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 experience of a graduate
"Yogi Hari's Ashram, in which the SYTCC was held, was a blessing I could not have imagined. The Ashram was his home. Living, working, doing asanas, learning how to cultivate purity in our bodies, mind, and heart within the context of home and family awakened a clarity that had been absent in my life. The SYTCC was not just a course; it was an example of living daily life with spiritual awareness. It could not have been more rewarding."
Diet
You will enjoy two healthy vegetarian meals daily, served buffet style. The diet includes simple and deliciously prepared fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, tofu and some dairy (optional).
