Welcome to the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Centre in Dharamkot, Dharamsala and in Arambol, Goa

5 day courses are offered that immerse the participant into the essence of yoga both into its philosophical and practical aspects. On these courses a student is taught everything that is essential to know to keep up a regular practice. The course is informative, motivational and above all experiential. If the student then wishes to go on they have the choice to go to the earlier class where the subject is explored in more detail. In order to encourage long term study at the centre, each week there is a different theme. The fee also gets less every week.

When the student decides to go subtler into the subject and devote more time to self practice there is the possibility of participating in the Intensive Courses offered at various times in the year. Pranayama ( balancing through breath ), various ways to open blockages through a diversity of asanas, ways to generate and store energy and different techniques of meditation are taught so that with this understanding one can ‘Zoom’ forward in ones’ practice.

Upon deciding that this is the path that I want to follow then the Teachers Training prepares us to share our enthusiasm and knowledge with others, and learn how to help our brothers and sisters to realize their full potential in life. We learn to diagnose body and mind sets, see blockages and discover through exploration of our own body. There will be detailed analysis of each posture for different needs. All this will be put into practice with a group of students in order to gain confidence in handling class situations.
