Our Objective of Yoga Education

As Swami Vivekananda says "Education is a man making, life making, character building assimilation of ideas". Our yoga education courses are designed to systematically train the student in the techniques of yoga and to begin his/her own journey of self-development and greater self-awareness. We believe in practice before preaching. Benefits of taking this course are: You will be able to develop:

• The ability to integrate body, mind, and soul through various yoga techniques

• Improved memory, creativity & calmness through pranayama, meditation

Yoga Bharati believes in inculcating yoga culture to the young hearts. We provide the youth with all the training that adults get, but with special breakout sessions so yoga education is given at their level of understanding. We mentor them through our special youth yoga teachers. We will enable them for yoga teaching by our special mentors. Please contact us for details.

On average, YFC can take 2-3 months, while YTT and YYTT can take 6-9 months to complete the entire training. Module 1 is a structured classroom training. Module 2 is based on the announced schedule, and rest of the modules are self-paced. We believe that yoga training is a slow process involving in-depth sadhana and can’t be done in a hurry.
