If you are more into postures than spiritual growth, then you'd rather consider other places, like the Bihar Yoga Bharati institute which teaches asanas and more accessible to foreigners.

The Bihar School of Yoga is the 1st yoga school opening Sannyasin training for females, which is still very uncommon in India.

The Bihar School of Yoga has an extensive Yoga research libary.
