Yoga TTC in Goa Vs Rishikesh and Important Centres

-

 

 


Goa has always been popular as a beach destination which has been flocked by tourists from far and wide, particularly during the winters when the sun and the sand can be enjoyed to the maximum. Over the last few decades, it has also begun to be known as a wellness destination with primacy of Ashtanga yoga. It shall be noted that Ashtanga yoga was popularized by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century and is the most adopted version of Hath Yoga in the Southern Indian states, notably Karnataka and Goa. Most of the centres give teacher training in this form of yoga to the people who want to learn yoga for healthy living.

Spatial Spread of Yoga Centres

It is interesting to note the geographical spread of these centres in Goa. Most of these are concentrated along the beach side locations in North Goa. However, some centres are also located along the beach side on South Goa. Not many centres are present in the interiors of the city. Therefore, the location pattern clearly shows that the intention is to cater to the needs of the tourists who come on beach for leisurely holidays.

Another reason for their location close to beachside is the presence of already existing holiday resorts and retreats that have also started offering yoga wellness plans to their guests. Many yoga trainers in Goa offer use the facilities of resorts and retreats to offer their classes. This has changed the profile of services of these retreats. Therefore, on map, you will find many centres of yoga learning on beach side locations.

 

Rishikesh Vs Goa Yoga TTC

Most of the yoga teacher training courses taught in Goa schools are certified by the well-recognized body Yoga Alliance. So is the case with the Rishikesh yoga teacher training courses.

The key difference lies in the characteristics of the city. While Rishikesh is long revered as a divine land of rishis and sages, Goa is essentially a materialism-dominant city which essentially caters to holiday makers. The weather of Rishikesh is pleasantly cool during summers and cold during winters, whereas that of Goa is equable throughout the year due to proximity to salt-water ocean. The impact of humidity in Goa is more than in Rishikesh. Further, the focus is more on Ashtanga Yoga in Goa whereas in Rishikesh, the courses are more inclined towards classic Hatha yoga which is the parent of Ashtanga style.

These airs, or vayus, are identified as Prana, Apana, Samana, Udana and Vyana. Each of these has its own role to play. While the Prana Vayu provides vitality and liveliness to life, Apana Vayu anchors the breath, Samana Vayu helps in maintaining the balance, Udana Vayu signifies the ascent of breath and Vyana vayu is responsible for integrating the breath.
