Yoga Teacher Training (TTC) at Sivananda Ashrams in India
Course Outline:
This one-month course is a profound experience that helps to establish a firm foundation of inner discipline. The course is based on the traditional gurukula system (’guru’s house’) in which students live and study with the teacher. The Teachers Training Course (TTC) is an intensive and transformative experience taught by disciples of Swami Vishnudevananda. The curriculum includes instruction in asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, chanting, mantras, yoga philosophy, diet, kriyas (cleansing exercises to purify the body) and study of the Bhagavad Gita.
A sincere desire to learn and openness to yogic techniques is required – a basic knowledge of yoga postures and philosophy is preferred, but not essential.
Students will develop the skills to teach yoga asana as well as improve their own personal practice.
Certificate:
An internationally recognized certificate from the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre (ISYVC) organization is awarded on successful completion of the course. The diploma is entitled ‘Yoga Siromani’.
The course is officially recognized by the Yoga Alliance in the USA and Canada for the 200 hours Registered Yoga School Standards.

I had a wonderful experience in Nasik India at Yoga Vidya Dham (http://www.yogapoint.com). An ashram devoted to promoting the teaching of Patangali located amidst the most breathtaking scenic panorama. This yoga university not only provides teacher training to foreign and Indian yoga teachers, but also runs a large number of non-profit yoga therapy clinics throughout central India. The teachers are beautiful souls and the memories of them, their wisdom and the sunsets from Om hill will be forever etched into my mind.
