True yogic education 

Whether your intention is to become a yoga teacher, deepen your own practice, or integrate practical yogic tools and techniques into your daily or professional life this program is designed to inspire an understanding and experience of the Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya.

You will learn the methodology and gain the skills needed to teach yoga from a foundation of real knowledge. It is also an incredible opportunity for self-development and personal transformation. The focus of this training program is experiential and transformative. You will gain an extraordinary amount of knowledge which will radically enhance your understanding and experience of yoga.

However true yoga education (vidya) is ‘lighting a lamp, not filling a bucket’ (A.G. Mohan), and you’ll be guided in establishing and deepening your own yogic practice; creating sustainable and beneficial changes to your patterns of thinking and behaviour, and understanding and transforming mental and emotional states to cultivate real and lasting inner peace.

It is a rare and potentially life-changing opportunity to learn from and have direct access to internationally renowned master teachers who will guide and support your path forward to experience the peace and steadiness of a clear, steady mind and open heart. This is after-all the aim of yoga, and the foundation needed for a happy life and to become a grounded, inspiring teacher able to guide, support and uplift others.

The special 2019 Svastha Yoga Teacher Training will be held in Perth, Western Australia and is a rare opportunity to study the authentic yoga of Krishnamacharya with A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan along with their son Dr. Ganesh Mohan and daughter Nitya Mohan in a single, comprehensive training program with all four teachers.

The combined knowledge of the Mohan family is unsurpassed in contemporary yoga. This training program combines their collective knowledge, areas of expertise and insights to provide a comprehensive program where the direct teachings of Krishnamacharya will be conveyed in an accessible, engaging and illuminating way. Krishnamacharya is the most influential Yoga master and Vedic scholar of the last century. A.G. Mohan, a prime disciple of late Shri T. Krishnamacharya, was his direct student for 18 years. He was acknowledged by Krishnamacharya as his successor, and is a direct link to the authentic yoga traditions.

Mohan kept meticulous handwritten notes and recordings of Krishnamacharya’s voluminous teachings during their 18 years together. The knowledge transmitted directly and the large archive of notes informs the Mohans’ continuing Yoga Teacher Training programs, Yogic Mindfulness Programs, and their many books and lectures. Much of this material is still unpublished and will be included in the ‘Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya’ training program in Perth April-May 2019.

​




“The combined knowledge of the Mohan family is unsurpassed in contemporary yoga.”


The Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya and Yogic Mindfulness training takes place over 3 weeks, where you study directly with the Mohans assisted by experienced Svastha Yoga teachers.

During the 3 week program you will be provided with theoretical and practical content drawn from Krishnamacharya’s teachings, the Yoga Sutras, the fields of Hatha Yoga, Yogic Mindfulness and Ayurveda. Time will also be spent reviewing the material, reading, formulating your questions, in study groups and in your own practice.


You’ll receive direct guidance in the appropriate practice and teaching methodology of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantra japa and kriya yoga and learn to adapt and personalise the practices as needed both for yourself and for your potential students. You'll also receive private mentoring during the training with Indra/A.G. Mohan which is enormously beneficial.

In the Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya training program there is a focus on cultivating the right bhavana (intent and focus) in every aspect of yoga practice, in your role as a teacher and even more broadly in every aspect of life. Without this, yoga is not effective and may even cause injury or harm. This acquisition of real knowledge, consciously cultivating a steady mind, and then speaking and acting from an inner steadiness with self-awareness are the essential traits required to effectively teach yoga and conduct our relationships harmoniously.
The ‘Yogic Mindfulness’ component of the training focuses specifically on how to cultivate this attitude or mindfulness in your own practice and how to share and teach Yogic Mindfulness in a variety of contexts and settings.
​

Graduates of the Training will have gained the knowledge, skill-set and confidence to teach the Mohans’ Yogic Mindfulness 10 hours Program, and The Hatha Yoga of Krishnamacharya 10 hours Program. These are specially designed programs suitable to teach in yogic and also corporate, educational, health and other settings.

About the Mohans

The greatest influence on yoga in modern times was undoubtedly the legendary 20th century yogi, Sri T. Krishnamacharya – a master of yoga, scholar of all Indian philosophies and a healer of repute. Krishnamacharya is widely considered the 'father' of modern yoga, having taught the world's most influential teachers and shaping yoga as we know it today.

Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda was started by A. G. Mohan and Indra Mohan, in the tradition of the legendary yogi Krishnamacharya. Svastha combines the best of traditional yoga with modern science, refined over decades of practical teaching and extensive studies. You will receive a solid foundation in yoga teaching from one of the most authoritative and highly regarded sources in the world.


A.G. Mohan is internationally respected as one of the most senior yoga masters alive and a direct link to the authentic yoga traditions of the yoga of Krishnamacharya who he studied with intensively for 18 years.

Indra Mohan is one of the few people ever awarded a yoga teaching certificate from Krishnamacharya, and is a skillful and insightful yoga therapist with decades experience. Indra is known for astute intelligence, and capacity to guide students and clients to clarity, self-understanding and peace.

Dr. Ganesh Mohan was trained in yoga from early childhood and is a medical doctor, trained in both modern western medicine and Ayurveda. He is at the forefront of the emerging field of Yoga Therapy, and for a decade has conducted yoga teacher and yoga therapy trainings in India and around the world.

Nitya Mohan is a also a life long yoga practitioner and an exponent of chanting, holds a music degree and performs internationally. She has run Svastha Yoga Teacher Training programs in Singapore for over a decade.

Collectively, the Mohans have written 6 books which are regularly used as reference material in teacher trainings. They regularly write for an Indian national newspaper and contribute to magazines and journals. They teach and lecture around the world.
