What People Say !!!

David Canning, Ireland

I didn’t know what to expect from a TTC course, having never done anything similar before. The teachers all teach from the heart and from day one, I felt completely comfortable. They foster respect and kindness and the group flourished accordingly, under their support and  freekindness.. The course is very complete and whilst intense, it is structured very nicely.

Surinder is a wonderful teacher and he has a very lovely way of being able to simplify things. I came away feeling knowing Yoga is a life journey, which I think means they are loyal to what yoga is. They are not there to merely fabricate shiny new teachers in three weeks, but to send you home armed with the tools and knowledge to be a better person and to spread a little love.

It was a very beautiful experience.

Margaux Huvelle, Belgium

“Doing the TTC at Swasti is the best decision I ever made in my life! It has literally been one of the best experiences so far. A pure gift. I can only warmly deeply recommend anyone to go for it! If I could, I would spend at least 6 months training there 🙂

 If you are willing to discover the wonderful world of yoga and its incredible tools like the philosophy, asanas, alignment, pranayama and meditation, this is a MATCH. You will have amazing hatha classes with Surinder. I liked his classes so much that I stayed 3 more weeks after the TTC to keep attending it every single morning. Come as you are in his class and you will feel enough and included. You will Always get the perfect cues to adjust your alignment according to your body’s capacity. Surinder’s energy drives you to give your best effort while respecting yourself. The class will leave you physically and mentally deeply satisfied!

 Plus, each teacher of the TTC is very qualified and you will get so many tools to help you develop your own practice and share with others!

 Finally, I also loved the food, the quiet room and the venue with a rooftop facing the mountains and beautiful trees. Everything is there to help you be connected and savor this outer and inner journey!”

Silvia Spera, Italy

This is not just a Yoga Course. It’s a true journey into yourself. They say that it takes 21 days for the brain to get used to a new habit. Whether you are deciding for this course for getting the certificate to begin to teach or you are just doing this for your own personal experience, expect for an inner change towards a better version of yourself. 

Thank you guys. You guided me with kindness, knowledge, love and care. Thank you very much.
