What it's like doing an advanced yoga teacher training in India. Join me for one long beautiful day of learning. - MY SOCIAL MEDIA - IG: https://www.instagram.com/yaknowme_hitomi/ TIK TOK: yaknowme_hitomi222 Spotify: thejauntforckandhm - BUSINESS INQUIRIES - hitomi@select.co ✨ - TRADITIONAL YOGA RESOURCES - I tried to link the channels directly but it wasn't working for some reason! Sanskriti Yoga Prasad Rangnekar The Yoga Institute Tejal Yoga Traditional Yoga Grand Master Akshar - RELATED TEXTS I LOVE - The Autobiography of A Yogi The Bhagavad Gita interpreted by Paramahamsa Yogananda Anything by Swami Vivekananda (Raja yoga & Jnana yoga are great) Be Here Now The Power of Now The Untethered Soul The Alchemist ✨ - YOGA TRANINGS - ** This Current Training : 300Hr Advanced Hatha at Ayur Yoga Eco Ashram Mysore - traditional yoga that challenged me in the best ways - 10/10 accommodations, food, and nature! - really honest intelligent teachers that were easy to talk to - loved learning about Ayurveda - felt like there could have been more focus on meditation OVERALL: I really fell in love with this place, the people, and the practice here. It immediately felt like home and I know I'm going to return in the future. All the staff were so kind, accommodating and really cared about my experience. The yoga classes were very good but we did the same sequence throughout the whole month based on the chakras so I felt a little bored by the end, I think it would have been fun to switch it up and learn different ways to sequence. I loved all the teachers and found them incredibly intelligent, they always had really thoughtful answers to my questions. Because the ashram is on a farm you can pick fresh fruits and herbs every day on your way to class, it's pretty amazing. Lastly, the price range is really good considering everything this training comes with. They gave me a 5% discount code for you to use but this video is Not sponsored! I paid full price, however, they learned about my channel and wanted to create an affiliate code! So its, Hitomi5 My First Training : 200HR Moon Sun Fire Hatha at The Practice Bali - rooted in tradition - amazing philosophy classes - teachers are really there to answer Qs and help -10/10 anatomy, sequencing, and teaching classes - A bit pricey & didn't include living situation OVERALL: I would recommend this training if you have the means! You have to pay for accommodations and at least one meal a day on top of the training. It was incredibly well rounded and I felt like they really cared about each students evolutionary path. The main teacher is a bit dogmatic when it comes to traditional Hatha yoga, which I understand, but everyone connects to yoga and can benefit from it in their own way! None of the teachers I learned from were POC if that is something that would sway your decision.Regardless it is a really good practice and this training helped me heal so many of my mental health issues. My Second Training : 200HR Primary Series at Tattva Yogashala Rishikesh - the ashtanga primary series is so amazing to learn - The adjustments class was really good - The philosophy didn't go as deep as I would have liked - So reasonable ( training included the room and two meals a day for the month ) OVERALL: Wouldn't recommend this training because it wasn't super personal, the teachers couldn't remember my name and kept talking to me in Chinese when I don't even speak it lol. Even though I was really inspired by the main teacher, there were several trainings going on at once and it was clear he was spread thin. I did learn a lot and think they tried to make it special with evening parties and weekend activities, but it seemed like they didn't care about who was there or try to form a relationship with the students. I feel bad saying anything negative about this school because I know they're just trying to create a successful business and share yoga with the world but I also want to be completely honest. And perhaps the price think the price is actually adequate for what you get! It is under 2k which is the most affordable training I've seen. And I personally did feel prepared to teach the series by the end of the month.
