BALA YOGA SCHOOL
Connecting Mind, Body, and Spirit for Better Living
ABOUT US
Welcome to Bala Yoga School, a place where the very essence of youth, encapsulated by the Tamil word "Bala" forms the cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Here, we firmly believe that youthfulness transcends mere age; it is a state of mind defined by boundless curiosity, unwavering vitality, an adventurous spirit, and an enduring commitment to lifelong learning and unlearning.
Our specially curated Teacher Training Course (TTC) is designed to not only nurture the teacher within but also ignite the spirit of the eternal learner.
As you embark on this journey with us, you'll dedicate your time, energy, and effort to learning essential life skills. Our program emphasizes discipline through daily asana practices, morning pranayama and chanting, and daily yoga and meditation sessions. These practices empower you to cultivate a strong, injury-free self-practice—an essential foundation for teaching others.
Our TTC is fully approved and certified by Yoga Alliance, USA, recognized worldwide as the standard qualification for yoga teaching. We hold true to traditional values, prioritizing the deeper aspects of yogic lifestyle over the superficial. While we honor the physical aspect of yoga, we firmly believe in the holistic philosophy that encompasses the five dimensions of wealth/health: physical, mental, social, financial, and spiritual.
Yoga, in our eyes, is not just a physical practice; it's an esoteric philosophy that aims to build all five dimensions of wealth/health. Asanas contribute to physical health, meditation nurtures mental well-being, and being part of a community of like-minded individuals fosters social health. Financial health is addressed by acquiring new skills that can be shared and remunerated, ultimately leading to spiritual health—a deep understanding of our true selves.
