Typical Daily Schedule
The Yoga Training program starts at 6:15 a.m. with a brief morning prayer and a pranayama session. The morning session for classical Yoga Postures (Hatha-Yoga) follows, followed by food. After that, we have two primary sessions: one on philosophy and the other on yoga anatomy, followed by a midday meal. After that, there will be some time for self-study and practice before we begin the afternoon and evening sessions of Vinyasa-Yoga Asanas, followed by Relaxation and Meditation.
There will be some inspiring cultural events, such as Satsang (devotional songs), talks on yoga-related topics, and audio and video courses. Weekly assignments will be part of the course since they allow you to get a deeper understanding of the themes and experiences via your yoga practices.

Fantastic team of teachers. I trained with Ankiit who is exceptional at what he does. His knowledge and expertise of the practice is outstanding. His teachings are authentic as well as progressive and I came away from the teacher training course feeling confident in my own abilities. He also allows pupils to find their own expression of the practice whilst guiding them within the wisdom and roots of yoga. I would highly recommend training with him if you want to not just learn yoga but to embody its rich historic values.
