I completed the 200 hour Yoga Alliance Course in April 2012. This course helped me to deepen my own practice and really understand what yoga is as a holistic way of life - not just conceptually, but experientially. It is through this understanding and personal experience that I feel confident to teach others and share my experience. I'm really glad I opted to do the course in India; the Himalayas are beautiful, and I really felt a sense and flavor of the history/roots of the ancient yogic way of life. I don't think I would have felt this had done the course in my home country. I experienced yoga in a safe, blissful and healing capacity through the YA 200 hour course at the Kailash Tribal Yoga School. Yogi Sivadas is a wonderfully inspiring & wise teacher; the course is taught in a variety of mediums to suit all learners and really encourages independent learning & thinking, so that yoga can be applied to a number of settings in the modern world. I came away from the course feeling bright, light, renewed, inspired and ready to teach! mouniraalmenoar@hotmail.com Mounira Almenoar - Yoga Health Wellness http://mouniraalmenoar.blogspot.com.au United Kingdom.
