When you find yourself saying “I would like to learn to become a Yoga Teacher” , you will also need to ask yourself, how do I begin the journey? What should be carefully considered? Good decisions are based upon the 5 W’s. Who, Where, What, When, Why? The Journey begins with understanding:Who are the Teachers; where were they educated in Yoga Training; what is the Name of the School or Schools you are interested in – where are they located? What will you learn on the Modules and how many hours will you receive instruction, when are the classes?After all these have been researched, the last question to reflect upon is why do you want to become a Yoga Teacher?Having spent time seeking out answers to the questions – researching schools, The Pratimoskha Enlighten Yoga Centre came to me via a personal recommendation, from someone who had already attended the school for a series of classes.Once I had been to visit and met the team, quite simply the Pratimoskha Enlighten Yoga Centre ticked all the boxes.Great Teachers with a thorough authentic knowledge of Yoga having been brought up in the culture, their knowledge level of Yoga continues to be exceptional. The location of the school is 16 mins away from my home, so my mind could not convince me not to go due to time and traffic. The course time of 500 hours and the modules to be taught were clearly defined. The timing of the classes on a weekend also suited my routine.Having all of the information’s made; my last question a simple one to answer – why do you want to become a Yoga Teacher remained? Without hesitation I can answer - I want to be able to help others find the joy of yoga that I found and continue to find. Yoga is a way of life - not just Asana’s or poses.Having worked my way through the modules this course has enabled me to learn the right things the right way. My 5 questions which led me to the right School, to the right Authentic learning have provided the right tools now to become a good teacher.To all new aspirants I would say – look no further – enroll today 😊

Pratimoksha Yoga Centre is a hidden gem. Everyone are accommodating when I first stepped in so I finally decided to enroll in yoga classes after an overdue plan. The teachers are pushing us students to the limit with proper care and take into consideration our health & physical condition. Every session is a refreshing and swell escape from my daily routine which also inspires me to look into my personal wellness onwards.

I cannot recommend Pratimoksha enough to those who are seeking to understand the traditional yoga and have a great practice with loving and kind teachers. After each session I felt rejuvenated, energised and filled with peace. Ms. Lalitha and her team are professional in teaching yet their personal attention to each client makes one feel that you are in a loving family.

The yoga one experiences at Pratimoksha is holistic, with a combination of physical asanas along with spiritual well-being. The trainer’s professional and sincere effort at developing and enhancing each individual’s yoga capabilities gives you the additional confidence that they are passionate about yoga.I would highly recommend this center for both beginners and advanced yoga practitioners alike.

Joining for Asanas and Beyond has been a great decision. Truly remarkable experience. All the trainers and other staffs are really supportive and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic Course and one of the best investment I ever made.I just completed the 500 hrs. of Teacher Certification Training. The reason I took up this course was to learn yoga from basics and to understand what yoga is all about – after having completed it, I must say that it was one of the best personal investment to make.The teachers at Pratimoaskha are quite dedicated and are qualified with master’s degree in yoga. – They know their subject really well. It’s a big plus for learners.The founder has over 20 years of teaching experience and comes from student-teacher lineage – This gave us core & deep learning about yoga and its practices.Additionally the founder is a qualified & practicing Osteopath – this gave us a great practical insights about muscles & anatomy as a whole and how to deal with day-to-day body and mind issues.Apart from the course and teachers, the best thing I liked about Pratimoaskha is their values & what they stand for. It’s a pretty simple place and no Jazz or hype about anything.It’s totally a non-commercial place and in return gives you back much more than what is paid for. They focus on empowering us rather than making us depend on them.Over all a great experience and a great place to learn from.

Extremely dedicated and committed team of yoga professionals.Personal attention and care is given to each one of us so that the learning is with perfection. Also, a very pleasent atmosphere is created thus sessions becomes really enjoyable. Connects with the students well.Looks forward for each and every upcoming session.

I love this marketing I’m proud in the center Pratimoksha 💜🙏🌺💝 It was nice journey and everyone was supportive in the center. Thankful for all and for all the knowledge given and for each one in the center.

