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 2009 January 10 (eve.)- April 7, 2009
       
 

Experience the transformative power of yoga on this comprehensive journey of self-discovery. Explore your values and goals in life. Who am I? What is life all about? What makes my life worthwhile? Where do I want to go? How do I prepare for the rest of my life?

The Yoga Development Course (YDC) is an intensive three-month program offering you both experience of the major branches of yoga as well as an opportunity for self-development. Swami Radha's approach is based on helping people find their own innermost authority, so the emphasis in all of our courses is 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. This course offers in-depth exploration in groups, personal reflections and practices.

The YDC is a prerequisite for all teacher training.

To help integrate the three-month indepth experience, we offer the opportunity for all YDC participants to stay at the Ashram for an additional 5 months at no charge to be active members of our karma yoga program.
