Enroll in ashram training program in India by 2023

The asanas (yoga postures) are only one aspect of the yoga tradition. It is this one aspect in particular that has gained the most practitioners in the West. However, there is much more to discover. Our yoga teacher training gives you the opportunity to learn all aspects of yoga. You will experience how yoga is really meant and what yoga can actually be for you! To realize the complete wealth of yoga knowledge is almost impossible, because the knowledge is infinite and constantly increasing. Above all, we will present you the versatility of yoga methods, so that you can decide for yourself which method should enrich your life.

You should be physically and mentally healthy, but you do not necessarily need previous yoga experience. You should be at least 18 years old. Our yoga teacher training is not about yoga holidays or just practising the asanas – it is not a retreat! You should be willing to work on yourself. You should only enrol if you are willing to follow the rules of the ashram.
