I had a 200 hours yoga teacher training in 2011. That time the school located in Kerala. My yoga teacher was Bhooma. What can I say about the school. I loved it. In the beginning it was quite difficult to get used to the schedule. And now I really miss it! This course will help you to become not only a yoga teacher but also a disciplined person, will give you a food for reflection and new kind friends. I really have only positive memories and emotions about this experience! Good luck!

I am all packed and ready to leave, but I'm leaving with a heavy heart. I've fallen in love with this place. The ashram, the people, my gurus, the food & the culture. I had no knowledge of yoga, despite that, I was accepted by agreeing to arrive a week earlier to learn the basic postures. My first 2 weeks was very challenging.Training was intense. Parameswaren one of the gurus guided me from day one. I'm glad and I am so blessed to have chosen to do my course here. It is one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I highly recommend you whose here to discover yourself, this is where your journey begins. It is a life changing experience for anyone that is searching for your inner self. I've grown mentally and spiritually and will definitely share with others all that I've learned through out my stay here. Bhoomaji & Parameswaren are gurus with years of experience and with wide knowledge of authentic Hatha yoga. They teach with passion, and they know when to push you and when to let you discover things yourself. They know your capabilities and help as much as they can to guide you. When you meet them, you will know in your heart that you made the right choice and you are at the right place. As weeks passed by, I lost count of the day and the time, I enjoyed my classes and took all the opportunity I had to chat with the gurus. Philosophy class was fun with Swami Yogesh. He is always high in spirit. He is so full of enthusiast and he really tries to ensure we understand despite coming from various backgrounds and culture. Gurus made class fun as they had a great sense of humor. On the rest days Bhoomaji made trips for us to the beach, water falls & mountains. Beautiful places with amazing scenery. Bhoomaji also conducted a cooking class for us to show us how some of the signature dishes were prepared. Ingredients were natural & healthy. Food was amazing! I loved it so much that I extended my stay to learn some kerala cooking with Parameswarens wife. An amazing experience I had. I learned some delicious healthy dishes from her. Most of the ingredients were picked from their farm, and was cooked in a very traditional method. In the evening it was so relaxing to hear them sit as a family and chant the mantras. I enjoyed every second of my stay there. So simple yet so happy. Isn't that what life is all about? We also had a short tour to the farm where we were given sugar cane & tamarind to try! We saw people milking cows and were shown some of the herbs that are used for Ayurveda medicines. The teachings and experiences has taught me different perspectives in life. I realize that I'm a much calmer person now and I look at situations in a very different manner. I highly recommend You who would want to have a life changing experience, it is here. I came with understanding of learning just asanas, never would I have imagined how yoga has transformed me. Today I truly understand that Yoga is indeed the way of life.

I feel very fortunate that I choose this very authentic institution for my yoga training and very grateful for the time I spend with some wonderful people in Panamana Ashram. There is divinity in every inch of the place, love and support from everyone involved. Teachers were embodiment of values and what they taught. Their genuine support, loving care and expertise in their field was outstanding whether it was philosophy, yoga practice, anatomy or ayurveda. All the teachers and support staff are very helpful. I had most wonderful month during training with the very authentic people who lives the values they teach. This was probably most wonderful month of my life and I was immersed in every moment of that month.

I took the ATTC a few years ago and it totally changed my practice, my teaching and aspects of my life. I have more clarity about asana, pranayama and cleansing techniques thanks to Bhooma-ji and philosophy thanks to Swami-ji. I have learned, through this course, that Yoga may seem complicated, but it is actually simple and clear. I felt very equipped to share the teachings with my students. The teachers care about the students and we are nourished not only by the teachings, but also by wonderful food. The new location is amazing, and was created with love and intention especially for the purpose of teaching and I look forward to returning soon. I highly recommend Aarsha Yoga Vidya Peetham.

