HathawithSahi - Teacher training

Hatha Yoga has completely transformed my life and has brought me immense joy and ease. My old sense of insecurity has long gone.

I dare to take a rare route in life that is different from the mainstream. Perception has come, and I can see the world beyond my tiny little spreadsheet—another way of being starts to settle within me.

I notice that I have become more attentive to life. A simple Namaskar can bring intense sweet emotions to my heart. Never before, I walked into a forest and see the leaves falling, and tears just rolled down my cheeks.

I have developed so much deep gratitude towards the life around me.

Offering this has becomes my purpose, and it rewards me with endless fulfillment and extreme happiness.

Classical Hatha Teacher training is the best gift I gave to myself. For 21 weeks, I soaked in the powerful space created by Sadhguru. It was a pure purification and transformation.

Moreover, this training has given me the privilege to share Sadhguru’s words and bring authentic Classical Hatha Yoga to those who long for it — a mission and purpose that now guide my life.

Classical Hatha Yoga Teacher Training

I completed the Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2024 at Sadhguru Gurukulam in Coimbatore, Southern India. The program lasted 21 weeks and included over 1,750 hours of intensive practice and learning. This wonderful and transformative program was designed by Sadhguru himself with the intention of bringing back Classical Hatha Yoga in its purest form.

Every day, I woke up around 3:30 a.m. to complete my Kriya practices. At 5:30 a.m., we used to start with Guru Pooja and began our morning practices. Each morning, we practiced Upa Yoga/Angamardhana, Surya Kriya, Surya Shakti, Yogasanas, Bhakti Sadhana, chanting Nirvana Shatkam, and Isha Kriya.

(This is our classroom. We were very fortunate to have Adiyogi Alayam – a powerful consecrated Space created by Sadhguru- for the whole training period.)

We then returned for the noon session, which included video sessions or other lectures, followed by AUM chanting and Nadi Shuddhi. In the afternoon, we practiced Shoonya meditation, enjoyed snacks and juice, and then continued with study and practice assessments.

From 4:00 p.m., we resumed our practices — Upa Yoga/Angamardhana, Surya Kriya, Surya Shakti, and Yogasanas. Dinner was served at 7:00 p.m., followed by a night session featuring Sadhguru’s videos and other aspects of the training. Each day was filled with 7–8 hours of intensive practices and learning — truly full on from start to finish.

The training covered a wide range of elements alongside the yogic practices. It also included aspects of anatomy, physiology, yogic physiology, the science of Siddha, and the importance of diet. Throughout the training, we followed a fully vegetarian, high-pranic, largely raw-based diet — and it was absolutely fabulous.
