I am excited to share my knowledge and love for yoga with new aspiring yoga enthusiasts. I would recommend this school to anyone who’s interested in teaching yoga. Thank you “Yog Chaitanya” Yoga School , I am proud and honored to be one of your students. “Yog Chaitanya” is the most trusted and authentic Yoga Alliance – Accredited RYS 200 Yoga School in Gujarat- India. Founder of “Yog Chaitanya”- International School, Yogi Gurudra is a leading Hatha/Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. He is highly experienced and talented yoga Teacher with more than 20 years of rich experience as Lead Yoga Teacher in YTTC in India and abroad. “I will say now, and without a doubt, the 200 hour yoga teacher training with “Yog Chaitanya” was the best investment I’ve ever made for myself. I had some yoga experience going into the training, but mostly studio vinyasa style, where I never gave myself time to explore yoga in more depth…. to delve into the philosophy, energetic and the sweet meditations that make the cake of yoga, of which asana is merely the glaze! This YTT was a rich, fully embodied and deeply human experience. I learnt so much and graduated feeling empowered, energized and confident in my abilities as a yoga instructor. Yogi Gurudra and other Teachers are amazing people with incredible skill, knowledge and generosity. I wholeheartedly recommend this YTTC to anyone looking to take the next step on their yoga journey. We covered all modules that covered a multitude of topics including history of yoga, ashtanga, vinyasa, , anatomy, pranayama, chakras, Guided Meditation , mudras, and more. I really enjoyed this program and highly recommend it. I felt fully ready and confident to teach yoga after this 200-hour training! Yogi Gurudra is the perfect being to help guide you on your Yoga journey. My wonderful journey with Gurudra brought me so much more than just knowledge about Yoga and how to be a Instructor. It taught me how to become more aware about life and my own being. I grew stronger in so many different ways both physically and mentally. I feel like Gurudra provides you the tools to help you find your true self, find what makes you happy and then it's your job to do the work and grow as a being. Gurudra's spirit and energy are both uplifting and calming. The course material was structured so brilliantly and systematically; that we were able to cover a plethora of topics in a relatively short amount of time – and retain it! We dove deeply into beautiful pranayama and meditative practices and learnt how to craft fully structure a class energetically and physically. Classes were very well designed for the online platform too. I was able to understand the assignments in a simple and easy manner which helped in steadily finishing the tasks, assignments in a very organized manner. There were more videos of other teachers or former students doing class sequences and tutorials of modifications. I highly recommend this Offline/ online yoga school and hope to continue my journey with this school. The learning process during the YTTC yoga training was the most enjoyable, challenging, inspiring and motivating experience that I have ever experienced. I will go through each of these qualities below to explain how they manifested themselves for me in practice. The course was very enjoyable because I simply could not wait to discover what was coming next both as far as the feedback from the completion of the current module, and the content of the new module were concerned. Personally, it gave me a few ideas on how to incorporate yoga’s philosophy even stronger into my everyday life and help me maintain good health both on physical and mental levels. The inspiration on a professional level is mainly related to insights you provided into running a yoga business and what is important in doing so. And finally, the motivation side of the course. I couldn’t imagine a better 200 hour yoga teacher training, or a better way to begin my career as a yoga teacher. I would highly recommend “Yog Chaitanya” to any yogi or yogini who wants a fully immersive, life changing and well structured training. You will come out knowledgeable and prepared should you want to begin teaching or simply take your personal practice to the next level.” Highly recommend “Yog Chaitanya” ! Excellent teachers who are considerate and caring. They really go in depth into the teachings. I was extremely happy with the quality of this training! Thanks so much Gurudra … We now understood holistically what really meant YOGA is !
