You – As a yoga teacher

As the name suggests “Yoga teacher training”, the initial goal of this course in to develop “you” as a perfect & learned yoga teacher who can then develop and spread yoga to the world. The personal work of yoga practice is the best way to prepare to teach yoga classes, but we will also look more deeply into methods of teaching. During the course we will practice aspects of yoga teaching on each other, which will include planning and teaching classes and sequences, using props and aids and helping students to modify poses so that they can get the most out of the practices. Upon completion of the course You will be awarded the Yoga Alliance certification.

We cordially welcome and invite students from all levels, any country, caste or creed. We are not bound by any boundaries and we treat each person as our own brother and sisters. What we teach and deliver is “harmony, peace & love” to our every student and in turn expect them to forward these to their students.
