Vedanta Spiritual & Holistic Retreat is honored to announce its collaboration with one of the oldest Yoga institutes in India, and first Yoga colleges in the world. Kaivalyadhama has kept great integrity and purity in developing its work in the ancient Sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda since 1924. It has strived to study, share and teach Yoga as it was taught in the ancient world by Patanjali and his predecessors.
In the west, the popularity of Yoga has soared over the last two decades, giving rise to an industry of Yoga Instructors and Practitioners. Yoga has even become a part of the western medical system’s dialogue about helping to heal the epidemic of diseases that we currently suffer from in the modern world. Due to this and other factors, Yoga is spreading into vast populations and the need for more advanced Instructors is upon us. This 2500 hour “Traditional Yoga Teacher” program (2500TYT) is an opportunity to live and learn these Yogic Sciences in an integral way. To be a guide on the path of Yoga one must first walk the path of Yoga oneself.For as the Geeta’s wisdom reminds “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the Self”.
