The Ganesh College of Yoga helped me develop my yoga practice in many ways.  I have learned true and original yoga including original philosophy, asanas and history.

When I decided to begin the course, I was taking classes at a local studio several times a week.  Some teachers had a way of teaching that gave me a glimpse of something other than the physical.  I began to wonder about that.  I began to crave deeper knowledge of the philospohy of yoga.  I chose the Ganesh College of Yoga becuase after looking into other schools, it became apparent that I would get what I was seekeing here.

 

It took a few months to notice the effects of the training.  I began to notice first how I felt better physically.  Then I noticed how I began to look at life differently.  Life events occurred during my training that previously I would have been unable to manage emotionally.

 

Some of my favorite weekends were weekends we focused on the yoga sutras and the Bhagavad Gita.  Having someone who is as comfortable with the scriptures as Ganesh is such a gift. Thanks for the experience.

This teacher training program has helped me to round out my practice.  Before I began, I had taken many yoga classes, but only had a spattering of the philosophy behind yoga.  This course put everything into a context.  I now know the yogic philosophy much better than I ever had.  I know the history of yoga much better than I ever had.  I can talk more confidently about the chakras, yamas, and niyamas, the sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita.  When I read articles about yoga and meditation, I understand them more completely because I know who Patanjali is, who Arjuna is, what a mantra is and its purpose.  Through the course I was able to read Iyengar's book and study the way he analyzes each asana.  I've learned the importance of daily meditation and gratitude.  I've also learned the importance of giving back to others.  I've learned that it is all part of a good yoga practice.  Thank you Ganesh!
