Born into a yogi family in South India (the Yoganaath lineage), Dileep was initiated into yoga and the secret doctrine of Tantra from an early age and was trained in all the classic forms of Indian yoga systems. He later received training at Shivananda Ashram and Vivekananda Yoga University. As he grew older, he travelled extensively to find answers to his spiritual quest, which took him to the great masters of The Himalayas from the yogic lineages of Aghori, Naga, and Kapalika, all of which helped deepen his understanding on the mystic path of yoga and Kundalini.

Dileep started teaching and sharing yoga in 1998. He follows the integrated approach of yoga by combining different paths of the traditional Indian yogic methods. His classes are gentle, designed to meet individual needs, and adopt yoga therapy techniques to heal and prevent different ailments. His traditional classes are filled with yoga philosophy, and he ensures easy comprehension with a dose of humour. He believes and teaches the authentic Indian yoga system to “find harmony with one’s surroundings”.

Apart from teaching, Dileep has written numerous articles based on yoga and has been published in many health magazines and yoga journals. A believer of good karma, he also founded a charitable organisation in India. To raise funds for this charity, he conducts immersions on Kundalini and Tantra and organises outdoor yoga, Bhajan/Kirtan and spiritual discourses. Dileep also gives lectures on Hinduism and yoga philosophy at The University of Hong Kong.

Will I be able to teach right after I graduate from this programme?
Yes. All materials taught in this course prepare students with all the foundational knowledge and skills needed to become yoga teachers. Some students take it to deepen their own personal practice, kick-start a life transformational experience, while others do it to immediately start a teaching career. Others who do not want to proceed into teaching immediately would immerse into further training. More than half the students from our graduate programmes begin teaching friends, family, moving into part-time teaching in studios and then full-time teaching.

Will I be able to teach at PURE Yoga after graduating from this programme?
PURE Yoga is always open to applications and supports graduates from our programmes with many teachers at PURE Yoga being previous graduates. While we encourage graduates to apply with us, there is never a guarantee of job placement due to availability of openings or space within our studios. However, any graduates that apply with us are kept in our database and are advised if there are openings available.

If I miss one day, will I be able to make up for it?
Students undergoing this programme must be fully committed and understand that full attendance is required. They must also be willing to forego most personal or professional commitments for the duration of the programme – only with 100% attendance and completion of the course will students receive a certificate, and no make-up of work will be given. Should there be any problems with this, students must speak with the faculty prior to the course and only under very special circumstances will it be considered.

Will I receive a certificate after the programme?
Students will receive a Certificate of Completion from PURE Yoga for this teacher training programme upon successful completion, full attendance, and following the code of conduct.
