I was enrolled in YPC-3 course, December 2023 to January 2024. It was a very useful course in which we learnt correct techniques for doing various Asanas, Pranayams, Dhyan & Yogmudra. Also learnt lot of theory which helped to understand importance & science behind yogic practices.
Highly recommend Aarambh Yoga Institute to those who aspire to be a yoga teacher. Yoga teachers training course + YCB Level 2 - yoga wellness instructor course is the best for any beginner. The learning journey has been extremely smooth. The teachers are excellent. Never known yoga the way I know it now. The journey began with Aarambh... And to be continued...
