HATHA YOGA

Yoga means union - union of the body with the mind and the mind with the soul.

It consists of 96000 Asanas (postures), each appropriate to different times in their lives. The practise of Asana with Pranayama brings suppleness to the body, balance and quietness to the mind . We offer regular basic training with a few simple asanas in Hatha Yoga for every body staying in the centre. It is also possible to learn Hatha Yoga as a subject for the whole length of your stay in the centre.

An Intense course on Hatha Yoga in India

Vijnana Kala Vedi organises a one month long Intense Course on Basics of Hatha Yoga and a Teacher's Training Course on Basics of Hatha Yoga.

Our 29 years long experience and the recognitions granted by the Govt.s of India and Kerala and the various International Organisations on Arts and Culture are quite enough for the credibility of our Centre and sets our Yoga courses apart from rest of the Intense Hatha Yoga courses in India. Moreover, we dont have any prayer sessions, unlike in other Yoga schools and Ashrams, and hence you learn only Yoga for 5 hours a day

The Basic course on Hatha Yoga will be conducted twice every year and the Teacher's course twice every year, following the basic course.

Participants of the basic course can later attend an advanced course on Hatha Yoga which can help one to become a genuine yoga teacher. Only those who successfully complete the first course can attend the teacher's training course

The maximum number of participants is limited to 10, ensuring adequate personal attention to all.

The following dates are scheduled for the Hatha Yoga courses
(no. of seats for each course is only 10).

"...as for the Intense Yoga course, it was, well, very intense. We loved it every moment of the way. A huge expression of gratitude to Swami for teaching not only about Yoga, but also about ourselves. Truly, it was a transformational experience. The beginners and teachers training course have been a great base from which to deepen our practise. It gave us confidence in our ability as yoga people, and a much deeper understanding of it than we could have gotten elsewhere. The small class size creates an excellent environment in which to learn and grow. Will return to Canda able to teach Yoga, which speaks to the success of Swami's abilities. Through out the course Swami emphasized how to learn and to always be a student. We think that this is the end of the beginning. We will reccommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about Yoga,what it is and how to practice" - Nancy and Jon, Canada November 2005
