YCB Level 2- Online Yoga Teachers Training

The YCB Level 2 - Yoga Wellness Instructor course is an initiative by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, designed to provide structured and authentic knowledge of Yoga to beginner aspirants. At Ayushman Yog, we prepare students thoroughly for this syllabus along with additional high-value topics such as Disease Management through the DPYT Model, Ashtanga Primary Series, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, and Kriya Practicals in 5-day-a-week online live practical classes. Along with that students get twice in a week theory class to ensure a deeper understanding and thorough exam preparation. Students get lifetime access to complete study material and an LMS. The study material is very rich and extensive with clear written content, downloadable audio lectures, downloadable tutorial videos, illustrations, quizzes etc.

The depth and rigour of this program is equivalent to a 400 Hours Yoga Teacher Training, reflecting the significantly advanced scope of practice and theory it encompasses. Upon completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion from Ayushman Yog and are also eligible to appear for the official YCB Level 2 Examination to earn the government-recognised designation of Yoga Wellness Instructor under the Ministry of AYUSH.

YCB Level 2 Yoga Teachers Training- Self Paced Format

​

For those who prefer to learn at their own pace, from anywhere, anytime, the YCB Level 2 Yoga Wellness Instructor course is also available in a self-paced format. The syllabus, study material, and depth of content remain identical to the online live programme. Students get lifetime access to the same rich and extensive LMS, complete with clear written content, downloadable audio lectures, downloadable tutorial videos, illustrations, and quizzes.

The key difference is the learning approach. In the self-paced format, there are no scheduled live classes. Students study independently, working through the material at a rhythm that suits their schedule and lifestyle. This format is best suited for disciplined, self-motivated learners who are comfortable taking ownership of their study schedule and do not require the structure of live sessions to stay on track.

FAQs: YCB Level 2- Yoga Wellness Instructor
(Equivalent to 400 Hours of Structured Yoga Teacher Training)

The Yoga Wellness Instructor (equivalent to 400 Hours yoga teachers training) Yoga Teacher Training is a foundational professional yoga education program designed to prepare aspirants to teach yoga safely and authentically. This course covers practical yoga training, theory, anatomy, physiology, teaching methodology, and deeper philosophy, as prescribed under the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) Level-2 syllabus.

The YCB Level 2- Yoga Wellness Instructor course is available in two formats: Online Live and Self-Paced.

  • The Online Live format is conducted through Google Meet, ensuring real-time interaction between students and teachers, with guided practice sessions, theory classes, doubt-clearing, and teaching methodology training. This format suits students who value mentorship, enjoy live discussion, and prefer learning alongside a teacher.

  • The Self-Paced format offers the same curriculum through recorded sessions and complete study material, allowing students to learn at their own pace and convenience. This format suits students who are confident working through the material independently and do not need close mentorship.

​Yes. Upon successful completion of the training, you will be awarded a Certificate of Completion by Ayushman Yog, which allows you to begin teaching yoga classes independently or apply for teaching roles. You are also eligible to appear for the official YCB Level 2 examination. For government recognition, clearing the YCB Level 2 examination is recommended.

Absolutely, you're fully covered on that front. As the pioneer school to prepare complete study material for every YCB course, Ayushman Yog gives enrolled students digital access to everything they need through our website and mobile app (kept non-downloadable, just to protect the integrity of the content). And if you're someone who loves having a physical book in hand while you study, that's an option too, our printed guidebooks are available on Amazon, with the exact same content as the digital version. Totally your call, not something you need to buy.

Yes, and that's actually one of the nicer parts of enrolling. Once you're in, the digital study material is yours for good, well past the course duration and even after you've cleared your exam. So whenever you want to go back and revisit a concept, brush up before teaching a class, or just refresh your memory years down the line, it's all still right there waiting for you.

YCB Level 1- Yoga Protocol Instructor is a foundational course for beginners, while YCB Level 2- Yoga Wellness Instructor goes deeper into wellness-focused yoga, preparing you to teach yoga for illness prevention and wellness promotion in settings like schools, studios, workplaces, and wellness centres.

Completing YCB Level 1 first is not mandatory. Since YCB certification levels can be prepared independently, a beginner or someone with existing yoga experience can directly enrol in Level 2 based on their comfort with the syllabus depth, However doing YCB Level 1 will surely be helpful in understanding the YCB Level 2 material better. 

A certified Yoga Wellness Instructor can teach in schools, yoga studios, corporate wellness programmes, and primary health care or wellness centres, and becomes eligible to apply for select government yoga roles. 

YCB Level 2- Yoga Wellness Instructor: A 400 Hour Yoga Teacher Training for a Deeper Yogic Journey

​

At Ayushman Yog, we've built our name on helping yoga practitioners turn their passion into a real, recognised teaching career. And if you're already comfortable on the mat and ready to go beyond the basics, the YCB approved 400 Hours Yoga Teacher Training, known officially as YCB Level 2- Yoga Wellness Instructor under the Ministry of AYUSH, is exactly where that next step happens.

​

Here's something worth knowing: you don't strictly need to have completed Level 1 first. YCB levels can be prepared independently, so if you already have some grounding in yoga through your own practice or teaching experience, you can walk straight into this program. That said, having gone through Level 1 does give you a real head start, since the foundational concepts, terminology, and practice discipline you build there make it easier to absorb the greater depth Level 2 asks of you. Either path works, it simply comes down to where you're starting from.

​

The training itself takes you deeper into asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, and teaching methodology, everything you'd expect from a serious curriculum, but shaped to prepare you specifically as a Wellness Instructor, someone equipped to teach yoga for illness prevention and wellness promotion in schools, studios, workplaces, and wellness centres.

​

And however you like to learn, we've got you covered. Prefer real-time guidance, live discussion, and a teacher walking you through each step?

  • Our Online Live format, run over Google Meet, gives you exactly that.

  • Prefer setting your own pace, studying on your own schedule, and moving through the material independently? Our Self-Paced format offers the same complete curriculum through recorded sessions and full study material, no live classes required.

​

Once you're through the syllabus, you're eligible to sit the official YCB Level 2 Examination and walk away with the government recognised title of Yoga Wellness Instructor, a certification that can also open doors to select government yoga roles across India.

​​

So if you're ready to start teaching others, we'd love to have you with us. Apply through the application form and find a batch that fits your life.
