Vishwa Yoga Journeys

Nature does not reveal all her secrets at once.
We imagine we are initiated in her mysteries:
We are, as yet, but hanging around her outer courts.

Pondichery...

is it French?

is it Indian?

it is definitely Unique!

"Pondy" was once occupied by the French. This left an influence that mixed with Indian culture to create a unique charm that you cannot find anywhere else in India.

However, the greatest influence in Pondichery is the world famous Sri Aurobindo Ashram, which is threaded throughout the town. It is also an educational center and, therefore, related to the Air Element; as well as a very, very, very special place about 20 minutes outside of Pondy. . .

Auroville is not just an international village.

At its center is the soul of a people with a spiritual vision.

And just as any wise individual does not lay her soul bare

to just any passers by,

Auroville does not reveal her heart to the casual tourist.

In fact, even our vishwa yogis will need to be educated on what Auroville is about before being allowed to enter the Matrimandir.

Auroville

All of the Elements come together at this International Village

with a community dedicated to sustainable living and yogic principles.

Time - Vision - Space

Vision is the key quality of the Space Element. A vision for the future is the best way to work with Space, as it also relates to time. There is nothing we can do about the past, but having an insightful vision for the the future can make the most of our past experiences. Auroville has investigated the downfalls of society throughout the planet, especially in relation to unsustainable development, and has since reforested a once completely desolate and uninhabitable area of India, turning it into a beautiful oasis. Now, with inhabitants from over 50 countries, it is referred to as a experiment in creating human unity.

Auroville is where the Vishwa Yoga Journey of India ends.

However, you may want to consider traveling onward for our Acu Thai (Ayurvedic Thai Yoga Massage Training in Bali, (and receive a 50% discount for having taken this India training) or our Gap Year For All Ages program that takes you to many other exciting places in the world for continued learning, service and adventure!

Actually, as mentioned on the previous page, this year we will start the training / trek in Auroville and end in Goa.
