Akshara Yoga School presents some of the reasons for
why Yoga Teacher Training in India will be a wise decision.
Tradition:
India has a
rich culture, tradition and history of Yoga and spirituality. India will continue
to be the leading destination for generations to come for offering the
invaluable gift to humanity i.e. Yoga. India has the largest repositories of
spiritual practices, knowledge and skills for personal growth and enrichment.
New Paradigm:
Yoga comes
with the tag of holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Holistic approach to
health and wellbeing envisages harmony between man and nature, body and mind,
thought and action, renunciation and enjoyment. This Holistic vision is a
paradigm shift from the matter-based world-view of separate parts and
components to the world view of undivided wholeness. With India’s ancient lore
of unity in diversity, none other than in India this new concept of wellbeing
can be better appreciated.
Economical:
Yoga teacher
training in India is far more economical than undergoing a similar duration
residential course in Europe or US. Furthermore there is no comparison in terms
of better experience and in-depth learning that one receives in India for Yoga
than in any other part of the world.
Yoga and Allied Sciences:
All ancient
Indian sciences are rooted in Vedas. Therefore every Indian body of knowledge
including Yoga has a common basis of spirituality attached to them. In India,
while learning Yoga one can easily expose oneself to the allied fields of
knowledge like Ayurveda or other philosophies like Vedanta
founded on spirituality.
Many Paths, but United with Goal:
Yoga
refers to an inner science comprising of a variety of methods through which
human beings can achieve union between the body and mind to attain
self-realization. Yoga works on the level of one’s will, intellect and emotion.
This has given rise to four broad classification of Yoga i.e. Raja Yoga,
Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. Each system of
Yoga we practice falls within the gamut of one or more of three inner faculties
and all works for the integration of personality. By learning Yoga in India one
has full opportunity to have complete and coherent understanding of Yoga.
