INTRODUCTION
Kaivalyadhama
(Est. 1924), with its 81 year history of scientific and philosophico-literary
research into “training, research and treatment in Yoga’, is fully
equipped to lead the renaissance of
classical Yoga throughout the globe.
With this aim at heart Kaivalyadhama is opening yet another
vista to realize its noble objective to train yoga teachers in authentic
yet broadly untouched areas of classical yoga , with due
emphasis on its experiential, and transcendental aspects.
THE
NEED OF AN ADVANCED COURSE:

global popularity of Yoga has necessitated forging a workable uniformity
in yoga training with respect to (i) The basic principles of yoga

techniques available to the common man today need authentication
based on classical yoga scriptures and living traditions of sound
reputation. At the back drop of profligate yoga schools vying in
alluding the modern man to their own branded yoga, it has now become
almost imperative to go for a time - tested classical yoga system
to tap the all possible
potentials of yoga science for his life and living.

OF THE COURSE:
The
purpose of this course is to train yoga teachers into advanced yoga
practices, validated through sound scriptural foundations and scientific
research, conducted at Kaivalyadhama laboratory and other centers,
in such a way as to equip them to be outstanding yoga teachers in
their own right.
