Practising and teaching yoga requires a high degree of self-discipline, purity, and clarity. Participants should also be self-motivated and open to new experiences. Basic knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy is helpful but not essential. To maximise the personal benefits of the training, it is necessary for participants to adhere to a vegetarian diet throughout the training, avoiding meat, fish, eggs, black tea, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
