Testimonials
This Integrated program doesn't just train teachers — it shapes human beings and deepens our understanding of 'Quality Living'. Having worked in Yoga Therapy for some years, I believed I understood the ageing body. I left this course enlightened — and quietly transformed. The course offers a deeper understanding of the ageing body, an appreciation of Yoga Philosophy as a living therapeutic tool, not just physically, but psychologically and spiritually. Geriatric yoga in this form is at its most refined and most purposeful — weaving Ayurvedic wisdom into the practical truth of how seniors live, eat, and heal. Beyond knowledge, this course gave me reverence. Every elder we connect with carries a lifetime within them. Our role is not to fix — it is to honour, support, and gently illuminate. Deepest gratitude to @hellowmyyoga, Ms. Shivani, Dr. Vineeta Ketkar, Dr. N. Ganesh Rao, and Dr. Pankaj Chansarkar. 🙏
~Naina Daryanani, IndiaThe program has made me aware of my mind and body. It has been an enlightening journey and I have realized how little knowledge I had. At the same time it has aroused curiosity and a thirst to know more. I am confident that now I can work better with the aging population and cater to their needs more. This program has made me aware of my dietary and lifestyle changes that I need to make in my life for a better journey with aging. As Rishi Patanjali said, ''heyam dukkha anagatam".
~Maitreyee Sharma, GermanyIt was great learning and I especially enjoyed the live sessions. The mentors are the best in their field, and I wish we could intern with them! It would be lovely if a few contact classes could also be added. At the beginning of the course and at the end, That would give the necessary push and sustained interest. Thanks to the Hellomyyoga team and Shivaniji for always being available to help us in any manner whatsoever, and holding our hands through the course! Best wishes and may the organisation grow from strength to strength! Look forward to a long yogic association!
