Discover the Essence of Yoga in Nature’s Lap

Yoga Vana is not just a learning center; it is an invitation to rediscover your inner space and respond consciously to life. Our Yoga Teacher Training School, the Yoga Vana Forest Academy, holds the esteemed status of being an Associate Center of the Indian Yoga Association (IYA) and a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance (YA), USA. Our residential 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training Courses and Yoga & Ayurveda Retreats unfold in the lap of nature, fostering a connection with the roots of Yoga.

Traditional Wisdom in Modern Learning

Rooted in the Sivananda Yoga teaching tradition, Yoga Vana provides extensive training in Hatha Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, and Yoga Asanas. Our programs offer a unique blend of traditional teachings with modern methods, empowering individuals not just to deepen their personal practice but also to share the profound teachings of Yoga with others.

Tailored for diverse interests and levels, these retreats offer a conscious break from routine. Immerse yourself in intensive study, practice more deeply, or begin your yoga journey in a focused and wholesome manner.

Emotional Intelligence and Conscious Communication

Building on the yogic principle of ahimsa (nonviolence), our activities focus on enhancing Emotional Intelligence and Conscious Communication. The Yoga Vana Teacher Training Course includes a unique Emotional Intelligence module, empowering teachers to guide students compassionately. Deep listening exercises and principles from Nonviolent Communication are integrated to foster effective communication.

Living in Tune with Nature: Yoga Vana Tree Project

Yoga and environmental consciousness go hand in hand at Yoga Vana. Through the Yoga Vana Tree Project, we plant a tree for every student graduating from our Yoga Teacher Training Course. This not only symbolises growth but also reflects gratitude to India, the birthplace of Yoga. Committed to being carbon-negative/climate positive, we integrate greenhouse gas accounting into our routine, gradually offsetting emissions by planting trees.

Nature Contemplation for Inner Harmony

Beyond the mat, Yoga Vana emphasises intuitive yogic practice in nature. Spending time outdoors, observing and connecting with nature, brings mental and physical health benefits. Yoga Vana Teacher Training Courses are intentionally conducted in natural environments, allowing for contemplation, stillness, and a rekindled relationship with nature.
