Sivananda Yoga announces 2013 Vietnam Yoga Teacher Training Course and Yoga retreat

May 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers and the Sivananda Yoga Farm announces its international Teacher's Training Course (TTC) in Vietnam from February 16 - March 17, 2013.

Swami Vishnudevananda came to America at the request of Swami Sivananda to bring the wisdom of Yoga to the West. With the inspiration and knowledge he had acquired from his Master and his personal vision of yoga as the path to inner peace and thus world peace, he designed this intensive course, the Teachers' Training Course. Started in 1969, it was the first training course of its kind in the West. Since that time, over 26,000 yoga teachers have been trained through the program.

In keeping with this ancient Yoga tradition, spiritual practices such as daily adherence to discipline, meditation, Sanskrit mantra chanting, Hindu gods and goddesses, ceremonial worships such as puja, strict vegetarianism, selfless service and study of philosophy constitute a large part of the TTC course.

Students of the training course receive an internationally recognized certification (the course is certified by the worldwide Yoga Alliance for the 200 hours standard for Registered Yoga Schools). The course provides a fantastic opportunity to awaken or deepen your Yoga practice, meet old and new friends, and to be a part of the global yoga community which is growing each day. The best part of all is learning that everything we need is already within us and how the practices can lead us into accessing our gifts and beauty from the inside out.

Registration is currently open for the Vietnam 2013 course. For more details please visit http://www.sivanandayogavietnam.org or http://www.sivanandayogafarm.org
