QUESTIONNAIRE FOR INCOMING STUDENT

Participating in the Yogic Studies or Yoga Training at Bihar Yoga Bharati is a unique experience of the dynamic balance between head (intellect), heart (emotions) and hands (creative action) which takes one’s personal learning of yoga beyond the boundaries of the classroom, to experience living yoga in daily life. The yogic lifestyle takes place in an ashram environment, within the tradition of a gurukul, ‘living as the family of the guru’, which is as essential as the academic pursuits. This makes Bihar Yoga Bharati unique among the educational institutes in the world today.

The yogic lifestyle in the ashram is characterized by simplicity in accommodation, food, dress, communication, interactions and facilities. The basis of this atmosphere is seva (selfless service), sadhana (using every situation as a practice for growth), swadhyaya (self-observation) and satsang (connection with positivity and inspiration). To maintain a positive atmosphere that leads to greater self-awareness, the ashram routine is based on inner and outer disciplines. Immersion in the disciplines, rhythm and routine of the ashram without the distractions of everyday life allows one to acquire deeper self-understanding, knowledge, health, wellbeing and peace. Although the benefits of adhering to the routine are immeasurable, the lack of comfort and external distractions can be challenging. Therefore, the following questionnaire will help you to assess whether training at Bihar Yoga Bharati is suitable for you.
