Education on the course is based on the traditions of Gurukula. This is a classic way of knowledge transferring in the spiritual tradition of Yoga. Its basis is the trust and mutual respect between teacher and pupil. The purpose is to get the complete physical, mental and spiritual development of pupils. We recommend to look through our teaching, attending classes and satsangs (group meditation) at one of the Sivananda centers.
