Our educational system is based on the gurukulam system (traditional way of Indian teaching) in which students live in an ashram and study with the teacher. We offer excellent training in teaching skills which prepare students to be confident and competent yoga instructors. The aim of our education is to guide each student to deepen their understanding of yoga and the practical use of such understanding in every day life. In this way, Yoga becomes both a transition and a transformation for the devoted yoga student.
