Yoga Teaching as Sacred Sevā
At Anantadrishti Yoga School, yoga is transmitted as a sacred responsibility, not merely a profession. Teaching yoga is understood as Sevā (selfless service) guided by awareness and compassion.
सेवा परमो धर्मः
Sevā paramo dharmaḥ
Selfless service is the highest duty.
योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्
Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam
Yoga is excellence in action.
"Through disciplined practice and ethical living, teaching becomes an act of devotion offered for the welfare of all. This 200-hour program prepares you not just to instruct asanas, but to embody and transmit the complete yogic tradition with integrity and grace."
