I did my 200-hour yoga therapy training in India at Dharmshala with Yoga Chaitanya. This school is well organized, food is really great, they offer Ayurvedic meals. The school is located on the hill. It's a paradise with nature & birds. The best part of training is sukhvinder always emphasizes the art of teaching. He will help to deal with your fears of teaching, stage fear... which I feel is very important for a yoga teacher. If you are looking for a family-like feeling, connections, transformational meditations. But also a Yoga Therapy Course in India with Ayurveda and amazing teachers.... it is the right school. I learned so much about myself... I wouldn't have imagined it before. Life changing"!

Melanie – United Kingdom
Course: Yoga Therapy Teacher Training
Location: India (Goa)
Format: Residential / Intensive

Melanie from the UK shares her experience of joining a Yoga Therapy Teacher Training in India and her intention to work with women over 50.

“Hello, my name is Melanie and I’m from the UK. I’ve always loved yoga, but I’ve never had the time to focus upon it. So I’ve got to a stage in my life where I can do that.
I wanted to look for somewhere that was going to be really good training compacted within a set amount of time, and I looked hard and long for the right course. I found Sukhi, and after chatting back and forth, I chose his therapeutic yoga course. I came to Goa in India for 5 weeks, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I want to teach women who are over the age of 50, and I want to tailor-make the course for women who may be struggling with health issues or body problems.
Sukhi has been fantastic. He has been exacting, he’s been precise, he’s been very caring and totally thorough.
I can highly recommend him to teach you if this is the kind of course you want to go on.
Staying here has been really lovely and relaxing. I haven’t had to think about food—the food has been Ayurvedic and fantastically nourishing.
I’ve even lost weight a bit, and yet I’ve eaten three good meals a day.
It’s been a lovely, peaceful, tranquil place in lush greenery, and there’s a beach walkway, so you couldn’t get somewhere nicer to stay than here.”
