    Due to the intensive nature of the TTC, you are required to be available for the entire duration of your training. Punctuality is very important. On-site hours meet and surpass the Yoga Darshanam minimum standards and categories of training. In addition, we encourage you to lead a yogic lifestyle throughout your intensive course of study. It is not advisable to schedule other activities or take other part-time courses during the TTC. We have set aside this whole time to be with you and expect and want you to be 100% with us. Absence is discouraged. Yoga Darshanam only allows a maximum of 3-4 missed classes per month. After that, you will not be allowed to enter the premises.