It has made me feel very good. My body used to hurt and I started having breathing issues. I would not be able to sleep well at night. But all this has changed. I feel healthy and fresh physically. Through yoga I have more self-awareness and so I can manage my thoughts and desires. The benefits from this program have been countless. I feel I am on the right path and there is no looking back.

The entire training course was very well organized to make it easy and understandable. There was excellent study material to support the course along with the lectures and practicals and outstanding, well-designed, self-produced documentation by Lalitaji. The entire course was handled in a very friendly and yet a professional manner. Clearly stated challenges and expectations for trainees made it very effective and efficient. Thank You again Pratimoksha for the continued support and encouragement on the entire journey. Thank You to all my teachers, Ms. Neelam, Ms. Tia, Ms. Shikha and heartfelt gratitude for Lalitaji for everything. All the best and much love always.

At first, I thougt this will be like any yoga/gym experience but they proved me wrong.With the Asanas And Beyond course I got to know about the various postures and it pushed my body and mind to a new level .The teachers Lalitha,Neelam,Tiya and Shikha are super friendly with a very positive attitude.I came in with a bit of respiratory issues which got resolved with the 6month course.When doing yoga they taught us what not to do so that we will not injure ourselves when doing postures.I will certainly recommend this to all my friends.

Thanks so much for training yoga session . I really enjoyed it, I feel much better prepared to deal with uncomfortable issues. Thank you for your great presentation.

Miss Lalitha is a true yogi who lays the foundation for learning yoga from breathing to strengthening muscles to asanas and beyond and all done through giving you personal attention.

An immensely refreshing genre of Yoga learning in comparison to the zero to headstand approach that is easily available these days. At Pratimoksha, students benefit from a slow and steady approach which in my personal and humble opinion is exactly the way Yoga should be learned. The attention to detail and holistic teaching is priceless and a strong anchor for students keen on diving deep into frill-free, value-rich practice.

At Pratimoksha, you get not just very proficient teachers, but perhaps more importantly, teachers who genuinely care about you. Despite the classes happening in a (very happy) team environment, they manage to provide personal attention to ensure that your postures are perfected and you dont hurt yourself. I also admire the focus on a yogic lifestyle that goes beyond physical fitness and flexibility.

Highly recommended yoga center to those who want expert, professional and passionate teachers combined with a peaceful studio. Their approach to focused teaching has really helped me to learn yoga in the right progression for my body and mind. Even before after my first course ends, I am already looking forward to the next! Book a trial class and experience it for yourself. 😊

Enlighten Yoga Centre is one of a kind in our city not just for its yoga and teaching, but for the sincerity and warmth of its teachers. Its often said that yoga is a way of life; you dont just DO yoga poses, it goes far beyond that. It involves strengthening yourself physically and mentally. Thats why its so different from other exercise programmes. Enlighten Yoga Centre ably guides you on a journey to discover yourself and your full potential. I am a student of the centre and a proud and happy one at that.

My fantastic gurus at Enlighten Yoga Center have helped me change myself for the better in ways that I never thought I could. It is a place where along with the feeling of physical well being, one comes away emotionally and mentally at peace with oneself. I am truly grateful to Lalitha and Sarah for their continuous support and guidance.

Experienced the best professional service.

Highly recommend signing up for one of their courses! I have been attending their sessions for 4 months to date and the course has had a profoundly positive impact. Classes do not just feature yoga postures but are also accompanied by thoughtfully curated lectures to enhance understanding of the body, mind and spirit. If you are looking for rejuvenation and inspiration then this yoga studio is definitely the right choice.

Life changing experience especially for those having a stiff body, back pain, or lazy lifestyle. Classes are in small groups and teachers are professional, skilled, and passionate. The setting is very peaceful and relaxing.I am over satisfied with these sessions, and grateful to Mrs. Lalitha, Nilam, and Tia for the great work.

