200 Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training Course In Gokarna

One of India’s most essential and widely practiced cultural exports to the rest of the world is yoga. The secluded beaches of Gokarna, which combine the tranquility of the ocean with the mystique and allure of a bygone era, are perhaps the ideal setting for the practice of such a sublime art.

Gokarna is a center for spiritual education and attracts pilgrims throughout the year because it is located near some of the earliest shrines and temples and because of its longstanding connection to Lord Shiva.People go to India to study yoga in droves because, according to the yoga tradition, this is the best way to learn how to connect with one’s inner spiritual self.

In the end, the fact that beach yoga is done on the beach is one of the best reasons to do it and should be considered first and foremost.

Most likely, after your yoga class, the beach is the first place you go to relax and get some fresh air.To continue reaping the benefits of being outside, you could also try spending about an hour or so relaxing in the sand.It is one of the most effective ways to bringing about internal and external harmony and brings mind and body together as one.

At Shree Hari Yoga, a serene and environmentally friendly resort located in Gokarna, you will be totally immersed in the yogic way of life and learn about the true purpose of yoga and the historical practices associated with it.

What is Vinyasa Yoga & What will you learn?

Pranayama of Vinyasa Yoga

What to expect in a Vinyasa Yoga Asana class?

Important aspects of the modern Vinyasa Practice are summarised by these 5 pillars and you will learn how to integrate these principles into your asana flow:

• Heat
• Breath
• Flow
• Gaze (Drishti)
• Foundation (Hands, Feet, Core)

Mantras & Mudras

Mantras are considered as an important part of Vinyasa Yoga. When you recite mantras, the energy channels of the body open up, and you become more reception to the universe. It also aids one to focus the mind on the yoga practice. When you recite mantras, your stored emotions are released and you get the full benefits of the asanas.

Mudras are nothing but gestures, which you make with your hands and fingers mostly. There are nerves that pass through the fingertips, and each one is connected to a specific organ. When you press the same, you are actually providing therapeutic healing to those body parts.
