You will also learn to access the field of all possibilities within to create, love, joy, happiness and abundance in everyday life, and awareness of your real nature, which is always sublime and blissful.

Program Details
The Yoga Teacher training course, under the guidance of Dr. Madan Bali PhD with his expertise on different aspects of YOGA and its highly evolved techniques, aims to overcome bondage from the human condition and rediscover peace, harmony and the joy of living.
This Yoga training offers students a unique opportunity to draw on common aspects from diverse yoga traditions with the goal to develop a comprehensive yogic system of healing.
The word 'yoga' has come to be associated with a kind of physical exercise. Whereas, in the right sense, it is the development of consciousness that gradually evolves in meaning, and deepens in knowledge in order to inspire the ambition to live a fuller life.
Phase 1:
We will explore the physical components that are essential to the practice, both as a means of improving overall health, and as a method of healing others with a variety of therapeutic needs.
Phase 2:
The second phase of the yoga teacher training program will build upon the physical foundation to move deeper into the fusion of mind-body-spirit. This work will increase our power of awareness, love, and compassion. It will expand the sense of self and lift our own veil to see through to the luminosity of who we truly are.
Ultimately this training course is a personal and shared journey to further discover, interact with, and manifest our blissful and sacred selves.
The yoga teacher's training program will prepare and enable teachers to teach yoga in a meaningful way as a practical methodology for personal development and growth in their students' physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. It will enhance your discriminating capacity to impact and share your personal experiences in helping your students to enrich their lives.
The yoga teacher training course will run through a period of 4 months with 6-8 hours of training per week. The days and times will be decided in consultation with the participants.
