It was a unique experience for me. My main moto to pursue this course was to get certified and start my own small yoga studio that can motivate me to enhance my practice to another level. However, this 1 month training was beyond just a mere certification. For me, it was a perfect amalgamation of knowledge and self discovery. The school has fantastic and very efficient team. One can experience a yogi lifestyle with most comfortable stay and appetizing meals, it felt home away from home!! The place has most peaceful and spiritual aura that filled me with complete bliss!! The breathtaking and calming view of the Ganges that flows in the heart of the city created a ripple of tranquility. And practicing yoga beside it is an experience of a lifetime.
The teachers are knowledgeable and very upfront to guide and support learning at all times. The course modules are very well structured. I am great full to the entire team for doing such an outstanding job! Thank you so much!! Namaste!!
