The Teacher Body

Over 80 Active Teachers

Sivananda Yoga Centre, Gurgaon has a teacher body of over 80 active teachers. Each of them has completed his or her International Yoga Teachers’ Training course certified by Yoga Alliance to teach yoga anywhere in the world. This teacher body, growing and maturing as each day goes by, is one of the largest pools of qualified yoga teachers of the Sivananda system in the world, practicing and teaching together at one centre and in one city. All the teachers at the Centre offer their time and teaching on a voluntary basis, making their work an act of seva, selfless service. The students therefore get a teacher who is not only highly trained and knowledgeable about yoga, but also one who is compassionate, gentle, caring and giving, without any inclination towards external reward. Each teacher leads by example, and it is a profound learning experience, just to be in their presence. Our yoga teachers in Gurgaon teach on an average between 100 and 500 classes in a year.
