The eternal science of Yoga has survived through the ages as a central element of culture. Gurus taught students the scientific ways of living like Yogis from birth to death and beyond. Yoga was never something sold for profit but a way of living taught to benefit all. Traditional Yoga is simply continuing this tradition of teaching authentic ways of living like a Yogi in a material world where Yoga has become commercialized and fragmented with mostly asana-oriented programs.

Yoga Healing Foundation is a registered charity with a voluntary donation system that is able to offer free online courses under the name Traditional Yoga. The generosity, selfless service, and unwavering dedication of Guruji and Traditional Yoga volunteers is a driving force behind being able to offer these course for free.

TY Teacher Training Courses run continuously throughout the year with 3 courses on an average per year.

The online application form for new courses is made available on our website when enrollments are open. Submit the form to register. You can stay updated on new course information by subscribing to our website and following us on our social media channels for updates.

No. All applicants must fill an ‘Additional Details Form’. If needed, they should be ready to attend an interactive audio call via WhatsApp with a TY volunteer who will assess the aspirant’s eligibility based on our selection criteria.

The ‘Additional Details Form’ should be filled with thoughtful and detailed responses while your purpose for joining this course should align with information provided in the "Course Details" and "Code of Conduct". Please ensure you are familiar with both documents if you are required to attend the interaction call.

The criteria for selection is NOT based on payment. ONLY students who exhibit qualities such as gratitude, devotion, humility, positivity, genuine interest, and a burning desire to learn Yoga in its authentic form straight from the Himalayas are considered.

In Purvashrama Sampradaya, families sent children to the ashram with full transparency. The idea of privacy did not exist in the ashram and the Guru was the great grandfather figure guiding aspirants. The interactive call will be like a conversation with a family member where you will be sharing details related to your Yoga & spiritual practices, family, health concerns, financial situation, etc., so that the volunteer can get a 360-degree view of you.

The courses follow the ethos of traditional ashrams where only students who are willing to surrender to the Guru and leave their intellectual and cultural baggage aside are accepted. The selection process is designed to ensure that only yoga aspirants who are ready to go on such a transformative journey are given access to this online ashram.

Yes, the idea is to develop wisdom by observing, listening, adapting, experiencing, and transforming. You are not allowed to attend any other courses in Yoga, meditation/ spirituality or conflicting parallel courses as combining two traditions in parallel is dangerous, hence not allowed.

If you are selected for the program after successfully completing the Additional Details Form and/or attending an interaction call, you will be able to log in to your account on the TY website and access the student dashboard with course material.

Please note that this access is provisional — continued access depends on your performance and adherence to the parameters defined below.

When you join TY, you are entering an online ashram. In ashram culture, observation of aspirants is high to bring about positive transformation as well as to immediately chop any negative behavior that limits progress. Defined parameters to monitor student activity include:

i. Checking if the student is watching all classes

ii. Submission of assessments and/or practice videos on time

iii. Responsiveness to volunteers

iv. Diligently attending regular calls if required with volunteers

v. Submission of Gratitude Messages/ Anumodana as guided.

vi. Implementing the class teachings in student's daily life without delay or resistance.

Please note that TY has the exclusive right to remove any student who is not fulfilling the course criteria.

Anumodana is the expression of gratitude to the Guru for the teachings and in extension learning how to be grateful for everything & everyone that supports our survival. It is an incredibly powerful tool to dramatically shift our consciousness so that we learn to appreciate all that surrounds us, leading to deep healing. If you are selected, you will be regularly writing Gratitude Messages (GMs) reflecting on the class teachings to cultivate the power of positivity and develop compassion for all beings i.e. Avalokiteshvara.

Yes, if you are selected, you can continue the course and be eligible for the certificate as long as you continue to follow the Code of Discipline and successfully complete all assessments as outlined to the required standard.

There is no set curriculum, modules, or assessments as the Guru teaches what comes directly from the Pool of Consciousness to bring about transformative change in a student. An aspirant must be ready to commit fully to face any test while on the program.

The course is designed for anyone looking for complete transformation, liberation, and purification of the body, mind, and soul. Anyone in any age group irrespective of gender, ethnicity, religion, physical/ mental inability, and other factors can be on the course for complete health as long as they comply with the Code of Discipline.
