome dietary plan.
