200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Overview
More than a Yoga Certification
A path to transformation
Our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training doesn’t just train teachers—it transforms practitioners. Through regenerative movement, breath, and meditation, you’ll rebuild your foundation from the inside out, discovering a practice that is intelligent, sustainable, and deeply alive.
-
Most yoga wears the body down—pushing joints to their limits, isolating muscles, and chasing external shapes. Our approach renews the body through fascia-informed, functional movement that strengthens your deep core and reconnects you to your natural mobility. You’ll move better, feel better, and sustain your practice for life.
-
Yoga begins when you turn your attention inward. You’ll learn time-tested pranayama and meditation practices from a living lineage, giving you tools to calm your nervous system, expand awareness, and transform stress into steady presence. Whether you’re teaching or practicing, this training makes meditation tangible and accessible.
-
This isn’t just a tropical retreat—it’s an immersive environment for inner transformation. At our oceanfront ashram, you’ll live your practice each day through meditation, community, mentorship, and service. Nourishing food, nature, and spiritual depth create the space for true connection and renewal.
Regenerative Yoga:
Movement that Heals
Most yoga breaks you down. Our approach builds you up—restoring strength, fluidity, and confidence through fascia-informed movement that supports your body for life, surrounded by the warmth and beauty of yoga in Hawaiʻi.
-
Shape-based yoga often isolates muscles, stresses joints, and disconnects you from your core. Our method rewires your body’s foundation by awakening deep core support, strengthening the fascia network, and cultivating whole-body integration. The result? Natural strength, easeful mobility, and a body that feels regenerated—not worn down.
-
Too many practitioners suffer from yoga-induced injuries—like hip impingements, shoulder strain, and hamstring tears. We teach you to move with functional integrity, using patterns that protect joints, preserve tissues, and prevent pain. This isn’t just safer—it’s smarter movement that carries into every part of life.
-
Asana is more than physical—it’s an embodied meditation. Konalani’s approach to movement helps you not just slow down, but feel deeply and move from feeling, so you can trust that your practice is moving you toward healing. Our method is science-based, yet infused with awareness practices passed down through the yogic tradition—bringing together the best of both worlds to create a practice that is intelligent, intuitive, and alive.
Ready to feel what true regeneration feels to your body and mind?
Functional Physiology:
Anatomy that Moves
Go beyond anatomy with fascia-informed, holistic movement. This training teaches natural, functional movement patterns so that your time on the mat improves everything—from lifting groceries to running ultras, and everything in between.
-
Learn the natural design of your body—from joint structures to muscle chains—to build a practice that works with your anatomy, not against it. This knowledge helps you move with integrity, prevent injury, and create a foundation that lasts beyond the mat.
-
Most injuries in yoga come from misaligned effort and repetitive strain. Our approach trains you to recognize common pitfalls and adapt poses to protect your joints, tendons, and fascia. You’ll gain tools to practice—and teach—intelligently, with longevity in mind.
-
Forget muscle isolation. We teach you to build connected strength by engaging deep core support and functional muscle patterns. The result is strength that supports movement in every direction—on the mat, at work, and in daily life.
Want to understand how alignment and anatomy inspires your teaching?
Revitalizing Pranayama:
Vitality Through Balance
Breath is the bridge between the subtle and the physical aspects of our practice. Informed by the science of pulmonology and neuroscience and the yogic tradition of pranayama, you’ll discover that the real power of breath isn’t in producing some big, forceful inhale, but in balancing your breath to restore vitality.
-
Your breath is your most immediate and powerful tool for healing, energy, and focus—but few ever learn to use it well. In this training, you’ll explore time-tested breath practices that help calm anxiety, balance energy, and build emotional resilience. By learning to breathe with awareness, you’ll change how you feel—on the mat and in your life.
-
Our approach to pranayama is shaped by both scientific insight and the living yogic tradition. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how breath influences your nervous system, your mental state, and your physical health. Each practice is designed to be accessible, practical, and directly supportive of meditation and vitality.
-
Breath is more than a physical function—it’s a gateway to meditation. You’ll learn the natural breath mantra and practices passed down through the ShambhavAnanda Yoga lineage, using the breath to turn your attention inward. Through these practices, you’ll develop concentration, clarity, and a steadier, more resilient mind.
Ready to breathe new energy into your life and practice?
Vibrant Meditation
Awareness that Transforms
Meditation isn’t just a technique—it’s a way of being. Our practice connects you to a lineage spanning over a century and four realized teachers, passing down techniques, philosophy, and the Shakti to make meditation a transformational part of your everyday life.
-
Most meditation apps and pop techniques offer tools to calm the mind temporarily, but ShambhavAnanda Meditationis different. It’s a living tradition, passed directly from teacher to student over a 100 years and across 4 generations of realized practitioners. With practices that help you awaken your inner awareness, not just quiet your thoughts. You’ll experience methods that are rooted in lineage, yet profoundly relevant for modern life.
-
You’ll learn a diverse set of tools to work with the mind and emotions: mantra, visualization, breath awareness, heart-centered focus, and more. These practices help you steady your attention, reduce reactivity, and open to a deeper sense of connection—within yourself and with others.
-
In the ShambhavAnanda tradition, meditation isn’t separate from life—it’s how we transform challenges into spiritual growth. This training teaches you to cultivate inner awareness in every activity, using meditation to move from surviving to thriving, wherever life takes you.
Your path to clarity and purpose begins here.

