Question why you are pushing your body into difficult postures, as that pushing is causing conflict, enhancing violence and glorifying your egoic self

Real words from students who trained and practised with us in Dharamkot.

★★★★★

“The most profound experience at Sharat’s Healing Prana Intensive at the Shanti Ashram — an amphitheatre for the busy mind to become still.”

S
Stefan M. Google Reviews
★★★★★

“This TTC is much more than a typical teacher training — a 9-day immersion, a three-week ashram intensive, and three weeks of teaching practice. A genuine game changer.”

J
Jill B. Tripadvisor • May 2026
★★★★★

Found the atmosphere sincere and encouraging on her 5-day course — praised teacher Grace's calm, precise instruction and the assistants' attentive adjustments throughout.

K
Kamila K. Tripadvisor
★★★★★

“Three 5-Day Courses in and I finally found a yoga centre with a professional approach and deep knowledge — a strong foundation of Hatha Yoga.”

M
Maren B. Tripadvisor • 2022
★★★★★

Came for a 9-day course expecting flexibility drills, found something deeper instead — left with a clearer mind and a calmer, more aware body.

★★★★★

“Really impressed by the quality of teaching — the emphasis on alignment and body awareness is very different from traditional Iyengar yoga.”

9-Day Immersion — Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 9-Day Immersion and three separate 5-Day Courses? +

The content and duration are equivalent, but the 9-Day Immersion is completed consecutively as one intensive block rather than spread across separate visits — useful if you're travelling from abroad and want to qualify for the 160-Hour Intensive or Teacher Training in a single trip.

Is accommodation included in the 9-Day Immersion fee? +

No — accommodation is not included in the course fee. Meal inclusion varies by location and course option, so please confirm exactly what's included for your chosen batch when booking.

Is the 9-Day Immersion suitable for complete beginners? +

Yes, but expect a rigorous and demanding schedule — this is a compressed version of the foundational course, not a gentler alternative, so beginners should be prepared for an intense week.

Does the 9-Day Immersion count toward the 160-Hour Intensive or Teacher Training prerequisite? +

Yes — the 9-Day Immersion is treated as equivalent to three 5-Day Courses for the purpose of qualifying for the 160-Hour Intensive or 320-Hour Teacher Training.
