15 February – 16 March 2018 International 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Course
Himalayas, Dharamshala, Hindistan
300-Hours International Advanced TTC will take place in the magical environment of Himalaya Mountains in the Dharamshala Norbulingka Institute by Cetin Cetintas and Serra Sagra for 30 days. There is a limited space to give a high quality education and personal attention to each student for deepening their practice. If you have already completed a 200-Hours TTC and if your practice has a solid foundation then you are ready for this training which will transform your practice.
Even though yoga is for everyone, taking the practice to a subtle level and deepening it is only possible for people with strong minds. In this training advanced meditation and pranayama techniques and stronger asanas will be practiced to strenghten your mind.
The applicants are expected to follow the ashram rules since the TTC will take place in an ashram. The rules are stated below and it is mandatory to follow them.
During the training you will learn to become aware and to transform into the observer of yourself, to control your mind. While experiencing the existence of prana, you will have deep practices on controlling it. By using the breath as a bridge between the body and the mind; you will strengthen the weakened connection between them. The most important 3 keys for your journey are; concentration, awareness and surrender.
The training will especially concentrate on the first 4 limbs of yoga. Three books that a yoga teacher should know very well will be studied thoroughly; Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Bhagavad Gita. Some parts of Upanishads will be also covered.
More important than these, with deep practices you will discover your true-self. By experiencing the withdrawal of senses called pratyahara, as a teacher you will learn to reflect your students.
The biggest intent in this training is to isolate the mind from modifications and to stay in the “reality”. During these 30 days you will practice to make a jump of consciousness to realize what is the “real” one, what is the “finite” one?

What is Ashram?
The place we call Ashram is the “home” where you return to your-self, where you get out of all the illusions of the social life and the material life style and to get rid off all the distracting things that prevent you from being your true self. According to yogi understanding social life is a system based on constant brainwashing the person that sometimes leads him/her to a meaningless life. In an ashram, with the inspiration of being in a place created to let you be your true self and to be surrounded by people with awareness, you will have the courage to ask questions like “Who am I? What the purpose of my being? What do I want? Why do I want?” and to work on these. And again here we can find the answers to all these questions on the inside.
