Who should go for this package? :

This package is for those seeking a Certified Yoga Teacher Training program conducted by an authentic Indian master.

  • For both beginners and more experienced students.
  • For those who wish to explore the deeper knowledge of yoga – in a participative, sharing atmosphere as opposed to just a training one.
  • For those seeking to learn yoga based in the traditional gurukulam system (traditional way of Indian teaching) in which students live in an ashram and study with the teacher.
  • All those who are looking to learn this in the environment specifically suited for the purpose.

Description :

This course offers excellent training in teaching skills which prepare students to be confident and competent yoga instructors. The aim of our education is to guide each student to deepen their understanding of yoga and the practical use of such understanding in every day life. In this way, Yoga becomes both a transition and a transformation for the devoted yoga student.

During the course, students have the opportunity to learn a series of styles and variations of postures. The organization has designed and developed different techniques for each posture, thus helping the student to achieve many difficult and complicated postures in a simple way. These techniques develop flexibility, suppleness, awareness and most importantly, the deeper relation of the body to the mind, and the mind to the body. They are also a good preparation for advanced yoga practices.

The course also introduces the student to the very helpful use of props and blocks within the practice. Students will also have the opportunity to learn the practices of partner yoga which are immensely helpful for those who have stiff bodies, those of middle and advancing age and include important techniques in the practice of yoga therapy.

Upon successful completion of the course, each student will receive a diploma in their area of study. Our diploma is a highly valued and internationally recognized certification presented by International Vasishta Yoga Research Foundation.
