Needless to say it is a different experience than the hitherto existing Sivananda Yoga Teachers’ Training. But it appears that the online-version brings a great amount of nearness and authenticity. You will learn how to transform your living place into a mini center of spiritual power, which will inspire you to maintain a systematic practice at home after the course.
Prerequisite for participation is the sincere desire to learn and to open up to the techniques of yoga. It is of advantage to become acquainted with the basic exercises of yoga and the principles of yoga philosophy even before the training, but it is not absolutely necessary. In the online training, you will learn to teach yoga postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation practice for beginners and intermediate levels, as well as to improve your personal yoga practice.

The training includes practical cooking instructions. During the four weeks, you will learn to prepare healthy and tasty vegetarian meals. Guest speakers and artists will share their knowledge in the fields of Ayurveda, mantra chanting, and Indian arts.

Once Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm is able to open again, they will schedule a 9-day immersion retreat for all the online TTC graduates to come to the ashram and learn in-person with the teachers.
