Once again, Tamara and Rahul have created an amazing program. The manual was in depth, easy to follow and incredibly well written. Upon completing the training, I was able to teach a class with my husband as the student. He’s practiced classical Hatha off and on for awhile but is by no means a Yogi so; I’m on board with anything that will give him the benefit of relaxation and mindfulness. This was it! The beauty of Mudras is that you can get incredible benefit from a very short amount of time. So we focused on some that could be done inconspicuously at work etc. Armed with the knowledge from Tamara, we were able to create a beautiful practice that’s short enough to do anytime, anywhere!

Absolutely loved this course and didn't realize the healing potentials of mudras as an addition to my regular asana and pranayama practice. Great balance of lecture material and "hands on" (hehe) practice. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this 10-hr course, which adds another rather unique modality to yoga teachers who enjoy learning and sharing. I now have the knowledge and confidence to sequence several types of Mudrā classes which I know my students will love! Tamara also teaches about Tattvas, The 5 Pranas, and Ayurveda & Mudrā Yoga, which make for amazing Mudrās Meditation classes. Rahul, the co-teacher at Yoga Ghar who is from Delhi, India, teaches a session on Sanskrit, allowing students to learn and practise proper pronunciation, which is so important when teaching to others. As in other courses that I have taken through Skyhawk Yoga, the opportunity to practice while learning is provided, which really helps with developing confidence to teach the material in your own yoga classes.
