One of the most frequently asked questions is what is the best age to join yoga teacher training?? Am I too young to join or too old to become a yoga teacher<\/strong>? Do we have to be of a certain age to join yoga teacher training? Well, it is recommended to be at least 18 years old to join a yoga teacher training in the Rishikesh program but there is no specific age limit. Anyone can join a yoga teacher training course whether you are in your 20\u2019s, 30\u2019s or even 40. At Rishikesh Yog mandir<\/a><\/strong> we have students who are in \u201940s and they are very passionate about yoga and never miss a class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One should understand that yoga is an inside job<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga is not just a\nphysical exercise although yoga asana is a big part of yoga teacher training.\nIt is much more than that all yogasanas are created to prepare your body for\nDhyana. It connects you to your inner self and initiates that mind, body and\nsoul connection that brings harmony in your body and uplift your consciousness\nand spirits. Hence the physical practice is a little drop of a vast ocean this\nancient science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not just a physical practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet is full of\nbeautiful models posing in difficult yoga poses that intimidate most of us that\nwe are not flexible enough we are not young enough to do these yoga poses.\nHowever, it is not true yoga teacher training covers a lot of thing such as the\nspiritual, emotional and mental aspect of life apart from the physical aspect.\nIn yoga philosophy, you will read about its history, the core values of yoga\nand how you can imbibe those principles in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It teaches you that your breath is your anchor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Patanjali yoga\nsutra asanas are quoted as one of eight\nlimbs of yoga<\/strong> which was earlier seen as a way to physically prepare your\nbody for the seated meditation. However, when it comes to settling the mind\nyour breath is a ruler. You will learn that your pranayama is the ultimate\nruler of mind, body, emotions and soul. It is the first step of meditation\nhence for most people yoga teacher training is like a huge emotional rebirth.\nSo, the people who are in old age has passed from different phases of life\nhence knows how to handle every situation with grace in a calm and mature way.\nFor young people, it can be an emotional wreck. They have to learn how to\nembrace things and let them go as they exhale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier to be a yogi a\nstudent has to go through different phases of ashrams that are brahmacharyagrahasthashram,\nvanaprasthashram and last samnyasa<\/strong>. In brahmacharya<\/strong>\nthe students have to go to an ashram to learn discipline, continence, wisdom\nfrom their teachers. In grahasthashram<\/strong>\none has to perform the duties of the household, in vanaprastha<\/strong> one has to move to the jungle to live as a hermit. Sannyasa<\/strong> was quoted as a stage where\nthe yogi has detached from all worldly possessions. Now the concept of the\nashram has lost it has more become of a lifestyle. However, in yoga teacher training in Rishikesh<\/strong>, you\nwill experience what a traditional yogi would have experience including\ndiscipline, continence, perseverance, spiritual upliftment, meditation apart\nfrom asanas. If you want to move forth in a journey that leads you towards\nspirituality, self-contentment and self-realization you can enroll for yoga\nteacher training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 So, whether you are young or old (unless you are having a certain ailment), you can join a yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh<\/a> <\/strong>as yoga welcome everyone with open arms and heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
