Yoga is an eternal journey, there are people spending years in learning yoga before they start teaching, however with a systematic training, passion and commitment, it is possible to share this knowledge, after this course. Moreover, everyone has to begin at some point, like any other discipline. As an old Sanskrit proverb says “knowledge grown more and more when you share with other and in the flow of time as well, as we observe, imbibe and assimilate the teachings”.

A TOURIST (Or) ENTRY VISA is good enough for you to travel and complete your course. You DO NOT need a STUDENT VISA OR YOGA VISA for this purpose. A Yoga Visa/Student visa is generally more expensive and complicated as compared to the tourist visa. Most of the yoga practitioners or students who come to India to study yoga also travel the country as tourists before or after the course. It also happens many times that there are people already in India on a tourist visa and they decide to join the yoga course while being on tourist visa. We have observed that most of the yoga practitioners in India come on tourist visa as they find it simpler, easier and cheaper.

We also recommend you to apply for visa, in time in Indian consulate in your country, so that you can plan your trip hassle free, and we do not take any responsibility in this regard.

We recommend you to bring your own personal, good quality yoga mat. However, different varieties of Yoga mats are available to purchase near our yoga school, for approx. 400-500 INR, but these mats, most often get destroyed with a month and are not very eco-friendly.
