Yoga Teacher Training | Ashram Yoga
Posted: October 25, 2015 at 11:46 am
Becoming a yoga teacher is a big step forward in your experience of yoga.
.
If you want to learn a topic then teach it.
.
Being able to share yoga with friends, family and clients is rewarding in many ways. Whether you are interested primarily in your own personal development or becoming a yoga teacher, we have a range of courses in which you can achieve both.
All of our courses have been developed in response to the enthusiasm of our students wanting to learn, practice, live and teach the science of yoga. Please read through the information provided and we encourage you to talk to us or any of our graduates with further queries.
.
.
Personal growth, to teach family and friends, a change of career.
Learn an in-depth, integrated, holistic and progressive system of yoga ranging from beginning through to advanced levels.
Enjoy a highly practical and experiential orientation of training to help you become a confident and capable teacher and to develop a strong basis for ongoing personal practice, learning and development.
Benefit from a uniquely effective teaching system and style of presentation which springs from an authentic tradition of yoga combined with the several decades of personal experience, practice and learning of the instructors.
On-going support, training, mentorship, encouragement and involvement are available.
.
Yoga is a life-long journey of discovery and we believe that it is much more than a system of physical development. We teach in a holistic way which emcompasses the deeper, more subtle aspects of yoga. Whilst definitely emphasising the physical body, our system also specifically works with the breath, the life-energy and the mind in order to help bring about a balanced state of wellbeing, vitality and a deeper attunement with our true inner-selves.
Yoga is a very broad science. You learn a systematic approach to classical yoga enabling you to teach for the whole personality. From the vast range of practices learnt, you can creatively and intuitively structure classes and programmes for your students individual and general needs.
For those of you inspired to make a deeper study of yoga we are committed to providing a complete system of training which guides students in a progressive and systematic way to develop a strong personal yoga practice and to become confident and capable to teach from beginners to advanced. We offer several courses for this and you can study to the level you so desire, within your own commitments and needs.
There is no requirement to do all of our teacher training courses, especially if you are doing it more for personal development. However, if you are wanting yoga to be your profession, we advise that you do complete all of them over a 2 5 year period.
.
The courses train you to teach a complete system of yoga postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation.
Our yoga syllabus is taught in three levels:
.
Level 1: beginner to intermediate
Level 2:intermediate to advanced
Level 3:advanced
.
Each level takes you to a higher standard of proficiency. Level 1 is suitable for absolute beginners and starts with simple practices. By the end of Level 1 you will have built a firm foundation based on experience and understanding. This experience gives you the grounding to teach with confidence.
The Level 1 and 2 in particular are not just a weekend course per month, but rather six months of daily learning and growing. The workshop sessions, home practice and assignments are all part of this course and are all aspects of receiving your Teacher Training Certificate.
Each workshop session involves group dynamics and a specific group of postures; we also teach you pranayama, relaxation (yoga nidra) and meditation in a systematic way. Commitment to the weekend workshops and daily practice is essential. If for unavoidable reasons you are unable to attend one of the days, extra tuition is necessary for completion of the course and is not included in the course fee.
.
Please note: there are no exams in our teacher training courses. There are assignments that we mark and give you feedback, but no tests. There is no way to fail any of the teacher training courses!
.
Extra yogic courses and workshops are conducted throughout the year providing ongoing training, inspiration and deeper knowledge within specific areas (e.g. back care, pranayama, chakras, meditation, etc.) Most workshops and retreats are discounted for Ashram Yoga trainees or teachers. There are also regular teacher forums to swap ideas, information and learn new ways and methods of teaching from one another, Ashram Yoga teachers or guest teachers.
.
The beginnings of Ashram Yoga may be traced back to1980 when Swami Shantimurti Saraswaticame toNew Zealandto teachyoga. Since these early days, we have worked ceaselessly for the development of yoga both within New Zealand and overseas.
Ashram Yogas unique teaching style is based on traditional yogabut also includes the senior instructors many years of experience of teaching yoga. We have developed a comprehensive, thorough and effective set of teachings. The range of practices we present are vast and taught from absolute beginners through to becoming an advance yoga instructor.
The range of practices we present are vast and taught from absolute beginners onwards. Teacher trainees are encouraged to incorporate their own experiences of yoga into the teachings. We also teach you how to apply yoga practices to any type of student, according to the level of the course you are studying.

Ashram of Sri Aurobindo
Posted: October 12, 2015 at 1:51 pm
Sri Aurobindo was born in Calcutta on 15 August 1872. At the age of seven he was taken to England for education. There he studied at St. Paul's School, London, and at King's College, Cambridge. Returning to India in 1893, he worked for the next thirteen years in the Princely State of Baroda in the service of the Maharaja and as a professor in Baroda College. During this period he also joined a revolutionary society and took a leading role in secret preparations for an uprising against the British Government in India.
In 1906, soon after the Partition of Bengal, Sri Aurobindo quit his post in Baroda and went to Calcutta, where he soon became one of the leaders of the Nationalist movement. He was the first political leader in India to openly put forward, in his newspaper Bande Mataram, the idea of complete independence for the country. Prosecuted twice for sedition and once for conspiracy, he was released each time for lack of evidence.
Sri Aurobindo had begun the practice of Yoga in 1905 in Baroda. In 1908 he had the first of several fundamental spiritual realisations. In 1910 he withdrew from politics and went to Pondicherry in order to devote himself entirely to his inner spiritual life and work. During his forty years in Pondicherry he evolved a new method of spiritual practice, which he called the Integral Yoga. Its aim is a spiritual realisation that not only liberates man's consciousness but also transforms his nature. In 1926, with the help of his spiritual collaborator, the Mother, he founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Among his many writings are The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga and Savitri. Sri Aurobindo left his body on 5 December 1950.

