Yes and no. A good level of fitness is necessary, if we look at Yoga from a physical aspect, you will need to have some endurance, strength and flexibility to be able to get the most from the course.

Once you have reserved your spot on the course, we do recommend that you start practicing physical yoga postures as much as you can.

Reading is always a bonus, but it is not obligatory.

We meet all of our students where they are at, there will always be a mix of knowledge and physical ability in the group.

Being a beginner in Yoga is broad and diverse, some may naturally be more able than others due to culture or lifestyle.

If you show great dedication and devotion to learning Yoga, the training may be suitable. Please contact us if you consider yourself a beginner to evaluate if it would be appropriate for you to participate in the course. It is important that you practice regularly, have good physical stamina and are physically fit.

For the opening ceremony you will need to bring an outfit of all white. For the course itself, make sure you will be comfortable. If your course is in November, December, January or February it is recommended to pack warm clothes as it can get cold. The area of Rishikesh itself is conservative so it is advised for your own comfort to dress modestly.

Yoga is much more than the physical postures, you will still benefit greatly from the course. However please contact us if you have doubts, so we can evaluate if it would be appropriate for you to participate in the course.
