This course is designed for yoga teachers to advance their knowledge and training in both yoga and ayurveda. Participants will learn how to adapt yoga classes toward the specific needs of each individual. Graduates will be able to provide deeper instruction in the use of asana, pranayama, chanting, and meditation for healing based upon ayurvedic principles. Participants will also take a deep journey of healing inside themselves, exploring their own ayurvedic constitution and how to create a lifestyle that leads to inner peace and healing.
Quotes by Sivananda Ayurveda Certification Course Graduates:
“This course has been life transforming. Thank you for pulling the yoga out of me!”
“The course was organized and taught in a way that deepened and sharpened my understanding of both yoga and ayurveda separately and together. My classes will definitely improve and my students will benefit greatly from this deeper perspective. It also gave me the tools to deepen and spiritualize my teaching.”
“The course was a comprehensive overview of ayurveda and Ayurvedic and yogic philosophy with outstanding information and knowledge of asana, Pranayama, and Ayurvedic principles. I loved all of it.”

Arrival and Departure Information
The course begins at 8:00am on the first day and ends at
6:00pm on the last day.
Please plan to arrive at the Yoga Retreat at least one day before the start of
the course and to leave at least one day after the course completion.
We recommend that you spend at least a few days in the Yoga Retreat before the
start of your course. This allows your body and mind time to rest, re-energize
and be nourished by the ashram environment. You can then begin your study
feeling relaxed and refreshed. You may also wish to stay for some days after the
end of the course to allow the learning from your study to integrate more fully
into your consciousness within the supportive environment of the ashram. If you
decide to arrive early and to stay longer, please register for the
Yoga Vacation
Program for those additional days. Please see
calendar of
events for guest programs on offer around the time of your visit.