This centre is fantastic! I came here thinking that yoga was mainly about improving ones flexibility, which is what I was interested in, but soon learnt that the yoga practiced here is so much more. It is truly holistic and the teachers are committed to your development both physically and mentally. It is very evident in the way they conduct classes and offer explanations that they are extremely knowledgeable and are able to offer programs and plans that are tailor-made for you. More than just improvements in flexibility, my favorite aspect of the classes was the time spent on learning different breathing techniques. I have already seen the positive effects in other aspects of my daily life. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone interested in learning about all aspects of yoga.

Pratimoksha has been a truly awakening factor in my journey towards wellbeing. The staff are highly skilled, well trained and genuinely exude cheerfulness, care and concern for students.The realization that yoga is not just about flexibility, but about mental, physical and spiritual unity and well being has been an eye opener. The facilities are amazing and even more so are the staff. Classes and courses are tailor made to individuals needs and at every stage there is high priority for ensuring the safest, injury free and professional training.The teaching style and course content is unique and has contributed a lot to my overall holistic development and confidence.Keep doing the great work that you do Team Pratimoksha!!

Looking for slow and pure yoga I cane across pratimoksha yoga. Now 6 months later after joining the course I have been able to do a lot more asanas than I could do before. Totally a refreshing and feel good experience. Thank you pratimoksha.

I joined Pratimoksha in March 2019. Now in January 2020 I am able to do the asanas with ease. The slow and steady progress towards headstand has helped me do the Asanas with ease. I would like to thank all the teachers who have helped me reach this level.Thank you team Pratimoksha..

Joining Pratimoksh yoga has been on of the biggest highlights for me in 2019. I was always relating to yoga with different yoga postures or exercise. However Pratimoksh really has guided me to understand yoga and start my journey to enlightenment. The teachers here fully understand what your body requires for physical and mental well-being. They curate a pathway for you to get from level 0 to being confident to practice yoga independently and based on interest and skill transition to a yoga teacher. Teachers are connected, give you enough time and attention and most importantly know and understand yoga and body types. This place is not a normal yoga studio where you come and workout 1 hour and leave, it’s a learning center to understand get connected to yourself. Along with Asana sessions there are talking sessions that provides you insights about yoga and path to well being. If you looking to start yoga or already know and want to advance your learning I will highly recommend people to join Pratimoksh and experience yoga.Thanks Pratimoksh team 🙏

Joining Yoga at Enlighten Yoga Center was a fruitful decision. Not only I felt better physically, but it also helped me to build positive emotions through invaluable knowledge which I gained from the lectures conducted during yoga sessions. The emotional benefit of yoga was a pleasant surprise for me which I would have never got without help of Lalitha Jee.

I hv joined Pratimoksha 3 months back. . My journey with the team so far has been wonderful and I am sure with those experienced, competentand dedicated teachers it will be further more enriching. If anyone is looking for regular yoga class it is not so, but if you genuinely want to learn yoga as it should be learnt i will surely recommend PRATIMOKSHA. and also those beautiful people who are so efficiently taking care of this center

Really nice. Gurus explain postures and benefits. They support in stretching and holding longer. Give enough personal attention and clarify all doubts.

EYC and the Gurus have helped me, appreciate my life ,through integration of body ,mind with discipline. I feel energetic and more positive after being with them.

A life changing experience. Would recommend to go through the program to understand it better and have it incorporated as a way of life

Great classes with very professional and personal approach! Teacher are always adjusting postures, you have their support all the time.Been practicing for 3 months at Pratimoksha, never had any regret and always very excited to join the class!On a personal experience, I have been on medication for hypothyroidism since a couple of years.Yoga has a very positive effect on my Thyroid.In fact after only 2 months of practice, my TSH level has improved, without having to adjust or modify my medical treatment.I really believe in it, and I hope to stick to yoga for as many years as I can.Finally, Im very thankful to all the team and specially to my teacher Sarah for all the commitments towards the students.

