YOUR JOURNEY BEYOND THE MAT BEGINS HERE

28 Days | Yoga Alliance Certified | 200-Hour TTC Integrating Yogic Wisdom & Nervous System Science

This is a 28-day intensive, in-person Yoga Teacher Training designed for those seeking a deeper, fully embodied experience of yoga — as practice, as teaching, and as lived reality.


Led personally by Aje & Pratheesh, this training takes place at Hinterland Village, Kerala, where learning unfolds within the naturally regulating rhythms of village life, community, and nature.


This is not a fast-paced, performance-driven training.

It is a regulation-first, nervous system–informed immersion that supports sustainable embodiment, clarity, and teaching capacity — from the inside out.

Learn to teach yoga from steadiness, not strain.

By the end of this training, you will:

  • Be eligible to register as a Yoga Alliance Certified RYT 200 Teacher


  • Eligible for advanced YACEP Trauma-Informed Somatic Facilitation Training (30/50/100 hrs)
  • Deepen your personal practice and self-awareness
  • Gain the tools to safely guide others through healing and transformation
  • Learn how to hold trauma-sensitive, inclusive spaces with confidence and grace

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hinterlandvillage@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A consistent yoga practice and sincere interest in learning are more important than flexibility or advanced postures.

You do not need to be able to perform complex asanas.
You do need to be willing to:

  • slow down
     
  • listen to the body
     
  • learn from sensation and experience
     

This training values awareness and presence over physical achievement.


Most TTCs focus on posture, sequencing, and performance.
This training focuses on how the nervous system shapes movement, breath, attention, and behaviour.

Here, regulation is not a module — it is the foundation of:

  • how practices are taught
     
  • how learning is paced
     
  • how rest is honoured
     
  • how teaching responsibility is understood
     

You will learn why certain approaches overwhelm people, and how to teach in a way that supports safety, capacity, and long-term wellbeing.





No.
This is a yoga teacher training, not a therapy or trauma-treatment program.

That said, the training is nervous-system-informed, which means:

  • practices are paced carefully
     
  • language is non-invasive
     
  • safety and choice are prioritised
     
  • emotional responses are respected, not pushed
     

The work is held ethically, without catharsis, force, or personal disclosure pressure.


This training is right for you if:

  • you are drawn to depth rather than speed
     
  • you value safety over intensity
     
  • you want to understand your own nervous system deeply
     
  • you feel the responsibility of holding space for others
     

If the language and pace of this page resonate, that is often the clearest sign.


You will learn the foundations of Hatha Yoga, so some mobility is required, however practices can be adapted to your needs.


You will also learn somatic practices which
are slow, embodied, and sustainable.


The emphasis is on:

  • joint health
     
  • nervous system safety
     
  • breath and internal sensing
     
  • reducing unnecessary effort
     

This is not a physically challenging or endurance-based training.
