I came to Bangalore to follow a 10 day private teacher training with Karuna, and it was a truly enriching experience.
I already hold a 200 h TTC in Hatha Yoga, as well as other diplomas. However, through my own experience, I feel that … More a 200 h yoga training is not enough to fully grasp the bigger picture of what yoga truly is. What I deeply appreciated with Karuna is that he also offers trainings focused on specific subjects, allowing for a much deeper and more embodied understanding.
For this private yoga training, I chose to explore mudras, mantras, and somatics. Being able to dive deeply into these themes helped me clarify and understand other aspects of yoga more clearly, not only intellectually, but also through direct experience, guided by Karuna.
The one to one format is a real gift. It creates space to ask questions, to slow down, and to spend more time on areas that personally need deeper integration. Karuna also shares related knowledge and encourages dialogue with what you are learning, making the whole process very alive and meaningful.
I truly appreciate how Karuna offers many different subjects and learning formats, and how he adapts his teaching to each person. His approach is attentive, sensitive, and respectful of individual paths.
Another beautiful aspect is that during the weekend, group students join the classes. Karuna skillfully manages to continue our individual learning while also allowing a collective learning experience. This opens the learning in a different and enriching way.
I had a wonderful time, and I will very likely continue other trainings with Karuna, either online (which is also an option 😉) or in Bangalore.
Namaste 🙏 -
