1 Distance Learning Courses for Around the World
At present, TYS is offering four distance learning courses (correspondence courses), written and designed by Georg Feuerstein. See the panel on the left.
Check out our beautifully designed Manual for teaching the philosophy/history segment of 200- to 500-hour Yoga teacher training programs, which makes it easy for teachers to teach this aspect of Yoga. Many teachers find teaching the philosophy section difficult. This manual takes the sting out of this task for both teachers and students. This manual sets a new standard!
Offered for the first time in 2007, our manual has thus far been acquired by Yoga teachers in seven countries: Canada, the United States, Australia, Great Britain (Scotland), Sweden, Norway, and Holland. This manual is only available as a hard copy through the mail.
For Mahamandaleshvara Swami Veda Bharati's endorsement of our philosophy/history training manual, please click here.
Rusty Wells has called the manual "an essential tool." For his full endorsement, please click here.
Katherine Labonte of Dharma Spirit in Fort McMurray, Alberta, wrote to us enthusiastically: "The manual is grand. My students really love it—and I plan to use a lot of the quotes in my classes. Great work!"
The above comments sum up the sentiments expressed by other teachers who are using the manual in their trainings.

The present serious threat to the biosphere and the future of humanity is discussed in our new book Green Yoga. This work also spells out what we all must do now in order to avoid the worst consequences of environmental devastation. The response has been overwhelming (thank you!).
“I pray that everyone will read this book and start to serve Mother Earth, so that she may survive. I hope that at least Yoga practitioners, who have faith in the evolution of humankind, make it their mission to bring about the necessary transformation.”—B. K. S. IYENGAR

Owing to the present environmental emergency, we have decided to make our latest book entitled Green Dharma available as a PDF document free of charge. It was written especially (but not exclusively) for Buddhist Yoga practitioners. Please also see our free-of-charge PDF downloads of Greening Your Life (a chapter excerpted from Green Dharma, which is full of practical suggestions) and of Georg Feuerstein's book Connecting the Dots, which is trying to make sense out of modern life.
»» Free of charge means that you don't pay for the download and you cannot resell it or use it as a means of generating income, and the copyright remains the authors'. ««
Namaste
