1 Month Training: Yoga-Naturopathy
Namaskar.
The 2024 annual one-month yoga-naturopathy training promises to be exactly the experience that participating margiis and acaryas are seeking, enabling
- spiritual deepening
- health improvement
- development of life-changing medical knowledge
I happily give this promise because without exception it has been exactly that for hundreds of graduates over the last 15 years.The proof is that our global yoga-naturopathy movement grows non-stop – with more centers, programs, students & patients than ever before. Since last training, for example, we expanded our activities in
- Brazil
- Malaysia
- England
Ananda Nagar, India has perhaps the strongest spiritual vibration of anywhere in the world, so our center there, surrounded by ancient Tantra Piithas where we also meditate, is perfect for the training.Just like all the trainees find the experience among the best of their lives, so I personally also love and enjoy this training more than anything else I do!While
- the practical & theoretical training material continues to improve
It somehow also becomes even
- more clear
- more practical
- less complicated
- easier to understand
- easier to help others with their physical & mental health (as we’ve done with thousands of people)
And
- our global network, our support for each other & social media – also go on beautifully developing.
These factors of practicality and mutual-cooperation are two of the keys to our growth.Of course, the training incorporates
- naturopathic & devotional workshops by Senior Dadas, Didis & Doctors
- naturopathic & educational camps in poor villages
So, in summary let me say this training will enable you to
- really improve your own health
- run short yoga detox retreats – and with more experience the capacity to run longer programs
- give simple help to others with their health – and, if you have the interest and commitment, then with more experience — deal with specific chronic cases, and give deeper help
Indeed, during the training itself you will become more healthy!We expect as usual to become full.To ensure your place, let us know you are interested soon as you can.Contact either me (WhatsApp +63 9154049321 or ) or Nirainjan, assistant trainer and Ananda Nagar center manager (WhatsApp +91 7992370201)With enthusiasm and affection, yours,

Some Clarifications
On the successful completion of this 1 month theoretical and practical training, you will receive a ‘Diploma in Basic Natural Therapeutics’ certificate.
Trainees need no previous medical experience, and need not make any commitment whether they will use the knowledge gained through the training to eventually begin a permanent program, or make short-term programs, or simply help themselves, their friends and family. Nevertheless, you may want to know —
If you will eventually want to open a permanent center, it is a 4-stage process:
- This Basic Level Training, which enables a graduate to progressively gain the capacity to offer the next 3 programs:
- Weekend Yoga Detox Retreats;
- Numerous longer Yoga Detox Retreats, e.g. 5 to 12-day programs;
- Permanent Yoga Naturopathy Center
There are other long-term options possible besides aiming at opening a permanent center. For example, the aim may be:
- A Yoga Naturopathy coaching program
- An online Yoga Lifestyle program
- An outpatient care center offering any combination of Yoga Naturopathy elements
- Join our regular global online detox programs as a coach
If you aim at any of the above programs, in the beginning if only one or two persons from your place complete this First Level Training, it is quite adequate to gradually build toward creating the team you need – with the help we are happy to give.
Directly in the place you are working, we provide separate training to medical in-charges in diagnosis/prescription. Plus on-going training according to need in cooking, therapy and administration. Advanced training is usually given on a non-profit basis.
Through this program, besides improving your own health on all levels and learning how to help others – your payment enables us to subsidize the cost of medical & education camps for the poor and treatment of local patients who otherwise would not be able to afford treatment. See last page for charges. Thank you in advance!
Training will be limited to 16 persons. So, if you are interested, it is better to let us know as soon as possible.

The nearest international airport to reach us is Kolkata – 5 hours by train to Bokaro.
Delhi airport is further — overnight train to Bokaro, OR take connecting flight Delhi to Ranchi (nearest domestic airport)
If you want to change dollars to rupees, best to get them in Kolkata or Delhi – where rates are better.
