I have completed 300 hour weekend Yoga teacher training Bangalore @ karuna yoga Vidya Peetham. I can't express enough about the fact that I am so excited to have tracked down yoga at Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham. Astounding yoga school … More for an incorporated practice that is conventional yet present day. An extraordinary spot to develop as a yogi and learn legitimate arrangement and additional difficult stances. I have ventured out from my to visit my folks and I have been looking for a pleasant yoga studio in Bengaluru. Tragically, I've been seeing a pattern among educators and studios and that is they aren't concentrating on their understudies. I currently regularly find that educators will remain before the class however only from time to time do any of them give significant individual remedies. That isn't true at Karuna Yoga. The faculties at Karuna yoga are exceptionally steady about showing appropriate structure and offering individual consideration.

Before starting this course, most of my friends informed me that practising and completing yoga teacher … More training online would be challenging. However, the amount of support I received from Dr Karuna Murthy and Rati Rao (teachers) was exceptional and facilitated me in learning theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Dr Murthy Sir is well educated, experienced and very patient. I attended a few external yoga sessions online, which were organised by Dr Murthy Sir, and it helped me enhance my knowledge.
