No signal for most of the month, which was frustrating for about two days and then exactly what the training needed.
Set further into the forest than the trust's riverside properties, Phool Chatti Forest Ashram Annexe hosts one 200-hour hatha yoga teacher training cohort at a time, with limited walk-in stays between cycles. The seclusion is deliberate — no roadside noise, patchy signal, and a schedule built entirely around the training cohort's rhythm.
Traditional hatha yoga teacher training in genuine forest isolation, on the premise that certification earned in a distracted environment produces distracted teachers.
Serious yoga teacher trainees, or experienced practitioners wanting a training-paced schedule during the gaps between cohorts.
Forest Training Room
A simple shared-occupancy room used by teacher-training cohorts and walk-in guests alike.
