The approach
What you practise.
Why you practise it.
How you teach it.
This training follows The Yoga Institute’s traditional Hatha yoga curriculum. Postures matter. So do breath, philosophy and the way yoga fits into ordinary life.
You’ll study the practice and learn how to communicate it: explaining clearly, working with different learners and giving useful feedback.
If that’s the kind of teaching you want to develop, it’s worth getting to know Sneha.
Your course leader
Learning with Sneha.
Sneha Arora founded Yogihearts in 2017. Her connection with The Yoga Institute in Mumbai began in 2006.
She has taught at the Institute and accompanied its director, Ma Hansaji, on international workshops. Today she is an official affiliate representing the Institute in the UK and UAE.
Alongside Hatha yoga, Sneha’s practice includes Bhakti yoga and Indian devotional music. The tradition is part of her life, as well as her teaching.
More about Sneha and Yogihearts →What you’ll learn
Inside the course.
You’ll spend time with the practice itself, its ideas and the skills involved in sharing it.
The practice
Asana, sun salutations, pranayama, meditation and kriyas—the traditional cleansing practices.
The understanding
Yoga philosophy, including Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika; anatomy, physiology, stress and the basics of Ayurveda.
The teaching
Communication, teaching methods, working with groups, adapting to different learners and giving supportive feedback.
How the days fit together
Time together.
Fewer journeys.
Twelve live training days, each on a Saturday or Sunday. Six are here at Phoenix; six are online.
The blend keeps time together in the studio while halving the journeys to Putney.
The full 200-hour course also includes substantial study and course work between those live sessions, including reading, writing and preparation. Before you decide, ask Sneha for the complete timetable and commitment.
“Sneha made it possible for us to fit the training into our schedules”

The place
Yogihearts’ training.

Sneha and Yogihearts lead the training. Phoenix hosts it. Course questions, applications and training arrangements go directly to Sneha.
Have a look around Phoenix →A few useful questions
Does “12 days” mean 12 weekends?
No. There are twelve individual live training days, each falling on a Saturday or Sunday: six at Phoenix and six online. Ask Sneha for the dated timetable.
How much study is there between days?
The 200-hour course includes substantial study, practice and assessment outside the twelve live training days, including reading, writing and preparation. Ask Sneha to walk you through the full commitment.
Is my experience right for this course?
Talk with Sneha about your practice and what you want from training. That conversation is more useful than trying to decide from a label such as “beginner” or “advanced”.
The next step
Get to know the person
you’ll be learning with.
Bring your questions about the teaching, your experience, the dates or the cost. A conversation with Sneha can help you decide whether this is your training.
