Our shared commitment

A Yoga Teacher Training is more than a course. It is a commitment to learning, practice, self-observation, and community living. To support this experience, we ask all students to approach the training with sincerity, openness, and a willingness to participate fully. The guidelines below are not intended as restrictions, but as a framework that helps create a focused, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone.

Yoga is often described as the calming of the fluctuations of the mind. This does not mean suppressing our natural tendencies, but learning to observe and guide them with greater awareness and discipline.

The structure of the training, daily schedule, and community guidelines are designed to support this process. By joining the training, students agree to participate wholeheartedly in creating an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, practice, and personal growth.

What we expect

  • Attend all scheduled classes and activities with punctuality and sincerity.
  • Inform the teachers in advance if illness or an emergency prevents attendance.
  • Participate fully in the daily rhythm of the training, including Karma Yoga.
  • Maintain a respectful and supportive atmosphere for fellow students, teachers, and staff.
  • Refrain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, smoking, recreational drugs, and other intoxicants during the course.
  • Follow the vegetarian lifestyle observed within the school throughout the training period.
  • Return to the premises by 10:00 PM each evening unless prior permission has been granted.
  • Respect the quiet and focused environment of the ashram.
  • Understand that personal growth and learning depend largely on individual effort, consistency, and engagement with the practices.

Should a student’s behaviour repeatedly disrupt the learning environment or cause significant in convenience to the community, the school reserves the right to discontinue their participation in the course.

What to bring

You do not need to arrive as an experienced practitioner. Simply come with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and the intention to participate fully

We recommend bringing:

  • Comfortable clothing suitable for daily yoga practice
  • A white outfit for the graduation ceremony
  • A journal for notes and reflection
  • Sandals or comfortable footwear
  • A bath towel
  • Personal toiletries
  • Prescription medications and any necessary supplements
  • Mosquito repellent if desired
  • A personal yoga mat (optional)

More than a school – A community of seekers

At Yoga Tirth, learning is not confined to the classroom. It happens during silent walks, shared meals, early morning meditations, and quiet reflections by the sea. Our teachers are not separate from the community—they live, practice, and grow alongside the students.

Through their presence, they remind us: Yoga is not something we do. Yoga is how we live.
