We felt that there is a need to create this "Yoga Teacher Training in India Reviews" blog post as all yoga teacher training centers, and ashrams are not same. Before flying oceans and reaching to yoga centers or ashrams in India it is wise to search about other's reviews and experiences online about that particular Yoga Center / Ashram.
Have you already visited India and received yoga training in India? We invite participants to post comments and share their experiences to help others. You are allowed to include hyper link of your blog or website in comments but it will be subject to approval.

INDIA The Mother Of Spirituality
India, was well trained in spiritual philosophy and science ages before the Romans, or Alexander the Great ever dreamed of world empire, and when nought but savages roamed over the vast prairies and through deep forests of what is now proud America. This science was familiar to the great Teachers of India long before Egypt came to be regarded as the word's repository of occult knowledge. In fact Egypt took her first lessons in such knowledge from the great Mahatmas of India.
Dear old India! The world owes her a debt of gratitude it is slow to repay. All the round world has sat at her feet and learned the ancient wisdom. But not all the world knows the soul of India. The West does not yet understand her. Many look upon India as the land of mystery or of poverty and ignorance. The look only at the drifting tide of human life breaking upon her unhappy shores in vast lacs of incarnations. They know not the real India. They know not her great Teachers; for they are her soul. From them streams of life have gone forth to heal the nations, during immemorial ages. They have always been the world's light bearers. The sunrise of India's spiritual glory is only just now breaking upon the world. That glory is not a thing of the past ages. It consists not int he wisdom of her ancient Vedas, nor in the life and words of her adorable Buddha. IT IS EMBODIED IN HER LIVING MASTERS. In them this wisdom of the ages takes living form and is more vital today than ever. In them the word of truth has become flesh and dwells among men.

"what literature we, here in Europe, may draw the corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more universal, in fact more truly human, again I should point to India."
"If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow — in some parts a very paradise on earth — I should point to India. If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed the choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solution of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant-I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thought of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life-again I should point to India." --Max Muller
Pope Pius IX says:—"India alone has remained true to the heart of the spiritual motives." (From Sir Woodroffe's book—"Is India Civilized?"

Right Sequence or Order - Asana Pranayama Meditation
What should be done first Asana, Pranayama or Meditation? What is the right sequence?
After asanas, pranayama should be practised to purify the nadis. For this purpose nadi shodhana (nadi purification) pranayama is best. Then mudras should be performed to channelize the energy and create specific attitudes of mind, and bandhas to force the energy upward. In hatha yoga the sequence is - Asanas first, then Pranayama, Mudras and Bandhas. Lastly one should sit quietly in a meditative pose.
So the right order or sequence is Asana --> Pranayama --> Meditation.
