Yogic tip: Successful students spend time studying throughout the day!

Halfway through the two-weeks, we take an excursion to beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach for Sunrise Meditation, Yoga, and Brunch. Around noon, we return to the ashram, but you are welcome to spend the rest of the afternoon on your own and arrange your own return transportation.

Why a Residential Program?

The most effective way of learning and teaching is from direct experience.
This is the traditional teaching where you will inherit the fruits of the wisdom of the Rishis from ancient time to the present day in the Sivananda lineage.
During the programs, you live in close contact with your teacher. You have the privilege to study with Shri Yogi Hari, a self-realized Yogi.
Away from the distractions of the home environment, everyday responsibilities, business, and appointments, you will be amazed by how focused and attentive your mind will be to absorb this knowledge.
In Yogi Hari’s Ashram, you will live each moment of the program with awareness, bringing about growth and positive transformation.
Located in sunny South Florida, Yogi Hari’s Ashram offers a peaceful, natural, and healing environment.
You will enjoy two healthy, vegetarian meals daily, served buffet style. The diet includes simple and deliciously prepared ashram-grown fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and tofu.

Cost: $3,000

Special 50% Discount – $1,500

Includes: All instruction, course certificate, course manual, accommodations, and meals.

For over fifteen years, this training has cost $3,000, in line with most Yoga Teacher Training Courses currently offered. However, after teaching Yoga for over 40 years, Shri Yogi Hari decided to offer his world-renowned Yoga Teacher Training Course at a discounted rate to make Yoga training affordable.

Since Shri Yogi Hari began teaching Yoga, it has always been his desire to teach for free. But because the ashram is not supported by any organization or trust, the fees that students provide cover basic expenses, ashram maintenance, and organizational costs.

Even though the training is offered at a discount, this does not mean it is lacking in substance. In the presence of a self-realized master, Shri Yogi Hari, you will absorb more during this two-week training than you would learn at any other Yoga Teacher Training Course in the world.

– Nelsy

“If you are looking for an authentic training with more than just learning asanas, this is the right place. So much more than just getting a teaching certificate. Live, breathe, work, study yoga. Yogi Hari shares his vast knowledge with you every day. Highly qualified and knowledgeable disciples lead you through the Sampoorna practice with patience and great feedback. Living at the Ashram was an amazing and life-changing experience.”

Recommended Resources

You may have a busy life without much time for additional studying prior to your training. However, graduates of the TTC recommend a foundation in Sampoorna Yoga before coming to the ashram.

Therefore, we would like to strongly encourage you to review the following materials before your training.

1) Watch and Practice:

Sampoorna Hatha Yoga Level 1 by Shri Yogi Hari

This 73-minute video is the complete Hatha Yoga class that you practice and learn how to teach during your two-week training. The more often that you can practice with this video before your training, the easier it will be for you to memorize the sequence and be comfortable when you have the opportunity to teach. We recommend practicing with this video 3-4 times per week until you come to the training. Some students have found it helpful to practice with it every day so the Sampoorna Yoga sequence and system becomes natural and comfortable to them. It is available as a DVD or download from our website.

2) Read:

Sampoorna Yoga by Shri Yogi Hari

This book gives you an overview of Sampoorna Yoga and exposes you to the Yogic and Vedantic teachings that you will learn in the course. It includes many helpful question-and-answer sections that pertain to general Yogic knowledge and the evolution of your consciousness. This book is also available in Spanish and German.

3) Listen to:

Satsang 1 by Shri Yogi Hari

This album includes many of the chants and mantras that we use at the ashram in the practice of Nada Yoga, the science of divine vibration. We will be involved in Nada Yoga several times each day as a continuation of our meditation practice. Available as a CD or download from our website.
