My 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training…
My 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Course at Vinyasa Yoga Ashram was an unforgettable experience.It went far beyond just learning yoga poses.Here's why I highly recommend them: First of all, I would like to thank everyone, from the teachers to the cooking team. They all did an incredible job. I would like to start with the teachers: 1. Ajay Sir: At first, I was confused about which yoga school to join in Rishikesh, as there are so many options. The moment I spoke to Ajay Sir, he gave a clear picture of the course and clarified my doubts whenever I called him. He was a big reason for me to join here.His "Sound Healing" class was so divine, and I truly went into a deeper state of peace. 2. Anupritha Ma'am:She is one of the most awesome people I have met. The day I met her with my family, everyone got attached to her, and even my mother-in-law was so impressed that she said she would take the course after me—LOL.She always has a lovely smile and is ready to help students anytime they need assistance.She took the Pranayama class for us, and I felt it was so deep that we needed more sessions.I even requested a separate week-long course for Pranayama.We also enjoyed the Shatkarma practice, which awakened our bodies. 3. Pradeep Sir:His teaching method for asana postures and alignment was excellent. He guided us clearly and precisely, always correcting us with gentle kindness. He has a deep understanding of anatomy and knows how to help each person safely deepen their practice.His anatomy lessons were very informative, using various materials and encouraging open discussions to answer our questions. 4. Sangam Sir:He led the Vinyasa Flow classes. He is very humble and a true yogi who shows kindness in all he does and says.His dedication to yoga is clear, and he has a strong, positive energy. 5. Prajna Ma'am:She guided us through various meditation techniques, and her calming presence was itself a meditation. We practiced different types of meditation, such as candle gazing, laughing meditation, and chakra opening, all led by her deep and caring voice. 6.Aravind Sir:He taught us Ashtanga and Aerial Yoga. His practice was very strict,and he ensured everyone was doing the asanas correctly. I loved the quick pace and strictness of his Ashtanga teaching. 7.Shadwalee Ma'am: Even though she taught just one day about the Ayurveda course, it was very lively. She was so knowledgeable that we learned how to make our food itself a medicine in our lives. 8.Assistant Teachers: I would like to thank Assistant Teacher Sneha. She helped throughout the Vinyasa and Ashtanga classes, was very caring, and guided everyone patiently. I loved the Restorative Yoga session, which was taken by Aravind Sir's assistant (sorry, I forgot the name), it was truly amazing. Thanks to the photography team too. 9.Lastly, I would like to give a big round of applause to the kitchen and cleaning teams. They cooked delicious sattvic food for us every day according to what is suggested for a yogic diet and our practices, which did not harm our stomach in anyways. "Big Kudos" and my humble "Namaste" to them. 10.Apart from this, there was a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The opening and closing ceremonies and kirtans were so beautiful and close to the heart. 11.We also had three excursions, one was a mountain trek, and the other two were in the River Ganga. I enjoyed my meditation in the River Ganga and found my inner peace there. 12.Facilities:The yoga halls were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with props, providing a comfortable space for practice. Additionally, the accommodation provided was comfortable and conducive to rest and rejuvenation after intensive training sessions. Finally, for those seeking to become a yoga teacher or deepen their yoga practice, Vinyasa Yoga Ashram offers transformative teachings. The combination of theoretical knowledge, practical teaching experience, and personal growth makes it a valuable experience. Vinyasa Yoga Ashram invites you to begin a path of personal growth and inner peace.
