FAQs: Yoga Teacher & Evaluator
(Equivalent to 800 Hours of Structured Learning)
The Yoga Teacher & Evaluator (equivalent to 800 Hours yoga teacher training) Yoga Teacher Training is an intensive yoga education program designed to educate aspirants about deeper philosophical aspects, including the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Hatha Ratnavali, Yog Vashishtha, Yog Sutra, and many others. This course covers intensive practical yoga training along with in-depth theory as prescribed under the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) Level-3 syllabus.
In the context of yoga education, “equivalent to hours” refers to the approximate estimated learning time prescribed for a particular level of study. It represents the overall academic and learning workload expected from a student, rather than a fixed number of classroom or contact hours.
It is important to understand that yoga learning is not a rigid, hour-bound process. The concept of counting education strictly in hours is largely a Western academic framework, whereas the traditional yogic system has always emphasised continuous practice (abhyasa), reflection, and experiential understanding, which cannot be confined to a definite number of hours.
This is why, at Ayushman Yog, the course structure is designed with flexibility:
-
Practical training is conducted for a defined period of 3 months, ensuring disciplined, guided, and consistent practice.
-
Theory learning remains open-ended, allowing students to continue attending live theory classes until they feel ready and successfully clear the examination.
This approach acknowledges that every learner absorbs knowledge at a different pace, especially in deeper subjects such as philosophy, anatomy, and therapeutic understanding. The estimated learning time, therefore, serves as a guideline for depth and scope, not as a limitation on learning.
In essence, the “hour equivalence” helps standardise learning outcomes, while the actual journey of yoga learning remains flexible, personal, and ongoing.
The Yoga Certification Board (YCB) is a body under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, responsible for standardizing yoga education, teacher qualifications, and therapist certifications across India and internationally.
The course is conducted in an online live format (conducted through G-meet and Microsoft Teams), ensuring real-time interaction between students and teachers. It includes guided practice sessions, theory classes, doubt-clearing, and teaching methodology training.
No. This course is open to both Indian and international students. Since the training as well as examination is conducted online, physical presence in India is not required.
No. Session recordings of live classes are not provided. Live participation is essential for posture correction, real-time guidance, interaction, and meaningful discussions, which are not possible through recordings.
Additionally, regular attendance helps maintain discipline and consistency in practice, both of which are fundamental qualities of a yoga teacher. Once you begin teaching professionally, missing classes frequently is not practical, and this training is designed to cultivate that responsibility from the start.
Yes. Upon successful completion of the training and certification, you can begin teaching yoga classes independently or apply for teaching roles. For Government recognition, clearing the YCB examination is recommended.
The certification issued is aligned with Yoga Certification Board (YCB) standards under the Ministry of AYUSH. It reflects structured, syllabus-based yoga education recognized at the national level.
No. This course follows YCB (Government of India) standards, not Yoga Alliance. YCB and Yoga Alliance are two separate systems with different frameworks and objectives.
You can read the teacher's profile here.
Yes. Complete study material is provided in digital format and can be accessed through our website and mobile app. The digital material is non-downloadable to ensure content integrity.
If you prefer studying from a physical book, you may choose to purchase the printed version from Amazon. Please note that the content of the book and the digital material is the same, and purchasing the hard copy is entirely optional, not mandatory.
YCB examinations are conducted every month. The upcoming exam dates are shared regularly with students through the official community WhatsApp groups.
There is no pressure from our side to appear for the examination immediately after the course. Students are encouraged to take the exam only when they feel fully prepared.
Once you decide your preferred exam month, we assist you with the exam booking process.
Currently, the examinations are conducted in online mode through our authorized PrCB partner, MSPL.
The practical classes are conducted strictly for a period of 3 months, as per the course structure.
However, understanding that theoretical learning benefits from repetition and continued exposure, students are allowed to continue attending the online live theory classes even after the completion of the 3-month practical training.
You may attend the theory sessions until you clear the examination, and even after the exam, should you wish to stay connected for continued learning and conceptual clarity.
No. Ayushman Yog is a private yoga education institute that prepares students for the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) examinations. Please note that all yoga teaching and training institutions are private bodies
Yoga teaching and training institutions are private bodies. The Government of India, through the Yoga Certification Board (YCB), does not run teaching institutes directly. Instead, it affiliates and authorises examination bodies, known as Professional Certification Bodies (PrCBs), to conduct YCB examinations.
Students may choose to study through any private yoga school, such as Ayushman Yog, or may even opt for self-study by using prescribed study material, especially in the case of experienced practitioners who may not require intensive classroom support.
However, YCB examinations can only be conducted by YCB-approved PrCBs. Ayushman Yog currently has a tie-up with one such authorised body, MSPL, through which eligible students may appear for the official YCB examinations.
No. YCB certifications are valid for a period of five years.
After the validity period, certificate holders are required to renew their certification by appearing for an online viva examination, subject to the applicable renewal fee. Upon successful completion of the renewal process, the certification is extended for another five years.
Yes. The study material shared in digital format comes with lifetime access. Once enrolled, you can continue to access and refer to the material even after the course duration and examination, for revision and continued learning.
No. Preparing for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 is not a compulsory step-by-step process. Any level can be prepared independently by a student.
This is because, in India, many practitioners have been practising yoga for several years, sometimes decades, through traditional lineages, self-practice, or teaching experience. It would not be fair or practical for the government to mandate that such practitioners must first complete Level 1 before becoming eligible for higher levels. Hence, the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) has intentionally kept the system open and flexible.
For this reason, at Ayushman Yog, we structure our training accordingly. The practical training for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 in our school is conducted in a single, intensive batch (Never exceeding 15 students per batch). From a yogic and pedagogical perspective, reducing practical exposure based on level does not serve the purpose of authentic learning or competent teaching.
For example, limiting a Level 1 candidate to only 35 asanas from the syllabus would not be sufficient to develop embodied understanding or teaching confidence.
Therefore, all levels receive comprehensive and intensive practical training. The distinction between levels lies primarily in the depth of theory, not in reduced practice. As the level increases, the theoretical understanding becomes progressively deeper, more analytical, and more philosophical.
Based on individual inclination:
-
Those interested in deeper philosophy and conceptual understanding may directly prepare for Level 3.
-
Those who prefer a gradual theoretical progression may choose Level 1 or Level 2.
-
Each level independently enables a candidate to teach yoga. However, should an aspirants wishes to apply in a specific studio or a government job, then the required certifications should be done.
This approach allows us to honour the traditional way yoga is learned while remaining aligned with modern certification requirements.
