Daily Schedule of Ashram
Morning Discipline
The daily schedule begins early in the morning to align practice with the natural rhythm of the body and mind. Early hours are traditionally considered the most suitable time for yogic practices, as the atmosphere is calm and distractions are minimal. Starting the day early helps students develop discipline, sharpen focus, and approach physical practice with greater awareness and mental clarity.
Balanced Structure
The schedule is carefully designed to maintain a balance between physical practice and theoretical understanding. Asana sessions are complemented by subjects such as yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, and teaching methodology, allowing students to understand not just how to practice, but why certain methods are followed. This balance ensures that physical effort is supported by intellectual clarity.
Rest and Sustainability
Adequate time is also provided for rest and recovery throughout the day. Breaks between sessions, balanced meal timings, and evening relaxation practices help the body and mind reset after intensive training hours. This approach reduces the risk of exhaustion and supports sustainable learning, allowing students to remain physically stable and emotionally balanced.

Mindset & Preparation for Advanced Yoga Training
Entering a 300 hour yoga teacher training requires a mindset that goes beyond physical ability. At this level, the focus shifts toward patience, discipline, and willingness to observe one’s own habits and limitations. Students benefit most when they approach the training with openness, readiness to learn, and acceptance that progress comes through consistency rather than quick results.
Advanced yoga training often challenges both body and mind. There may be moments of physical fatigue, mental resistance, or emotional release. Maintaining a calm and balanced mindset helps students navigate these phases with awareness instead of frustration. Letting go of comparison, expectations, and performance-oriented thinking allows deeper learning to take place during practice and study.
Preparation for the course also involves mental readiness to follow a structured routine. Early mornings, fixed schedules, and disciplined practice require commitment and responsibility. Students who approach the training with respect for the process often find that the routine itself becomes a powerful tool for growth, clarity, and self regulation.
A supportive mindset also includes willingness to receive feedback and reflect on one’s teaching approach. The training environment encourages self-correction, humility, and continuous improvement. By cultivating this mindset, students are better prepared to absorb the depth of the programme and carry its lessons forward into long-term practice and teaching.
