WHY PICK AJARYA?
Selection of Teachers:
A. Practise:
Ajarya stipulates regularly, continued hours to its teachers for their personal sadhana (practice). Ajarya has removed such teachers who deviate from this cardinal principle.
B. Continued practice / Application of yoga in daily living:
Ajarya ensures all its lead yoga teachers have atleast a Post Graduation Degree or Diploma in Yoga.
All Ajarya teachers are encouraged to attend Continuing Yoga programs and refresher courses.
Ajarya encourages its teachers to regularly communicate with their Gurus and Acharyas by asking them to participate in seminars and conferences.
C. Dedication:
All Ajarya teachers must be present in all their sessions. If for any reason a teacher is absent, substitutes with more experience and knowledge take-over. Ajarya teachers build a standby team along with a main team for their courses.
D. Strength:
Ajarya has a progression plan for their teacher as detailed below in the Progression Plan!
E. Intuition or Higher Wisdom:
Ajarya encourages its Teachers to teach in other Teachers' Traning program where their experience can help many more. Ajarya also encourages its team of teachers to enrol for higher learning programs in Yoga!
Scientific Temper:
Our Evaluation methods not only include internal assessments, group discussions and theory examinations but also assess the Guna (Tamas, Rajas and Sattva) Scores of each of our trainees. We measure the Guna Scores at the beginning and at the end of each course to assess the students' holistic growth.
