“Health is wealth, peace of mind is happiness, yoga shows the way.”
— Swami Vishnudevananda
Do you wish for more hours in the day to get things done? Do you want to attain a state of mind and body that helps you perform at peak capacity for longer periods of time? Do you want to learn how to maintain that level of performance, discovering methods for relaxation that you can seamlessly integrate into your daily routine so that you can maintain your unbelievable levels of output?
No matter where you are in life, no matter the state of your mind, spirit, or physical body, yoga can help. Register for this free webinar to learn more about the benefits of a yogic lifestyle and how you can boost your leadership potential and overall performance with the Teacher Training Program (TTC). Yoga is so much more than just physical posturing or even breath work; yoga is a frame of mind. It is a joyful perspective on the world. It is a set of values that align with kindness, beauty, truth, and happiness. It is a way of treating yourself, others, and Mother Earth. Yoga is a whole system of health and wellness that addresses every aspect of your wellbeing.

In 1969, Swami Vishnudevananda had a vision while meditating in our yoga retreat center on Paradise Island, Bahamas. In his vision, he saw the world on fire. He saw countless humans running around, breaking all sorts of manmade boundaries — boundaries caused by language, nation, race, gender, etc. — in their attempt to put out the fire. Although the vision appeared to be a bad omen at first, Swami Vishnudevananda quickly understand that the fire was pointing towards something much needed by humanity: a conflict that would bring everyone together, regardless of societal separations of language, nation, race, gender, etc. To help humanity prepare for the conflict, Swami Vishnudevananda decided to start a course intent on training the future leaders of the world in the ways of yoga: the Teacher Training Course (TTC).
Swami Vishnudevananda understood firsthand that you can only bring peace to the world by first becoming that peace. Since 1969, the TTC has molded 50,000+ graduates into peace ambassadors all over the world. Those who have completed the course have gone on to do great things in every area of industry and society. Those who take the TTC experience a level of discipline and knowledge that is unquestionable; they leave the course with a fire for good lit within them. Recent graduates like celebrity nutritionist Mona Sharma and public figure Daniel Rama are excellent examples of the kind of movers and shakers that the TTC course produces.
In this 60-minute workshop with Rukmini Chaitanya, you’ll uncover these 4 essentials:
- The basics of the TTC program — why you should take the 1-month immersion, what living at the ashram looks like, and specifics of your certification (Yoga Alliance RYT 200 HRS).
- What you will learn during the TTC — an overview of your curriculum, including the wealth of history behind aspects taught in the course, such as Advaita Vedanta, karma yoga, meditation, and mantra.
- The benefits of the Yoga of Synthesis, as experienced through the 1-month immersion during the TTC, plus some anecdotal history on lineage preceptors Swami Vishnudevananda and Master Sivananda — a brief explanation of the rich history behind our lineage and the basic foundation of our teachings which was created by Master Sivananda and is known as the Yoga of Synthesis.
