点评:I joined the March 2026 batch at Yoga Darshanam Ashram for my Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training, and it was a very special and enriching experience.
The training is intensive and requires commitment, but that was exactly what I was looking for. The daily Ashtanga practice gave me the opportunity to deepen my own practice significantly, while the classes in pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, alignment and teaching methodology helped me understand yoga on a much broader level.
What I especially appreciated was the quality and dedication of the teachers. They have a deep knowledge of yoga and were always willing to explain, correct and support us individually. I learned a lot not only about the physical practice of Ashtanga, but also about the philosophy and traditional roots of yoga.
The food was another highlight. It was fresh, vegetarian, nourishing and prepared with a lot of care. Considering the intensity of the training, having healthy meals every day made a real difference.
The accommodation is simple, as you would expect in an ashram, but comfortable and perfectly adequate for a teacher training. It is not a luxury retreat – and that is part of the experience. The focus is on practice, learning and living together as a group.
The schedule can be demanding, especially with the early morning practices and full days, but I found this structure very valuable. You really immerse yourself in yoga and step away from everyday distractions.
I am leaving with a much deeper understanding of Ashtanga, many new insights and experiences, and wonderful memories of the people I met along the way.
I would definitely recommend Yoga Darshanam to anyone who is looking for a serious, authentic and intensive yoga teacher training in India rather than a typical wellness-style yoga retreat.
Thank you to all the teachers and the entire Yoga Darshanam team for this experience. 🙏
翻译:我参加了瑜伽达沙南修道院于2026年3月举办的阿斯坦加瑜伽教师培训课程,这是一段极为特别且富有收获的经历。
该培训强度很大,需要投入大量精力与决心,但这正是我所追求的。每日的阿斯坦加瑜伽练习让我有机会大幅提升自己的修习水平;而关于调息法、瑜伽哲学、人体解剖学、体式矫正以及教学方法的课程则帮助我从更广阔的视角去理解瑜伽。让我特别欣赏的是老师们的专业素养与敬业精神。他们拥有深厚的瑜伽知识,总是乐于为我们逐一讲解、纠正动作并给予指导。我不仅学到了很多关于阿斯汤加瑜伽的体式练习,还深入了解了瑜伽的哲学思想及其传统渊源。
食物也是另一大亮点。它新鲜、纯素且营养丰富,制作时也倾注了大量心血。考虑到训练的强度……每天坚持吃健康的饮食确实带来了显著的效果。
住宿条件很简单,这也符合静修中心的特点;不过很舒适,完全满足教师培训的需求。这里并非什么豪华度假胜地——而这正是体验的一部分。整个课程的重点在于实践、学习以及团体共同生活。
日程安排可能有些紧张,尤其是清晨的修习环节以及一整天的活动安排,但我觉得这种结构非常有价值。你真的会全身心投入到瑜伽中,从而暂时远离日常生活的纷扰。
离开时,我对阿什塔anga瑜伽有了更为深刻的理解,获得了许多新的感悟与体验,同时也留下了沿途结识的朋友们带来的美好回忆。
如果有人希望在印度接受正规、地道且高强度的瑜伽教师培训,而非仅仅参加那种以养生休闲为主的瑜伽静修营,我绝对会推荐Yoga Darshanam。感谢所有的老师以及整个瑜伽达善纳姆团队带来这场美妙的体验。🙏