Completed my 500h Yoga TTC from Pratimoksha EYC..Amazing school with beautiful and friendly Teachers. Yogacharya Ms.Lalitha Viswanath is true Yogi with all the right life principles and high Yoga skills that she is ready to share with each and every student!! I highly recommend this school if you are interested in learning the best that Yoga teacher training offer.They made this course unforgettable.Love them all...

Wonderful place , and highly qualified and professional trainers . We had a very postitive yoga experience there and the instructors were great taking care of a special lumbar disc case.I strongly recommend Enlighten Yoga Center

The most honest and authentic approach on daily Yoga Practices . Along with dedication and discipline the teachers are superr supportive and kindhearted ❤️Did my 500Hr Registered Yoga TTC with them and words are not enough to express my gratitude to divine for bringing Pratimoksha and Ms.Lalitha Vishwanathan as my Yoga Master in this course. Be ready to take a dive into deep ocean of knowledge and wisdom where your heart would only want to go deeper n deeper 🙏

Qualified dedicated teachers. I have been with them for almost 10years and really blessed to have them as my yoga teachers.

I had decided to go for yoga a few months back in order to become more flexible, and after a few sessions with Mrs. Lalita and Ms. Neelam I had soon come to realize that yoga is not only for our physical flexibility but also for our mental strength and concentration.I used to have a great deal of difficulty when it came to exams especially during maths. I would understand the question but in a rush of nervousness during the exam I wouldn’t be able to focus and make many silly mistakes that would completely change the answer.But as of recently when I write my exams I have this peace of mind and a constant voice that says I should just calm down and focus on that question. I got this ability to focus during the different poses where you have to focus on a certain point in order to balance yourself and maintain the posture.I highly recommend enlighten yoga centre as the gurus there have not only pushed me but they have also helped me realize that with a clear mind I can accomplish anything I put my mind to.

Enlighten Yoga Centre... Has taught me the value of being alive with a healthy body and more importantly..a healthy mind. Its been such a wonderful journey of self realisation with such knowledgeable teachers who have opened my eyes that Yoga is just not about asanas... But its working towards higher evolution of self... Thanking the team from the bottom of my heart to awakening me to a reality so beautiful..Life is indeed a blessing of a healthy body and a happy mind...all the Very best to such a team out here....

I am 15 years old and I started yoga when my my dad convinced to do yoga lessons because it can help me to concentrate in studies and help me in sports. The yoga lessons help me a lot in many thingsThe Best Yoga lesson ever!!They helped me a lot for not to get injured in sports. When I started I coundnt do most of the postures and Ms lalitha pushed me further to get the postures right and many more.

There are just a handful people around us who can be true gurus . Transforming us to be a better person in terms of how we understand ourselves and the people around us. The team at Pratimoksha is a group of people dedicated towards a cause of geninuely helping people who have health related issues and rest assured after every class you will walk out from the center feeling happy.

Everything I am looking for and was hoping to find in a yoga center, I found it in Pratimoksha Enlighten Yoga center. First, The teachers/instructors are very passionate on their craft and they are very genuine on the responsibility of not only teaching the asanas or yoga positions but to in still in the minds of the students to make Yoga as a way of life because of its hollistic benefits. The way and method of how the teachers introduce and make their students understand yoga as way of life is so sincere and uncommercialized. Based on my first hand experience, they do not only focus on your physical aspect but also expand your mind/persepectives about life in general during lectures. Thus, this is why I find it every effective,because they make the learners understand the core of yoga.The instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced and very organized on the flow of teaching. They are very attentive to the progress of the students and they take time to make necessary adjustements on the classes based on the specific capabilities of each student performing the asanas.I really am very happy with the high quality of training I am getting from Enlighten Yoga center. It is worth every dime. The effort, passion and sincerity the instructors are giving the students cannot be compared to merely monetary sense, because they go beyond to ensure that their students comes out a different and better individual after the time spent with them. I, myself is an example and could attest to this change. I could not highlight enough the improvements in my life, because I did not only learn the yoga positions - I understood life. :)The learnings one can get from Enlighten Yoga center is very profound and in depth. I love very much how the teachers and the entire center take effort on the details of what they teach to their students.They have a very conducive and good studio as well. It is well maintained, space is very welcoming. I have always loved the therapeutic and nice scent as I enter the center. The background relaxing music. The peace that the center brings. To be in their center is like coming home - to your authentic self.Fyi, with all these said- I am even planning to take the teacher course and any other classes available after my asanas and beyond course. I am so genuinely satisfied with everything about Pratimoksha Enlighten Yoga center. So if you are looking for the total package, Pratimoksha Enlighten Yoga center is the best choice! :)

