The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashrams and Centres’ Senior Teachers invite all their TTC graduates to come for a family reunion with Master Swami Sivananda and our Guru Swami Vishnudevananda, your teachers and fellow batch mates.

Reconnect:
This TTC Refresher is open to all graduates of the SYVC Yoga TTC. It is an opportunity to reconnect to the classical teachings of Yoga and Vedanta, to the teachers and to fellow batch mates.

It will inspire you in your personal practice of asana and pranayama, motivate you to a healthier yogic lifestyle again, encourage you to actually start teaching or to improve your teaching skills.

Re-connect with fellow teachers to revisit the energising experience of a Yogic lifestyle of simple living and high thinking. Refresh your practice of proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet, positive thinking and meditation.

Take the opportunity to:

  • Revise and increase your practical and theoretical knowledge and your Hatha Yoga teaching skills.
  • Re-connect with the profound essence of the classical Yogic practices and the wisdom of the scriptures.
  • Become inspired and motivated again by re-visiting the positive, dynamic and peaceful teachings of Master and Swamiji.
  • Refresh & re-energise Koshas and Sariras by diving back into your own Yoga Sadhana.
  • Boost your inner well-being in the peace of the ashram and silent walks in nature.
  • Open the heart and find joy again with Satsang and kirtan.

Have fun, reuniting with your batch mates and teachers, remembering that life changing TTC experience, the sharing, the ups and downs. And share how it has helped in your life. Share your experiences of teaching in the world.

This wonderful opportunity to reconnect begins with Satsang 8 pm on Monday 18th March 2024 and finishes around 1 pm on Saturday 23rd March 2024
