a1000 yoga Academy, Centre for education in Authentic Indian Yoga, run by Hata Yoga Abhyaasa and Prachaara Trust, Bangalore, was established to support teachers and aspiring teachers in pursuing knowledge of yoga, in regular course formats as well as an affordable, flexible course format, to become a Certified subject expert and a Professional Yoga Teacher. These courses are programmed to address the most important and immediate needs of a Yoga Teacher, be it Yoga, Teaching methodology, or Business skills.

At the Academy, our mode of instruction is staying true to the Indian Gurukula system – a traditional and trusted education system in a modern context. Knowledge is imparted through the evolving relationship between the Teacher and the disciple. It is considered that this relationship, based on the genuineness of the Teacher and commitment, respect, devotion, obedience, and faith of the student, is the best way for delivery of subtle and advanced knowledge.

In taking this further HYAP Trust also runs Yoga Sattwa, Ayurveda, and Yoga College, Mysore. 

We incorporate the essence of traditional Indian scriptures and understand their relevance to the modern need. Yogic texts like Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Hata Yoga Pradipika are the sourcebooks for all our practices and beliefs. We strongly believe and have incorporated the wisdom of Ayurveda, Ayurvedic physiology and anatomy in Yoga practice, lifestyle and diet. Modern Anatomy and Physiology is used to further understand the human body and its functions.

Our Yoga Teacher Training Courses help to deepen asana, pranayama and higher practices. It also helps to gain an authentic knowledge of yoga principles and philosophy to become a confident yoga teacher. Being the Best Yoga Institute in Bangalore, our systematised and standardised Yoga Teacher Training helps one to pursue yoga in its purest form and to immerse in traditional practices meant for modern applications.

Mentoring from our experienced teachers, apprenticeship and the opportunity to build a strong peer support group are key features of our post-course engagements. Every successful graduate will be equipped to teach classes that are Engaging, Authentic & Honest, a trademarked a1000yoga approach to teaching.
