A four-week intensive course which covers all aspects of yoga in theory and practice.
The course is a profound personal experience in which the student’s daily life is fully integrated into the yoga training. By the end of the course the student will possess a firm foundation for teaching others as well as strengthening their own personal yoga practice. Among the many benefits are increased strength and flexibility, greater spiritual awareness, improved power of concentration, enhanced self-esteem and a new sense of self discipline. The course is based on the principle of the synthesis of yoga as taught by Swami Sivananda. As such the practice of Hindu devotional rituals are also part of the daily program. .
