200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course

Our 200-hour yoga teacher training in Mysore (Mysuru) is taught in the traditional Ashtanga and Hatha yoga approach, and is a Yoga Alliance registered (RYS 200) programme. In addition, graduates also receive IYA certification. As a result, it is built to turn committed practitioners into confident teachers. Read on for the full details of this entry-level teaching qualification.

Purpose of IYA Certification
Indian Yoga Association (IYA) designed this certification to set a common, dependable baseline: wherever an IYA-certified teacher goes on to teach, students can trust they’re learning from someone trained to a consistent, recognized standard of yoga knowledge and skill.

What You Receive

● 200-Hour Yoga Alliance completion certificate. Eligibility to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200.

What is the advantage for a member?
● IYA maintains a public portal listing certified Yoga professionals under this scheme. So certification isn’t just a piece of paper, therefore it’s visibility and credibility that opens doors to teaching work.
● As an RYT 200 you are listed in Yoga Alliance’s global directory, which studios and employers abroad often look for.” Confirm this wording against Yoga Alliance’s website

The Role of the Indian Yoga Association

Guidelines for Students & Guests

Once you’ve enrolled in a course at Manjushree Yoga Vidyalaya, we ask every student to embrace the following guidelines in the spirit of being part of our yoga community — not as restrictions, but as shared commitments that keep the learning environment focused and peaceful for everyone.

Manjushree Yoga Vidyalaya is a place of practice and learning, not a hotel or guesthouse. We ask all students to be mindful of this, keeping in mind that our shared goal is to protect an atmosphere that supports genuine reflection and deep learning for every student present:

  1. In keeping with a sattvic lifestyle, non-vegetarian food (meat, fish, or eggs) is not permitted on the premises.
  2. Please maintain quiet and stillness during all classes; personal questions are welcome after the session ends.
  3. For everyone’s safety and wellbeing, residential students are asked to return to the premises no later than 10 p.m.
  4. All students are expected to attend scheduled classes, meditation sessions, and prayers regularly. Exemptions are only made for genuine health reasons.
  5. Smoking, alcohol, and any form of intoxicants are strictly not permitted on the premises.
  6. Please keep music at a low volume within your accommodation, and avoid playing any music after 10 p.m.
  7. This is your space as much as ours — we ask all students to be respectful of one another and help maintain a warm, family-like atmosphere rooted in care and peace. Anger and conflict have no place here.
  8. Please help us keep the premises clean. Karma Yoga, small acts of care for shared spaces are part of the practice itself.
  9. Please dress respectfully at all times. (avoid tank tops, or excessively tight or revealing clothing when you are around Mysuru).
  10. Friends, relatives, or outside visitors are not permitted inside residential areas, but are welcome to meet students in the reception area.
  11. Residential students are expected to wash and dry their own clothing; a paid laundry service is also available at a reasonable charge.
  12. Room or accommodation changes require prior approval, and may occasionally be necessary due to operational or seasonal circumstances.

We see this less as a transaction and more as a shared experience — a community coming together around practice, discipline, and mutual respect. We ask that all students help maintain that spirit, treating fellow students, staff, and the space itself with the same care they’d want in return, and leaving anger and conflict outside the gates.
