What our members are saying

Working towards inner peace!

Getting insights from long term teachers and practitioners as the Mohan family is invaluable. There is a lot of clarity and simplicity in the explanations of how our mind works and the role of desire. I loved all the practices they taught in this course to move towards inner peace, soooo useful! I really appreciate all the teachings received.

I learned so much out of this course, thanks to you!

TRUSS K

Perfect pace, perfect presentation

Can not be better. Learned a lot even though I already knew the basics: the Imbalance of one person is his own balance, we should not focused only on production of Agni but balance it! Immediately understood why my practice of Pranayama was not fully effective, and when I added to to it Sitali paranayama, I started to feel better. Now I will look also at the diet.

DILLARO S

A generous and very informative course

Thank you for a very rich course. I want to highlight in particular the precisions and nuances introduced by Dr. Ganesh Mohan, as well as the deep of knowledge shared by AG Mohan. It seems to me much more than a 5.5 hours program... much to reflect on :)

Training Journey: Hub & Spokes

Your journey through the Svastha Yoga Therapy Program is organized around a logical hub and spokes model. Each topic is like a spoke of a wheel and is anchored by the hub of mentoring and integration.


The program is designed such that you may enter from any of the courses (starting from one of the spokes and circling through the rest in any order). To anchor your learning, you will simultaneously attend the ongoing monthly mentoring and integration sessions (the hub). Many of the courses are registered with Yoga Alliance and you may use them for continuing education hours.

(A) 15 courses covering the 10 domains of wellbeing (~350 hours).

You will be guided to track your journey through journaling and self-assessment, check-ins with a mentor, multiple choice tests, written essays, and live teaching assessment by mentors or lead teachers during course completion.

Practicum

The Svastha Yoga Therapy Program has been submitted to the IAYT for consideration.
