Nestled in the mystic tall pines forest with its picturesque natural beauty and unique mix of Indian and Tibetan cultures, Dhramashala is a conducive place for yoga and meditation. The name Dharmashala derives from Sanskrit language which means “City of Dharma (virtues)” and so is true to its name. This picturesque destination is not only popular among tourists, but among spiritual seekers and religious travellers.

The training lays out a strong foundation for deepening the understanding and practices of yoga in a holistic approach. Yoga has become popular in this modern age for its physical practices (“asana”) and other aspect that are essential parts of yoga has been largely looked over. In our TTC, we make sure to integrate well-rounded studies of yoga and bringing spirituality into the teachings and practices to support personal and spiritual growth of our students.
The curriculum covers the fundamental elements of yoga based on essential subjects consisting of pranayama, shat kriya, asana practices, yoga philosophy, yoga anatomy, relaxation (Yoga Nidra) and meditation. For asana practices, our school focus on Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga styles of asana. Students will go through 6 days of training with 1 rest day per week. On this rest day, our school organizes a half-day excursion for students that may involve visits to sacred sites, waterfall or city exploration. The rest day usually falls on a Sunday, but may be shifted to a weekday to avoid tourists and traffic during high season in Dharamshala.
