The Heart Behind ālaya wellbeing

It all began with Himalaya Yoga Valley many years ago, a beginning that grew from Lalit as a small boy listening to his grandmother imparting Himalayan traditions and wisdom to his young mind. The seeds were sown then. He understood from her that Yoga was life itself: breath as prayer, discipline held with tenderness. Lalit has passed this heartbeat onto ālaya wellbeing.

From Gurukulam study to ashram years with Swami Veda Bharti, Yogacharya Lalit path unfolded through lineage and blessing, later refined in Mysore.

What began as a quiet flame now lives as a global sanctuary, carrying that same steady light forward.

Great yoga teacher training! The anatomy section was super helpful, and the online anatomy teacher explained everything so clearly. The example classes, along with the adjustment and alignment guidance, were really useful. I highly recommend this training

Excellent course. I have just finished the course & would highly recommend it if you’ve been considering the training. The course is great to fit in around your other commitments due to it being online but having the hybrid option is an added bonus...

Just do it , it’s amazing 🧘. I would absolutely recommend this course. I started with doubtful voices in my head but all of this knowledge and practice has quashed those doubts .I love the straight forward way in which the course is delivered. For me the flexibility of doing online classes at a time that suits as well as the live classes was a vital part of my success...

Don't wait, enrol today!!
Enrolling with Himalaya Yoga Valley was one of the best decisions I ever made! The course is so well thought-out and tutors are knowledgeable, encouraging and inspirational. The curriculum covers so much but is broken down into manageable lessons, which makes the online course so accessible to a busy, working mum, like myself...
