Why Choose Shivalaya for 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course in Pokhara Nepal
Nepal is a country known for its rich cultural heritage and time-honored traditions of yoga practices within it. Among its mountains include the Everest and Annapurna mountain ranges that we have the pleasure of seeing. Gods as Annapurna refers to nourishment, and we feel her presence and the symbolism of having her watch over us each day as we practice nourishing our mind, body, spirit.
This is the most serene environment one can find, and it is very much fit to practice the 500 hours yoga teacher certification course. The training would be viable because those instructors are well-experienced and the certified programs of teacher training are excellent ones in Nepal, which is a very suitable place to get lost with yoga practice and culture.
As per myth, it is said that Gorakhnath and Matsyendranath carried out their sadhana in this very place, and that sadhana forms the basis of what we practice even today! They’ve perfected their discipline and understood Seva (unconditioned love) in the very hills in which we live. Their energy lingers in the atmosphere, supporting practitioners to internalize.
