Master Santhosh thoroughly and systematically teaches a fully comprehensive 200hrs (300hrs which I later attended) yoga training. His knowledge and that of the instructors is unparalleled to any other school I have visited. Also thought with zero ego. Immediately after our training we began to teach and are blessed to now have dozens of students around the world.
I was privileged to attend Yogadarshanam training for 300 hrs. Master Santosh’s demonstrative and prolific experiential sadhana gives his school a grace and elegance which delivers people from all backgrounds into the quality of the divine. The emphasis on chanting and therapy was particularly useful in coming to deep states during the training.
Santoshji Master has been my Yoga teacher, who has trained me from the time I could not even touch my toes or even like the practice of Yogasana, to today, being able to run our own institute of Yoga. He is selfless in his teaching and passionate in his delivery. I am grateful for everything I have learnt from him and will keep spreading the light of Yoga to the world.
Yogadarshanam is a highly recommended school as the ambiance and teachers are very friendly and homely. Santhosh Sir is a person of knowledge and humor, who is full of surprises and who is enthusiastic about the classes he takes. Every session is interesting, and new things can be learned daily.
Through Teacher Training, Santhoshji gave me great posture alignment and techniques for advanced postures. constructing asana flow, etc. It’s not about postures alone. Meditation, Pranayama, relaxation techniques, mudra, pregnancy yoga, acro yoga, anatomy, nutrition, etc were also scheduled in the course.
I have continued to tap into the wealth of insights gleaned during my advanced teacher training. My training helped me to survive from cancer & heal physically emotionally & mentally from the trauma. My oncologist said it was a miraculous recovery but I think it was the ancient practices of meditation & pranayama, mantras & mudras that made the real difference in my journey.
