Rama School of Yoga If you want to do your teacher training program in paradise this is the program for you. I attended the 200 Hour Ashtanga Vinyassa and Hatha Teacher Training Program at the Rama School of Yoga in Febuary 2020. It is truly difficult to find words to describe my extraordinary experience. Overall the experience was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. It was a complete mental, physical and spiritual journey. The transformation during this teacher training will always be with me. I could not have fathomed the tremendous amount of knowledge I gained. Rather than tire from the intense challenging schedule I grew more and more enthusiastic and passionate with each passing day. Before long a spark was ignited and now I behold a deep burning eternal flame to forever be a student and teacher of yoga the rest of my days. Through daily Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyassa practice I discovered physical abilities I never dreamt of being capable of. Amidst all of this was compassion, love and kindness among fellow students and our beloved teacher Rama. Our true treasures are the lasting friendships, the birth of our love of teaching and the empowerment to do and become anything. With all this and so much more I became a yogi and my heart grew ten times. As I learned and continued to grow each day my love of yoga and its beautiful philosophy deepened. You will learn the yogi life and spirit. You will be challenged again and again and will learn advanced Hatha practice and the intense Ashtanga Vinyassa primary series. You will be excited to learn the asana names and to count in Sanskrit. You will be delighted when the founder and owner of the school, Rama, teaches you the majority of each day. He is exceptional. He has an extraordinary gift. Rama teaches with a unique blend of compassion, skill, discipline and love. He has an extensive knowledge of yoga and has a magnificent way of conveying this to each student no matter their yoga experience. With his beautiful art he cares for each student with heartfelt respect and concern. Though Rama is often teaching us as a group he always gives individual instruction as needed. He puts you at ease at all times and you feel very comfortable asking any questions. Whether you are a beginner or advanced Rama treats everyone with the same attention and care. He has a beautiful way of making each of us feel so very special. Rama was completely committed to helping each of us find and be the best version of ourselves. He will push you beyond your prior mental and physical barriers. He will open the doors to a powerful spiritual journey where the impossible becomes possible. Before dawn, with only the sound of hypnotic waves, your body warms with a wonderful Hatha yoga practice. This sets the mood for a completely beautiful day. This is perfectly followed by a Pranayama practice. You will learn several breathing techniques. One never knew breathing could be so good or so transformative. After Pranayama you and your classmates will gather for breakfast. The food is phenomenal. Everything is prepared fresh each day. It includes a delicious variety of traditional vegetarian food from the region. The staff who cook and serve are beyond lovely. They sincerely go above and beyond for everyone. During morning break one can rest, study, or jump in the fantastic Arabian Sea. I chose the latter and found bliss and my own limbs of yoga there. I believe the ocean was a glorious respite in countless ways and prevented physical injury. After break, a highlight of the day, was the two to three hour Ashtanga and Hatha asanas class. It was phenomenal! Rama would teach each asana and it’s modifications and adjustments in great detail. It was fantastic fun! Rama or one of the students would demonstrate and then we would all participate and practice on each other. It was a dream how much we all learned from each other. There was time for questions, notetaking, and even photographs. This was an absolutely incredible experience. We all encouraged each other and shared our various strengths. We listened, we pushed, and we laughed. We all improved so much. In the afternoon, you will learn philosophy in the initial weeks and anatomy the last week. Thankfully you will receive extensive philosophy on the eight limbs of yoga. For the first time you will truly learn the limbs and these eight limbs then become a part of you. Through understanding the eight limbs you will truly begin to live “a yogi life.” A simple and beautiful life. For example, your room will be comfortable but basic. You will make time to clean your room, hand wash your clothes, and hang them on a line outside your room. You will work together in small groups and rotate cleaning the yoga hut and replenishing the water cooler. Each day your appreciation of the intensely beautiful nature around you will deepen. You will hear the calm waves everywhere you go day and night. The smell of the fresh