Yasodhara Ashram-trained teachers work from their experience and rely on their own foundation of yoga to guide and inspire others. We aim to build this foundation in all of our teachers. Our goal is to promote instruction of the highest quality and encourage an experiential approach to yoga. Each of our certified teachers attempts to live the teachings of yoga and bring forth the best in their students. We encourage our trained teachers to approach teaching yoga as an offering.


Yoga Development Course 2008 (Intensive) January 10 (eve.)- April 7, 2008
       
 

Experience the transformative power of yoga on this comprehensive journey of self-discovery. Take time for yourself to clarify the quality and direction of your life.

Explore your values and goals in life. Who am I? What is the purpose of my life? Now that I have come this far, where do I want to go? How do I prepare for the rest of my life?


The Yoga Development Course is an intensive three-month program offering an introduction to the major branches of yoga, as well as an opportunity for self-development. Swami Radha's approach is based on allowing people to find their innermost authority, with an emphasis on personal reflection.

Study Swami Radha's teachings in: Hidden Language Hatha Yoga®, Kundalini & Dream Yoga, The Divine Light Invocation, Mantra & Karma Yoga, Life Seals® or the Straight Walk®,  Sacred Dance, and the Bhagavad Gita. The YDC offers in-depth exploration in groups, and time for personal reflection and practices.

The Yoga Development Course is a pre-requisite for all teacher training. For more information, including what a typical day looks like, guidelines, what to bring and financial considerations, click here.
