What makes Raj Yoga School Special
We are committed to making your Yoga experience remarkable!
When someone commits 200 hours to study a subject (even one they love), it requires time, energy, and money. We are honoured when people trust us with their Yoga education. We do our best to provide an inspirational, authentic Yoga experience that sets a foundation for future learning, teaching, and personal development. The Raj Yoga School 23-day RYS-200 immersion Yoga certification is recognized worldwide through Yoga Alliance, and our reputation is something we are deeply proud of. You can check Raj Yoga School on the Yoga Alliance Website to see over five-star reviews from people who have graduated from our program and forged careers (Link below).
As a Yoga training facility (rather than a studio), our staff trains nearly 200 teachers each season, so the program has been refined and continues to evolve, raising educational standards and creating a genuinely inspirational learning environment. Yoga, introduced well, is an experience that lasts a lifetime. We keep programs small (averaging 10-16) so each student is recognized as an individual, has the opportunity to contribute to conversations and sharing, and the tribe can connect on a deeply personal level.
Best of all, students graduate feeling both competent and confident with a deep understanding of Yoga and a skill set that can be applied to their lives and improve the lives of others.