Bhooma Chaitanya is an authentic traditional Yoga Teacher and Yogi. His course is a imersion not only in the asana part and how to teach, but also in the Yogi life. I feel totally encouraged to start teaching and all what I learnt has given me all the confidence I needed. The new school at Kunnumpara ashram is just amazing, it was built in a ecological way, everything was made by hand, and you can feel a special energy, they grow organic vegetables and fruits with what they prepare our meals. I had an amazing room with sea view. The school grounds also has a beautiful temple on a rock where you can meditate and watch the sunset. You can see the local lifestyle through the people whom live and visit the ashram. A peaceful space full of energy, with a great Yoga master who knows how to integrate, yoga practise with yogic lifestyle. I will come back for my 300hrs. next year. Best experience I had so far, totally recommend it.

Hello, I just returned from the last program which ended the 30th of November 2019 and would like to share my experience. It's a very good program, complete, well structured, organized and rigorous. Bhoomaji is an excellent teacher, he knows deeply about yoga and how to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with his students. We learned in a very detailed way how to prepare a class, how to adjust and build each Asana. He is a charismatic person and an inspiration to his students. Swamiji, the philosophy teacher is another character! He motivated us by sharing his deepest knowledge on the subject, his lessons were entertaining because he applied the philosophy to our everyday life. The whole team is so nice, always ready to help and make our lives easier in a beautiful environment. The food was also delicious, mostly vegan, extremely healthy and sourced from their own agriculture. It's very important to stay in an Ashram to understand the real meaning of Yoga and to live the real experience. It's very intense, emotional and unforgettable. Thank you to each one of you for your dedication, your care, for sharing your knowledge and your life experience with us. I feel a privileged person after having received so much from you.

It was exactly the course I was looking for. Bhoomaji Chaitanya is an amazing guru and a lovely person, who will lead you through the yoga life. I did the 200 TTC and 300 TCC in the school and I had all the tools I needed to teach. Kunnumpara, the ashram is just beautiful, surrounded by nature and I really enjoyed the satvic food. For me it was a lifechanging experience.

I was in the Ashram for my 300h course and was the best choice I have ever made. The teacher Bhoomaji is very powerful and peaceful Yogi. He share his knowledge with open heart, humbleness and reliability. Swamiji, philosophy teacher, such a wise man. His teaching is more than study the scriptures, it's teaching of Life. The place it's amaizing. In the middle of the Kerala nature, full of palms, papaya trees, banana trees, jack fruit and other colorful plants, full of many different species of birds and peacock also. From the rooftop of the Ashram you can apriciate the sea view and the sweet breeze from the indian ocean. The beach is very close and easy to reach it during free time. Delicious organic food cooked with kerala tradition. The best milk that I even drink before directly from the cows of the ashram. During my time there I've grown a lot in my yoga practice. I achived some of the most advanced asanas and very good pranayama practice. Highly raccommend if you want to live a deep spiritual Yogi experience. Love Chiara

I was very happy that I took the 300 hours course in this ashram. It was wonderful experience for me. The teachers are great. I enjoyed every single classes.. Asana, Philosophy, Meditation, and so on... I learned many things from them and I could have changed both external and internal. The place is calm and beautiful, the food is very good with fresh vegetables, the accommodation is clean and comfortable. In that favorable conditions I could focus on Yoga , which is wonderful. Also I could meet many new very good friends. Every moment I enjoyed in this course time.

I took my 200 and 300 hrs TTC with Bhooma Chaitanya. His competent school, Aarsha Yoga Vidya Peetham / Yoga India Meditation, is an amaaaazing place in Nature. You can see the ocean and hear birds, peacocks, cows, the sounds of the forest and the temple,... while you are practicing. All the classes are in the Yogahall, open air! Food is amazing too, cooked traditionally and many fruits and vegetables are recollected here, in their own garden! I feel as at home :-) Everyday we had Meditation, Asana, Pranayama and Philosophy classes, and Anatomy classes, Chantings, Sanscrit learning too. We did some kryas, experiences guided by our expert Master, that I never have done, a great opportunity! I am happy with the group, people of different places of the world. It is not a big group so much better to learn! Bhoomaji is a great, traditional teacher, master in pranayama too, who take care of all the students, and his staff and collaborators are exceptional too. Definitelly, I found the right teacher, the right place to learn. I feel so thakfull!!! Thank you!
