"Having
the opportunity to experience the Yoga Teacher Training Program
in India was a really pleasure. Undoubtedly, I am enriched by
the
experience and vastly more knowledgeable on Yoga Culture. My classes
will begin in 3 weeks which I am very excited about but more importantly
I have the understanding and confidence to provide my students
with
something worthwhile."

"I
find your method of teaching Hatha Yoga extremely efficient and
well tought.
I would have liked more teaching on meditation techniques and
perhapse
experience meditation (30 min) after morning or evening Yoga class.
Also an
extended course on diet and ayurveda would be nice addendum.
Overall experience was great and I thank you that you gave me
the possibility
to participate in the training and experience the path of Yoga."

"This is Wing Hing Tang (Steve).
Even though the training course has finished in such a short period
and has become the history in my life, but I still remember the
goods and almost forget the bads. One of my greatest acheivements
in this course is the miraculous weight loss (8 Kilos) which I
deeply thank to the diciplinary life in the ashram. Now the training
has granted me the key to open the door of Yoga, it is up to me
to perfect the art of yoga. If I have the queries, please lead
me the way.

The
experience in the ashram was to an even greater degree than
learning about yoga, an indept learning about myself. It helped
me to
become more conscious of myself and my sorroundings, develop patience,
tolerance, and observation. The methodoly and systematic process
as
well as the vast knowledge found in the teachers at the ashram
broadened the basis of my practice and teaching methods. It also
gave
me a wonderful opportunity to share who I am and where I come
from
with people from all over the world. Hari OM,

"A
few comments on the course......
- Standard was excellent
- Structure made it all very manageable
- Content very good and well balanced
- Support of Gandhar and staff was excellent
- Accommodation and food were a very high standard (even if I
did miss the spices)
- Would have loved some more space for open discussion of ideas.
- Overall an excellent course. I have already recommended it to
a few people."

"About
the course i wanna say is that its exactly i was looking for.
ive learned so much at the ashram and the most important thing
is that i feel so much change in my personality all over..ive
become more honest, sincere, calm, evolved and flexible of course
in just one month that if it was for more time than it could be
able to make us complete yogis..and above all i feel that my horizons
are more opened up to see the things..ive started observing myself
from inside without any partialities as far as i can do..so its
a complete change and i wish i could do more and more..and thank
u so much for giving me an oppportunity for the same..and for
all the knowledge u provide in that short period of time.."
