I’ve just finished the 200 Hour Yoga Institute TTC program with Nilaya House. I have to say this has been an incredible journey. If anyone wants to do an authentic Hatha Yoga training – this is the course that is happening in Dubai.
Through the course, I received not only knowledge of Hatha Yoga but also formed relationships and bonds with the people of the program. The training is very nurturing. They talk not just about asanas but they teach you a lot of content about concepts, and philosophy which is incredible. I’m just sad that I hadn’t found this program earlier.
What I loved most about the Teacher Training course was the length it took. With most other institutes I found that everything would be crammed into a short amount of time, whereas here it was spaced out into a period of three months.
I found that to be very helpful and useful as I got the time to absorb the knowledge and practice everything that we’ve been taught. I also enjoyed my personal interactions with all the instructors. Having more than one source of knowledge was very helpful.
I also received a lot of guidance and assistance to manage my work-life balance as I was a little worried as to how I would manage a full-time work schedule and the yoga course. Luckily, with the help of the instructors and the flexible options, I was provided with I was able to continue until the end and the support I received was extremely motivating.
If you are looking for the free time to start or the right time to start, then the right time is always now
“The experience was absolutely beautiful, it was a very spiritual experience. What related the most with me was the philosophy of yoga. The catch for me to come into this was more asanas, but the more I learnt about the philosophies, about the Bhavas, about different types of yogas and yoga path.
The knowledge was just wonderful, it was amazing and I have really truly understood that yoga is a way of life – and it’s not an activity that you do, but a life that you live, based on all the wonderful principles and philosophy that I learnt in this course.
The teachers were amazing, very knowledgeable. Each session left me completely in awe of the content of what was being taught and the expertise of the teachers was amazing.”
