Be A Part of the Yoga Revolution Worldwide

Yoga had its origins in India over five thousand years ago. Yoga is generally believed to be the intermingling of human mind, body and spirit. It can be seen that out of the three only the human body is easily recognizable and tangible whereas mind and spirit are more intangible and abstract.

In the recent past there is a sudden spurt in the interest for Yoga evidently due to United Nations declaring 21^st June each year as International day of Yoga. The spurt in interest for yoga the world over has created a huge demand for Yoga practitioners who could guide the new yoga enthusiasts to practice yoga.

Even before spurt in demand, in the year 2006, Yogi Abhay had established Oceanic Yoga as a Yoga school to conduct perhaps the first Yoga teacher training course in India in the picturesque state of Goa in western India.

Oceanic Yoga’s vision is to train hundreds of Yoga teachers who in turn could impart Yoga training to other teachers interested in teaching yoga. By conducting Yoga teacher training courses in Goa, Oceanic Yoga is attempting to create a huge body of yoga teachers not only in India but all over the world so as to enable thousands of people to derive benefit from the practice of yoga.

Yogi Abhay’s foresight in establishing Oceanic Yoga in 2006 is proving to be beneficial because it is well poised to leverage the sudden spurt in demand for Yoga teachers. In order to give credence to the efficacy of training imparted at Oceanic Yoga, the school registered itself under the aegis of Yoga Alliance to run the Yoga School.

Yoga Alliance®, a nonprofit association representing the yoga community, was set up in order to systematize the practice of Yoga. Yoga Alliance’s mission is to promote and support the integrity and diversity of the teaching of yoga. Yoga Alliance provides universal access to safe yoga practices, upholds the worldwide growth of yoga through education and community, and encourages safe yoga instruction by adopting quantitative standards.

Armed with experienced yoga teachers certified by Yoga Alliance and registered as E-RYT200 or RYT500 instructors qualified to teach yoga for either 200 hours or 500 hours, Oceanic Yoga developed a yoga training program that is arguably among the best yoga teacher training programs in the world. Any student undergoing training at Oceanic Yoga will receive a certificate which empowers the student to conduct yoga teacher training programs anywhere in the world.
