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 present day in the Sivananda lineage.
During the programs you live in close contact with Shri Yogi Hari, an adept Yogi, who will teach you and in spire and enlighten you. The classes in the training will be held by Shri Yogi Hari himself and his experienced senior disciples.
Away from your home, business, appointments, everyday responsibilities and the distractions of the home environment, you can focus all your attention on the course and experience the positive benefits of Sadhana.
Throughout the programs each moment is lived with awareness, bringing about growth and transformation.
The programs are limited to twenty five students giving everyone the opportunity for much individual attention and ample teaching practice time.
The course will give you a solid foundation and enough knowledge of Yoga for a lifetime of practice and the skills necessary to pass these teachings on to others.
The experiences of two graduates
Amanda
"Hi. My name is Amanda and I am fifteen years old. This past June , when I was still fourteen, I completed Yogi Hari’s Beginner Teacher’s Training Course. I would like to tell you about my experience and the ways in which it has truly changed my life.
"As you can imagine, I walked into the ashram on day one feeling really nervous. All the other students were at least ten years older than me! As it turned out I had nothing to fear, and we became friends right away. Over the next couple of weeks we started to feel like we were one big family. All of us, including Tara, Omkara, and the little yogis supported one another as we moved through this transformation of mind, body, and spirit.
"The bell rang, calling us to meditation at five thirty in the morning! It wasn't always a welcome wake up call, but by six I unfailingly found myself sitting cross-legged on the floor, ready to begin the day with meditation. The daily schedule was rigorous, but I greatly enjoyed the challenge and discipline it provided. I found each activity to be fulfilling in its own way. Yogi Hari's lectures were always inspiring. I absorbed so much knowledge and it was never boring. One of my favorite activities was chanting, because it was so releasing and came right from the soul. Of course everyone looked forward to mealtimes, and were often involved in helping to prepare them for karma yoga. I quickly adjusted to, and felt the benefits of eating twice a day. This transition was made a lot easier by Tara's delicious vegetarian cuisine! The Hatha (asana) Yoga practice was challenging, but fun. When I started this course, I was almost a beginning student myself- I couldn't even touch my toes! My practice improved greatly throughout the course. Each day I discovered newfound flexibility and strength. Now I can perform more advanced postures which I had believed were impossible for me to accomplish before.Karma Yoga was my favorite time of day. I learned the importance of patience and having a positive attiude. I experienced the joy and peace selfless service brings to your heart during Karma Yoga.
"Yogi Hari is an amazing teacher, mentor, and friend. I was priveledged to spend two weeks with him and his beautiful family. I continue to practice yoga every day, and I have received an opportunity to teach here in my community in Northern California. I am calling my teaching practice Harmony Yoga. I highly recommend the Teacher's Training Course to men and women of all ages. This experience continues to nurture my body, mind and spirit. Thank you, Yogi Hari!
"Om Shanti! - Amanda."
Omkara
Hi,
My name is Omkara, and I would like to share with you the experience that I have had with Sampoorna Yoga and encourage you to participate in the Sampoorna Yoga Teacher’s Certification Course and the Advanced Course. I have been blessed with the opportunity to participate in both of them in November 2005.
When I came for the 200 hours SYTCC , I did not really know what to expect. I wanted to deepen my knowledge and understanding about Yoga and also to have the proper foundation and experience to pass that knowledge on to others. After the first time that I met Shri Yogi Hari, I knew that I came to the right place. I cannot even begin to describe how much the experience in the Ashram exceeded my expectations. I loved the course so much that I decided to stay for the Advanced course that began the same day the beginners course ended.
The Advanced course was a continuation of the amazingly transforming experience that I was going through. It gave me such a deep understanding about what Yoga really is, and as I continue to teach, I realize how much I have learnt in those 5 weeks.
I have never met anybody like Yogi Hari. He is truly an enlightened Master! His teachings are so clear and inspiring. His approach is deep, simple and practical, and helps people from every background live a richer, happier life based on lasting Yogic values.
Most places that teach Yoga just keep people on the surface in superstition and delusion. Not Yogi Hari! He is so sincere and straightforward in his teachings; he has risen above all delusions and illusions and he is a divine lamp that lights the light of knowledge within you. What a master like him can teach you in 2 weeks, will take other people years to teach!
Before I came to the course I was addicted to Marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, unhealthy food, and other degrading activities. My body was full of toxins and therefore my face was covered with real bad Acne. I was a real confused person, with no real goal and purpose in life.
Before the course started I was afraid that it will be hard for me to quit all these addictions. My mind was trying to find excuses to stay in its own degraded state. I was really amazed how easy it was for me to stop with all of that. My time in the Ashram gave me the strength of mind and will power to stay away from all of these degrading activities. The knowledge of Sampoorna Yoga has given me the tools to find happiness from within and not be dependant on external things for that.
When I came back home, my family and friends were amazed at the incredible transformation that I had gone through in the time that I spent in the Ashram. My face completely cleared up, my body became lighter and much healthier, and my mind became so much clearer and focused. I look and feel so much happier, healthier and alive now!
As I go on teaching Sampoorna Yoga, I realize what an amazing system of teaching and practice it is. From my own experience and from my students’ experiences I know that the improvement is so fast as compared with other systems of Yoga. People can really feel what an intelligent, well balanced and harmonious practice it is. That is because it was developed into perfection by Yogi Hari in over 40 years of practice and teaching. New doors and teaching opportunities open up for me all the time because of this.
My 18 year old brother took the course recently and now he joined the Israeli army for his 3 years mandatory service. The experience that he had in the Ashram helps him to deal with the challenges that he is faced with in a very positive way.
I truly believe that everybody in the world should participate in the courses that are offered by Shri Yogi Hari. He is already 64 years old and time goes by… Take advantage of this incredible opportunity while it is still there!!!
