Best Ashram for Sivananda TTC in India

Livingstone · 08-31-2009, 04:03 PM

I want to do the Sivananda TTC in one of the Ashrams in India.

Neyyar Dam (Kerala) was attracting me most at first mainly because of the wonderful natural surroundings; however it seems to be quite overcrowded and leaking Individuality.

According to this blog Madurai is the far better option:

Anyone here who has also experienced both Ashrams?

I have only been to the one in Rishikesh. Looked solid and neat in both program and dedication. Have you checked for TTC's there?

I think Sivananda ashrams do tend to be in beautiful, natural surroundings, so i think you will find this whichever one you chose to go to. TTC in Neyyar Dam can be very busy with up to 350 people attending. It has certain advantages being the biggest ashram with most comprehensive facilities, and i have experienced absolutely excellent teachers working there too. However if you require a smaller, more intimate experience i think UttarKAshi would be a good choice, in the Himalyas, but do be prepared to wait up to 9months for a place as the classes are only 30 people and some of those places are reserved for local people.

You will find many places in india where they teach Yoga & Meditations on their own way. But this place which is in the centre of Bangalore offers
you tailormade residential courses as well as provide good food(satvic) & open up the new avenues of spirituality where many westerners like to feel.
This place is known as Nishane School of Spiritual Sciences. To know more log on to nishaneschool.com .They have an ashram in Rishikesh also..
I really feel to send the message to the person in need coz of the knowledge & the good work happening there....

i just did TTC in new york with Sivananda, most of the students were not at all close to being sattvic in their conversation and behavior

when i got over hating this I grew to love them, but their discussions were often petty and rajasic

the TTC itself was lovely.

Hi all

also trying to pick the best ashram for a TTC

anyone got knowledge about Rishikesh Yog Peeth , they seem to have a very old history and tradition

Sivananda also looks good ....comparing what i found so far in $ AUD

Yoga Vidya Dham -------- 4 weeks - $ 750
Rishikesh Yoga peeth -- 6 weeks - $ 1000
Sivananda ------------------- 4 weeks - $ 2400
Svyasa University - ------ 4 weeks - $ 700
Satyananda-----------------16 weeks - $1500

prefer a longer course than a short one.... want quality.

opinions ?

The prices seem to be very high at sivananda. For a longer course with quality also see Tulasidalam and yogapoint.