A Healthy way of learning yoga , peaceful calm and full of energy ... Taken care of body well,

I highly recommend Enlighten Yoga Center to anyone looking to learn yoga with full understanding of how to get in and out of each pose while gaining confidence to do it unaided and develop your own practice.The teachers here are very knowledgeable and put you at ease. Lalitha, my yoga guru, is amazing. She brings her sense of humor and playfulness to the yoga mat. Her hands on assists, cues, and the flow to her class never leave me feeling confused. She understands what her students are capable of depending on their body type and does a wonderful job describing exactly what needs to be done to achieve the postures.The classes are small in number and both the teachers Lalitha and Neelam guide you to attain the correct posture.Beyond physical fitness-Enlighten Yoga Center also guides you on how a deeper yoga practice can enhance your overall sense of well-being.

Invigorating,relaxing and a good stretch along with personalized attention & guidance. This has been my personal experience since I joined the centre 3 months ago.

It’s an amazing experience . Would like to Thank Lalitha and team in making Yoga enjoyable and fruitful. I will recommend the place and team to everyone . Jiji Francis

Awesome beginning - yoga is more than asanasFrom A mature age yoga student living in Adelaide, Australia.My First week at Pratimoksha Enlighten Yoga Centre in DubaiYoga to me until now meant‘Cat Cow, Inverted dog, Warrior pose and of course Surya namaskar” which is what most group yoga classes I attended in Australia and India had taught me with me unable to do it of course!!My focus of looking for relief from severe sciatic pain for the past 4 years and develop flexibility as I age finally made me travel to Dubai to Enlighten Yoga centre (Pratimoksha) run by a very passionate and qualified yogi who is also a qualified manual osteopathic practitioner.First week of yoga here really enlightened me as to what basic yoga means and how it should be taught and practised especially to novices like me.It was explained to me that breathing, joints in the body, ligaments, tendons and muscles need to be stretched and ready before you attempt any asanas to get the correct yogic postures.This is what the first few lessons were about, unlike starting straight away with different yogic postures.The classes made me aware of the muscles in my body that I never knew existed and also the ones I needed to focus and stretch to enable me to do the poses the correct way later on when ready!!The Principal yoga coach Lalitha along with the two yoga teachers Neelam and Sarah are an extremely passionate lot whose approach is to always give more than a 100% to their students. Their knowledge of muscle and bone functions combined with yoga I am sure will benefit many like me who are chronic pain sufferers.My first week at Pratimoksha Dubai has been really awesome. It has made me aware that I have taken my body for granted!!The first week’s practice developed awareness of the muscle functions, especially the shortcomings I have and how to rectify them via breathing, stretches and yoga combined.Really excited about the upcoming weeks.Will surely post my Second week update soon. Until then HAPPY YOGAing🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️Lakshmi

Enlighten yoga centre shaped me into a better human being with a stronger personality. Despite my loose joint issue, and extremely weak arm strength I am now able to do a full headstand after just a few months of guidance and support from my amazing teacher Neelam Raturi! Thank you sooooooo much!!!

I enrolled my daughter for the teen yoga programme when I happened to see the ad on Facebook. And was sceptical if she would like the classes. But to my surprise she not only enjoyed the sessions, but attended all the ten sessions as per the schedule and used to be ready on time and would say lets go to the class. To me thats a beginning for my daughters journey to Yoga and optimist that she will continue and make yoga part of her routine. I personally thank and am grateful to Neelam, Lalitha and Sarah for their valuable guidance.

