About the training
The training lays out a strong foundation for holistically deepening the understanding and practices of yoga. Yoga has become popular in this modern age for its physical practices (“asana”) and another aspect that is an essential part of yoga has been largely looked over.
In the training, Rudra Yogpeeth makes sure to integrate well-rounded studies of yoga and bring spirituality into the teachings and practices to support the personal and spiritual growth of the students.
Their yoga teacher training will help to expand your knowledge and experience in life changing ways. Living an authentic yogic lifestyle in their ashram will help bring you deeper inside yourself to discover your inner yogi.
Benefits
This intensive life changing course is created for serious practitioners who would like to deepen their personal practice and for individuals who intend to set up their own yoga class and studio. You will possess an in-depth knowledge of the history and origin of yoga asanas and yoga philosophy.
You will also have an extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology to teach safe classes to students of different ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.