Review by Kristina from US:

"I came to Ananda Ashram with uncertain aims but felt drawn to a calm, yoga filled weekend. I walked away wholly transformed and plan to return again. It is a very "vibey" place. You can make your own experience and stay as busy as you like. there is a general weekend schedule + special workshops that cost extra. I'm not a vegetarian but enjoyed going veg for the weekend.
Tips:
I'd highly suggest taking a walk around the lake - it's beautiful! I brought an additional pillow after reading the ones they had were bad. They were fine but I appreciated having an extra.
Accommodations were clean and simple. I did not come here for a "luxury" yoga retreat. The simplicity of it all paired well with the general mind clearing the weekend provided.
I came alone and would recommend that for other first timers. Great way to get out of your comfort zone and detach. People were friendly and I left with new friends."

If you are just looking for a place to get some peace and quiet, this is the spot for you! The living quarters are a little cramped (no single rooms), but the property is beautiful, and the staff is very nice and accommodating.

"I really enjoyed my stay at Ananda Ashram and I am happy to give feedback and writer a review. I arrived at Ananda in the evening after the reception had closed and was extremely grateful to have a pack left out with instructions although I feel instructions on times of meditation would have also helped as I hadnt realised that I arrived during a meditation time and therefore was not conscientious of this.
The Ashram is beautiful and amazing and I would highly recommend all of the yoga classes, I made sure I went to everything to make my experience worth while but you are welcome and encouraged to follow your own journey, if you do not want to participate you are more than welcome to do your own thing. I fell in love with the food, it was healthy and nutritious.
Plenty of vegetables, you could add Maca and seeds to your food and I slightly over ate because of this, make sure you dont before a yoga class. All in all I would love to re-visit the Ashram, this time in the spring or summer, it was beautiful under snow and calming but I can only imagine the rejuvenation of the spring.

"I spent Labor Day weekend here for their regular retreat. Excellent yoga classes, lovely grounds around a pretty lake and delicious vegetarian food were the highlights. Meditation was good but I am not a fan of the fire ceremony due to the fumes.
We stayed in a semiprivate room, which was quiet the first night but the next day, two toddlers arrived with their mothers, who did not respect the quiet rules and let their kids run down the halls and make noise early in the morning. Now that summer is over, it should be quieter but I do recommend that you ask if young children will be there if you book a semiprivate room as your stay may not be altogether peaceful. "

"I've been practicing yoga and meditation for 25 years and have had the good fortune to travel to ashrams around the world. This ashram is the real thing. Yoga in all of its limbs and levels is taught and practiced by seasoned practitioners. Outstanding asanas, Sanskrit classes, Truly transformative."

Review by a traveler from Los Angeles, California:
10 out of 10
"Spiritual seekers can find India's true, tried depth only an hour outside of New York. Those who are looking for a cheap hotel or a spa should look elsewhere. Ananda is an Ashram - which means a spiritual retreat center. If anyone is on any sort of spiritual path, this means looking deep into your self - including low tolerance of amenities that are not at all spa-like, but heavenly as in one with nature. yes, you will share dorm space, yes, you might have to camp and yes, there will be lots of people there with you whom you may or may not like. Spiritual centers are about seeing one's own judgments, criticisms and constantly wavering mind stuff in the light of a Guru's wisdom. If you want the Guru's light, you've got to sit next to the fire. And the fire is at Ananda Ashram."

For My House will be called a House of Prayer for all the peoples.
(Is.56:7)
Tabor Divine Retreat Center popularly known as Tabor Ashram has, over the years, evolved into a House of Prayer for all, and a place where Gods living presence is powerfully felt. The good God has provided peace, healing and solace for several lakhs of people at this Center, irrespective of caste or creed, in the past 20-plus years. The broken-hearted, the poor & needy, the sick & suffering continue to witness divine intervention in their lives through wondrous miracles and incredible healings. Ever since it was founded, in response to a divine call way back in 1993, people have been attracted to this Center not only from Mumbai and its surroundings, but also from all over Maharashtra, Gujarat and various parts of the Country. This House of Prayer has united numerous broken families, directed the lives of thousands of youngsters that went astray and created a culture of forgiving love in the society. The transformation of this Retreat Center was nothing short of phenomenal.
Tabor Divine Retreat Centre is the culmination of Tabor Ashram and Tabor Bhavan.

~ Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram (1937-1992), a realized saint from the tradition of Aghor.
In place of dramatic visions and other fleeting experiences that are easy to confuse with spiritual attainment, Aghor Yoga offers simple practices for authentic inner development under the personal guidance of an accomplished spiritual teacher (guru). The guru functions as a bridge toward contact with our innate spiritual wisdom, and thus ultimately with the wholeness and divinity that is our true human nature.
In Aghor Yoga the guru instructs the seeker in the basics of sadhana (cultivation of a daily personal practice) and seva (being of selfless service in the world).
By weaving the practices of sadhana and seva into the fabric of each day, the student achieves a sense of peace and fulfillment, and becomes better equipped to meet the challenges of modern life with calmness, grace and skill. The vibrations emanating from the student spontaneously touch others, contributing to greater harmony in families, communities, workplaces, cities, nations, and eventually the world.
Aghor Yoga can be practiced by anyone without regard to religious or ethnic background.