I feel, joining Enlighten yoga center is one of the best thing that happened in my Iife. I’ve learned here so much, not only the asanas or techniques of executing the proper asanas but the variety of information that I acquired, the benefits of the asanas, health and diet related tips has proven quite helpful to me. I genuinely enjoyed every session that I attended so far and it sounded very useful and valuable to me in improving myself and to understand the effect of each asana on a human body and mind.I highly recommend this place to all who’re looking for a good yoga center...Pratimoksha Enlighten yoga center is worth experiencing!!Sincere thanks to Ms. Lalitha and Neelam for their attention and diligent efforts that they put in to enhance our postures as well as making us better positive individuals. They are indeed amazing and inspiring …Thank you so much...!!!

I am a regular gym person. I decided to go for Yoga under Lalithas guidance based on the great feedback from friends and family. Now I am a regular at yoga. The attention that Lalitha and Neelam gives to us individually is fantastic and ensures that we get the maximum out of the session. Combination of strengthening exercises, aasanas and theory classes has been a great experience.Thank you Lalitha and Neelam.If you are looking to have a good understanding of yoga and the yogic way of life combined with postures and aasanas, I will definitely recommend this center

Excellent yoga programs for children. I recommend it.

I have been suffering from severe back pain for past 10 years. Frequent visits to the doctors just left me with pain killers and physiotheraphy. It was at this time that my wife introduced me to Guru Lalitha of Pratimoksha. My last 1 year with Pratimoksha has been a therapeutic journey. Guru Lalitha has alleviated the problem with structured, customised and paced approaches of Yoga. Since then, there has been very few recurrences of the back pain. We, as a couple are happy to be associated with Pratimoksha.

Pratimoksha has been a beautiful journey of self evolution .... there’s a feeling of contentment and bliss ... I can’t thank my teachers Lalitha and Sarah enough for bringing out the best in me ... the best way to put it across is that “ each time I see a change within, tears trickle down my eyes thanking the Almighty n my teachers” Swapnil who’s another instructor is also very patient and supportive ... In short , the entire team of Pratimoksha not only welcomes you with a smile 😊but a BIG HUG 🤗 wishing them all the very best 👍

I had severe back pain had undergone 3 to 4 months of physiotherap without any change. Everyday morning getting out of bed and standing straight was a big issue till I got to meet Lalita from Pratimoksh. After just 2 session with her I could see the difference and now I rarely have those shooting pains. I would recommend all those who have artired testing with doctors and other methods to just go for a trial session to see the change for yourself. I guarantee u you will go back Happy and contented.

It’s a wonderful life changing experience & would definitely recommend.

It’s been few years now m learning yoga with Lalitha n SarahThis yoga training has helped me in many ways.Both the gurus are an expert n EYC IS one of its kind yoga center in Dubai.It’s been 7 years now I follow Lalitha’s training in Yoga I could do all the asanas taught by her few years ago .

My yoga journey began with Lalitha of team Pratimoksha and I am truly blessed to have her as my Yoga guru. Pratimoksha has meticulously researched unique yoga courses and sessions which ensure that the attendees become self reliant in various yogic practices.This of course is the outcome of the vast knowledge, deep understanding and experience of their yoga experts Lalitha and Sarah.They have helped me transform into a healthier and happier individual; body, mind and soul. My amazing experience with them is beyond description. Their warmth, guidance and support has deeply touched me.May your sadhna (Pratimoksha) touch and enlighten the lives of millions.Gratitude and Best wishes.🙏

Classes were interesting and I enjoyed the experience.

Changing my life

Excellent! Course in limited number. Excellent teacher: explaining all the details of the movements and lingering on each one if necessary to avoid getting hurt and to understand and apply the positions. Flexibility and possibility to catch up in case of absence. The entire team is attentive, welcoming and ready to make the experience unique. I highly recommend yoga classes in this center.