ocean air will never let you tire. Everywhere the plush green large leaf vegetation will brighten the day. The natural light was a constant inspiration to me. Whenever possible we stopped to marvel at every glorious sunset. Living there beside the Arabian Sea was a dream. In the late afternoon your body, mind, and soul will undergo an incredible transformation with Ashtanga Vinyassa practice. Ultimately you will learn the Mysore style. At first this style may seem frightening but this will quickly change. Rama is present in case guidance is needed during this self practice. Only after you return home do you truly appreciate your tremendous gift. The Mysore practice was the humble beginning of your teaching journey. Your days will end with restorative meditation in the open air of the yoga hut or beside the magnificent Arabian Sea. Both settings perfect for a deep relaxing meditation. A small group of us had a favorite after dinner ritual. We would take a peaceful stroll along the beach at night under a dark beautiful blanket of the brightest stars. What a joy to chat and share the enthusiasm of the day. On weekends you can rest, study and or explore. Rama is incredibly kind and offers to safely take the group to some of his favorite spots in the region. These weekend outings are optional. I will always remember our super fun adventures to the beautiful river one weekend and the majestic mountains another weekend. All fun aside, during this teaching training course you will be intensely challenged, you will be positively pushed and before graduation will teach an entire Hatha or Ashtanga Vinyassa half primary series class on your own! May you now understand the possibilities for your own mental, physical, and spiritual discovery and transformation while at the Rama School of Yoga. You will see and hear the Arabian Sea long after you leave India. Sanskrit will forever dance in your head. The compassion, kindness, and wisdom Rama shares will live in your heart the rest of your days. The friendships made will be unbreakable. Your passion to live a life with a yogi heart will be forever ignited. Endless doors will be opened and you will be empowered to dream with endless possibility. Come to the Rama School of Yoga. Live paradise. Do what fills your heart each day. You will only want to sing. Close your eyes and listen to your beautiful melody. Sending you the salty soothing breeze The peaceful rhythmic waves The comfort of wet sand underfoot And all the joy in every bubble of the foam of the Sea. Namaste

My parents and I stayed in Ayur Hermitage for about 12 days and we couldn't be more satisfied with the service we received. The doctors were very professional and took a personal approach to find the right diet and treatment to suit us all best. The Ayurvedic food was delicious with large portions. We always felt full but at the same time losing kilos, plus they gave us some good advise to continue our healthy habits and continue losing weight once we are back home. I felt that my body, mind and skin feels much clearer after being there. Both my parents and I lost about 5-6 kg each and still counting. We found that to be very good for just a 12 day stay. The retreat had a very cosy atmosphere and almost felt like you were at home with such kind people around you. The rooms were always clean and tidy and the staff were very attentive if something was required. I had a fully air conditioned room with hot water and WIFI. The massage and treatments were excellent and I had most lovely lady with over 10 years experience doing my massage. We are all back in rainy Europe now, but our hearts and minds are very much still there. We are looking forward to returning one day and doing it all over again.Can not wait!! Lots of love, Family R.

Relaxation ,rejuvenation. These by a professionally trained group of down to earth doctors amd nurses. The male therapist was humble , understood clients requirements. Chief doctor is a busy doctor. But teh power and energy she passes on to the team and us. She makes medicines upto date. And junuor doctors and nurses apply it. We may not get a good description of the use of treatments from the staff for sometimes the nurses appear cluelss on why the pack. Junior doctors will give an explanation. But i tell u catch hold of the doctor and clear your doubts. The other clients had zero doubts fir they were just happy with the changes each day. But as i had taken panchakarma ...have been taking for the last 8 years almost consecutive with a year break on 2016, from manybother hospitals and finding the rituals of Pranaavam so different, i was curious. Dr.AthiraShiji gave a complete explanation of the treatments and she even gave us a cistomised diet chart after a week of ending treatment. This clinic, undoubtedly is the best, the very best choice if you have some medical conditions. Rooms are neat and clean. If pranavam is thriving on word of mouth,give credits to the doctor and her team.
