“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is not beneficial in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” – Lao Tzu
We are delighted to announce the beginning of a new
Yoga Teacher Training Course
Starting in 2025
Are you ready…

Atman – The International Federation of Yoga and Meditation, offers you the chance to join its unique yoga teacher training program. The coordinating teacher of the course is Advaitananda Mihai Stoian.
The Content of the Course
The Yoga Teacher Training Course includes the first five years of the Intensive Yoga Course as being taught in the member schools of the Atman Federation. Additionally, many esoteric notions about the teaching activity will be given.
Before every training course, the aspirants are required to study certain lessons from the curriculum of the Integral Esoteric Yoga Course, lessons that will be announced in the previous meeting.

The Structure of the Course
This course lasts 2 years, and includes 4 modules of 8 days each (starting Saturday and ending next Saturday) plus a module dedicated to the final exam.
This format of the modules helps also in the process of forming a state of spiritual fraternity and togetherness. These qualities are essential for a spiritual teacher and are awakened and amplified by taking part in prolonged spiritual activities.
Some of the topics studied in the training
