200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course In Kerala
Why Choose Kerala for Yoga Teacher Training?
Kerala commonly referred as the Gods own country is among the most tranquil and naturally curing places of India making it a great Yoga Teacher Training place. Kerala is surrounded by green lush landscapes, coconut palms, serene beaches, and the soothing backwaters which makes it a natural environment where relaxation, focus and inner transformation takes place.
The reason is that Kerala is closely related to wellness and Ayurveda, which is one of the reasons to prefer this state as a place of yoga teacher training. The tropical climate, clean air and the traditional healing methods of the region also make the yogic practice complete and the body is made to detox and the mind is calmed down to a deeper state of consciousness. By doing yoga in this environment of care, students are able to forget about their everyday stress, and be able to get lost in the lifestyle of yoga.
Kerala offers a slower, more conscious pace of life as well, which is necessary to learn yoga in its original style. Out of urban areas, students are able to adhere to a regular daily routine that encompasses yoga sessions, meditation, self study and taking rest- establishing balance and harmony.
