GET TO KNOW THE DIVINE AURA YOGA SCHOOL 200-HR YTT INSTRUCTORS IN 3 QUESTIONS
Do you dream of being a Yoga Teacher? Is there a calling that pulls at your heart to guide others and share your love of the practice? It is our honour to announce that The Aura House will be home to Divine Aura Yoga School and facilitating the first in studio 200 HR Yoga Teacher Training beginning in July 2023. We are so lucky to have two of our incredible teachers leading the program, to share all the amazing knowledge & experience they possess. We asked Diana, the program’s creator, and Atul, the program’s co-facilitator, 3 important questions that we feel will tug on the heart strings of any aspiring yoga teacher considering pursuing their certification.
What was your personal intention in offering this training?
DIANA:
The Divine Aura Yoga School is a recognized yoga school and registered under the Yoga Alliance. The 200 hour program is based and rooted in Hatha Yoga Traditions. We focus on ensuring the highest educational standards, quality, integrity and professionalism. Our goal is to honor the traditions of yoga and provide a safe and brave space to grow in your yogic journey. This program is open to students aspiring to deepen their practice and studies, it is not limited to future yoga teachers only.
ATUL:
I would say if you are in a position of a "teacher", the intention will always be the same and that is I believe is to pass on what one has learned from their Gurus. The responsibility is on us as teachers and future yoga teachers to carry on the legacy of yoga. The True yoga is, not the one, we have made for our social world. Coming from the land of yoga, I feel like many of us has mistook the real meaning and purpose of it. The real teachings has left behind and we have adopted something else. More it is done for the outside world and to look better in someone else's eyes.
We are always learning something new at different phases of life and even I learn new things about yoga daily. The purpose is to open the gates for the people to an never ending ocean of knowledge by helping them to create a strong foundation and belief that what Yoga is all about.
What is unique about this program and sets it apart from others?
DIANA:
I truly believe every program is unique based on who is leading the training. I feel my skill set paired with Atul, gives us a unique approach. We want students to not only experience a well-rounded program, but to walk away knowing they can show up, as their authentic selves. We are an inclusive program who will meet our student where they are, and help support them through the program. We combine traditional teachings and a strong focus on anatomy.
ATUL:
There are so many schools/institutions these days and they all are offering precious knowledge of yoga. No one is superior or inferior. What makes you different is how honest you are and if you really understands the responsibility as a teacher. Also, having a first hand experience creates strong beliefs than trusting on just saying of others. Yoga has helped me to cure my health problems both at physical and mental level - so, we bring to the table. The life experience and belief in yoga philosophy, which will help our students to experience the best and learn the most from the experiences that Diana and I both have.
How will your students feel leaving this program?
DIANA:
This is a journey of yoga teacher training is a time of discovery. In your experience, you will discover the potential and capability of your mind, voice and body as a vessel for knowledge. When students walk away, I hope they feel confident, loved, supported and excited knowing they are beginning the next part of their journey.
ATUL:
"You will find what you seek." So, it depends on our students what they want to learn and focus on. They will get all of it here at one place. Yoga Philosophy, anatomy sessions, pranayama, right techniques/alignments of doing asanas, methodology classes, Therapeutic aspects of yoga are the key teaching points of our program.
I believe our students will leave feeling more connected to Yoga and be more confident of sharing it to the rest of the world. This training will help them to understand what yoga is all about, how it helps us to live a happy & contented life and most importantly, how to be be a good human being.
