Yoga Teacher Training in India
Program Overview
Introduction
Why would you consider Yoga Teacher Training in India?
Well, yoga is far more complex than an exercise for physical fitness and stretching tight muscles. In our modern society, yoga is often deconstructed to be only a shadow of its complete whole.
Yoga is a philosophy, art, and science which spans every area of life. Yoga is a holistic system of health, healing, and spiritual connection. We offer yoga teacher training in India based on these beliefs.
To study these in India, the homeland of Yoga and the deep mystical healing philosophies, only adds to your life changing experience.
Authentic Wisdom
Our teacher training courses revive the authentic potency of yogic wisdom. We teach the practice of yoga in its complete form so that it becomes a lifestyle, a way of life. Rather than just being a person who does some yoga, you can BE a yogi in the full sense of the word. By training in India, you are surrounded by that authenticity in every moment.
Full Immersion
Our residential Yoga Teacher Training in India program is a fully immersive course that will allow you to experience yogic living in its entirety. From daily pranayama, meditation, and asana practice to the healthy sattvic diet, from philosophy classes to the art of teaching workshops, from kirtan singing to karma yoga – you will live and breathe yoga.
A Supportive Community
Whilst residing in a kind, loving and supportive yoga community, you will acquire all the necessary guidance to become a fully accredited yoga teacher certified by Yoga Alliance.
