• Beyond Conventional Learning: Please understand that our program is not a conventional form of education. We encourage introversion, self-awareness, and meditative practices throughout the course to foster a deeper, more personal journey.
• Cultural & Philosophical Study: Our programs are not religious; however, Yoga is an integral part of Indian culture and Vedic tradition. As such, the course includes the study of Indian scriptures of a philosophical nature, chanting of Vedic mantras, and the memorization of Sanskrit vocabulary with an universal & non-religious approach
