The "Pracheen" benefits
As aforementioned, the course (RYT 200) lasts 2 months, and offline students will learn according to the syllabus, with practical sessions completing in around 2 months along with students learning other subjects for 1.5 months via online classes. The sole distinction is that online students will only attend practical classes and other subject classes via online medium, whilst offline students will take practical classes at the Pracheen Yoga Institute in Lucknow. The certification exams will be announced during the sessions. The certificates will be provided to the students within one months following the result.
However, with Pracheen Yoga as the host, the offline students will receive a certificate from Pracheen Yoga as a reward for participating in 1 month of internship (if eligible), which will help them get recognized for their hours of hard work and practice.
