Govardhan School Of Yoga Is Now Yoga Alliance Certified.
Yoga is one of the fastest growing vogues of the 21st century and while the whole world is rushing on the progressive path of hedonism, Yoga has appeared as a sharp curve where the world seems to be turning back to the roots. While a majority of yoga schools limit the experience to a physical aspect of learning asanas and pranayama, there are few who allow you to explore the deeper aspects of this ancient science. Lately, there is also a rise in the seekers who are looking for a more transformative experience beyond the physical bending and breath control. Another positive development is that many yoga aspirants are seeking an integration in yoga with the profound philosophy of Bhagavad Gita along with the sublime experience of bhakti & kirtan. With an aim to cater to this growing need, Govardhan School of Yoga was commenced in 2015 at ISKCON Govardhan Ecovillage, Maharashtra, India and has been offering a 28 day residential Yoga Teacher Training Course. Having finished a stipulated requirement of 2 years, Govardhan School of Yoga is now officially a registered Yoga School for its 200-hour teacher training program as per international standards led by Yoga Alliance, USA.
In the past two years more than 100 students from over 10 different nationalities have graduated from Govardhan School of Yoga. Set in the serene ashram setup of the environmental haven of Govardhan Ecovillage, the students experience not just physical transformation, but a makeover of their broken hearts for their yoga practice is coupled with the visits of Vrindaban forest, attending Yamuna arati, serving the cows and rendering seva in the village. The 28-day course is scientifically organized to give students a broad understanding of the different systems of yoga, while equipping them with systematic teaching skills, understanding of human anatomy, fundamentals of Ayurveda and sattvik lifestyle. With daily morning & evening satsangs along with philosophy classes by the resident devotees, the course is designed not just to make a living off yoga, but to live by yoga! The next batch is starting March 4th 2017. Please visit http://www.ecovillage.org.in/yoga for further details.
