We experience life within ourselves, through our eyes, ears and senses.

Once we determine what happens within us, we can determine how we experience the outside.

This is the core purpose of this training: Reshape & Rediscover your true Self through Yoga and Lead others towards a happier place!

Our 200 Hours teacher training course is an Authentic Hatha Yoga course following the teachings of Swami Sivananda and his lineage.

The course will be given over 8 weekends at Omkara House of Yoga, followed by a 10 days residential program. It is a wonderful opportunity to focus on your learnings of yoga philosophy, develop your personal practice and receive the tools to become a yoga teacher.

Course location for the 10 days residential program will be announced later due to the current situation.

Please note that in case a new quarantine is imposed at the time of the course, the classes will be given online and/or while following the required health regulations and proper distancing (depending on the rules issued at that time). The same will apply to the residential days to which changes may also occur and will be decided at the time.
