FAQ
Why is the school named "Ganga Yogashala"?
Our name is inspired by the River Ganga, symbolizing purity, eternal flow, and the washing away of the ego. We aim to provide a practice that is as steady and life-giving as the river itself, rooted in the traditional spiritual heritage of India.
Do I need to be flexible to start yoga with you?
Not at all. In the Iyengar tradition, we say that yoga is for the stiffest bodies. We use props like blocks and straps to bring the floor to you, ensuring you gain flexibility safely without straining your joints.
How do live online classes differ from recorded videos?
Our classes are fully interactive. Using high-definition streaming, our instructors provide real-time verbal adjustments and alignment corrections, just as if you were in our physical shala
What if I miss a live session during the Online TTC?
All sessions are recorded and uploaded to our student portal within 24 hours. You will have lifetime access to these recordings for your personal study and review.
Is the Online Yoga Teacher Training (TTC) globally recognized?
Yes. Ganga Yogashala is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. Upon completion of our 200-hour or 300-hour online TTC, you will be eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), allowing you to teach anywhere in the world.
I am a beginner; can I join the 200-hour Teacher Training?
