Read What Our Alumni Say about the Course

I had a really good time learning all about Yoga. I was given individual attention and all my doubts were clarified. I was taught a lot of asanas to improve my flexibility. If you are looking for a place to do your ttc, I would definitely suggest karuna yoga vidya peetham.
