Tattwan Yoga is a four week, eight hour course taught one on one and will leave you with a foundation of knowledge from which to build your own Yoga practice. If you are ready to expand your personal practice beyond the group experience, but cannot commit to a 200 hour teacher training, then this course will suit your needs. It is based on the different aspects of Raja Yoga, the system of concentration and meditation also known as the eight limbs of AshtangaYoga: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi. You’ll also become familiar with the different branches of yoga including Hatha, Bhakti, Karma, Jnana, and Japa. The goals of Raja Yoga, “Royal Yoga”, are an easeful body, a peaceful mind, and a useful life. When you’re done studying with me, you’ll have a proper foundation of knowledge to begin your personal yoga practice on your own and how and where to learn more when you’re ready to assimilate deeper understanding of Yoga. You will be able to create your own personal practice that you’ll look forward to doing each day. If you will purchase the first four books under my suggested reading blog and will commit to a daily practice for each day of the four week training then there will be no other cost to you for the course.

Swami Satchidananda – “To Know Yourself”
“There’s no special technique. All the teachings are simple, and the practices too. Nothing here is very difficult. The only difficult task is ridding yourself of old habits. They will slowly go away if you cultivate new ones. It’s impossible to drive away old habits, but you can replace them with better ones. So bring the light and at the same time the darkness will go away. There are two voices in you, the lower self and the voice of your higher Self. If you can learn to hear the voice of your higher Self, then you can follow what it says. The pure Self doesn’t have to become happy, it is always that way. You are doing the practices (meditation, pranayama, asana) so you won’t lose your peace. Your practices are not to achieve happiness, but to stop anything from disturbing it.”
