About the training
This yoga and Ayurveda teacher training is a perfect education for anyone looking to become a yoga teacher and deepen their personal yoga practice, meditation journey, and knowledge of the health and wellness science of Ayurveda.
Why take this training?
This training aims to dive deep into what it means to practice yoga: By learning to love and care for your body and your home in this world, and by restoring your inner connection through discovering the true self. The training is rooted in Bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion. Open to all levels, this training is equally beneficial for someone looking to become a yoga teacher and share their passion with the world, as for someone seeking to deepen their personal yoga and meditation practice.
Beyond yoga, students will be introduced to its sister science, Ayurveda. Ayur stands for life, and Veda for knowledge, therefore Ayurveda represents the ‘science of life’, an ancient medicinal and lifestyle tradition that perfectly complements yoga. The two together form a perfect toolset for a healthy, wholesome lifestyle. Keep the body healthy with yoga asana and Ayurvedic healing and nutrition principles, maintain mental and emotional peace, and find balance with mindfulness lifestyle practices.
Hari OM Yoga teacher training aims to deliver the highest quality yoga asana, philosophy, anatomy, and Ayurveda teachings, combining experts in the respective fields and offering all the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for the students to complete their journey.