Meet Your Yoga Teachers
Meet Acharya Satyam
Satyam Ehinger is the resident Acharya (Teacher) at Konalani Yoga Ashram and the lead author of Konalani’s 200-hour, 300-hour, and Meditation Level 1 & 2 Teacher Training Manuals. He has been living and serving in the ashram for 20 years and has guided over 85 Yoga Alliance-certified trainings.
After graduating with honors in philosophy from DePaul University, Satyam turned to yoga to help manage severe scoliosis, which he had struggled with since childhood. The transformation was immediate—both physically and spiritually—and set him on a lifelong path. After graduation, he moved into Shoshoni Yoga Retreat, Konalani’s sister ashram in Colorado, where he immersed himself in deep practice and selfless service. In 2008, he moved to Hawai‘i to help with Konalani and soon became the manager and resident teacher. In 2010, he was honored with the title of Acharya by his teacher, Sri Shambhavananda.
Today, Satyam co-manages the ashram with his wife Abhaya and serves as director of the ShambhavAnanda Yoga Philosophy Program. He pours his heart into every aspect of ashram life—from curriculum development to mango harvests—and feels deeply blessed to serve, swim, and raise a family on sacred Hawaiian land.
Meet Acharya Abhaya
Abhaya Ehinger is a resident Acharya (Teacher) at Konalani Yoga Ashram and lead faculty in the 200-hour, 300-hour, and Meditation Teacher Trainings. She has lived and served in the ashram for over 15 years and has guided more than 65 Yoga Alliance-certified trainings. A gifted teacher and curriculum developer, Abhaya has spent the past decade transforming Konalani’s yoga program—integrating natural, sustainable movement with practices that regulate the nervous system and expand our movement potential.
Abhaya discovered meditation in college, where she quickly became the student leader of the meditation program at Georgetown University. The spark was immediate and life-changing, leading her away from a high-powered career path and toward a life of deep practice. She graduated magna cum laude with a degree in political science and moved into the Shoshoni Yoga Retreat shortly after. Within a year, she was already leading trainings—an unprecedented testament to her clarity and depth. In 2020, she was honored with the title of Acharya.
Today, Abhaya co-manages Konalani with her husband Satyam, bringing insight, lightness, and care to every part of the ashram. She loves distance ocean swimming, creative movement, and every moment with their daughter, Narayani.

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Rates & Accommodations
Our training is intentionally priced to be one of the most economical options in Hawai‘i. Most 200-hour programs in the islands charge similar rates for tuition alone, with housing and meals added on top. At Konalani, your tuition includes 16 nights of accommodations, three nourishing meals a day, and full access to an authentic ashram environment. In a state where retreat costs are often two to three times higher than the mainland, we’ve worked hard to keep our rates fair, transparent, and accessible for those who feel called to train in a lineage-based setting.
-
Most 200-hour trainings in Hawai‘i charge similar rates for tuition alone—then add housing, food, and retreat-center fees on top. At Konalani, your tuition already includes 16 nights of lodging, three nourishing meals a day, and full access to an authentic ashram environment. This keeps your training simple, transparent, and all-inclusive.
-
Hawai‘i is one of the most expensive places in the U.S. to run a retreat, with food, utilities, and land costs far higher than the mainland. Even so, we’ve worked hard to keep our rates fair and accessible for dedicated students. Our intention is simple: to make high-quality, lineage-based training available to more people—not just those who can afford luxury retreat pricing.
-
Your tuition covers all training sessions, 16 nights of accommodations, three vegetarian meals a day, and full participation in the rhythm of ashram life. You’ll receive daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, philosophy, practice teaching, and personalized guidance from experienced acharyas—all supported by a community grounded in authentic yogic tradition.
Private / Shared Tent Options
-
Our private canvas cabin tents are spacious, simple, and comfortable—perfect for those who want quiet and personal space while still enjoying the beauty of Hawaiʻi. Each tent is a 10×10 canvas structure with about 7 feet of headroom at the peak and roughly 100 square feet of interior space. They are fully waterproof, well-ventilated, and include a covered canvas lanai that lets air move even during rain. Inside you’ll find a twin bed on a raised frame with full bedding, a vinyl floor, and a small dresser for personal items. Tents are located just 60–100 feet from the main house across a soft lawn, making bathroom and shower access easy at any hour. Hawaiʻi has no dangerous wildlife, and tents are thoroughly cleaned before each guest; keeping your tent zipped ensures a comfortable and safe experience.
-
Our shared cabin tents are the most economical option and offer a bright, airy, and grounded environment for two participants. These tents are larger—about 140 square feet—with two twin beds, each with its own nightstand/dresser. They are fully waterproof with excellent airflow and tall ceilings that create a spacious feel. As with private tents, they are located close to the main house for quick access to bathrooms and showers. Sharing a tent creates a special sense of connection—many students become close friends through this simple, retreat-style living. This option works best for participants who feel comfortable sharing a space and enjoy companionship throughout the training.
-
Choose a private tent if you recharge in solitude, want a quiet personal space between sessions, or know you prefer having your own environment. Choose a shared tent if you’re easygoing, enjoy connection, and feel comfortable living closely with another participant. Shared tents are not recommended for anyone who snores or is a light sleeper, so that both roommates can rest well. Tenting in Hawaiʻi is a beautiful way to experience the land—simple, peaceful, and close to nature, while still being just steps from the main facilities in a safe, gated environment.

Sacred art from our lineage adds warmth and inspiration. These rooms are located on the same level as the shared bathrooms, making access easy and convenient.
-
You’ll share this space with one fellow yogi—just two people per room. Many students find that sharing a room adds a special layer of connection to the training. You’re not only learning side by side, you’re sharing a sacred, supportive space that often leads to friendships that last long after the program ends. Choose this option if you enjoy community, feel comfortable sharing, and appreciate the chance to connect with someone walking the same path.
-
A shared room is a great fit if you’re easygoing, enjoy meeting new people, and don’t mind close quarters. It’s not recommended for anyone who snores, or for very light sleepers, so everyone can get the rest they need. If you’re used to dorm-style environments, retreats, or simply enjoy the camaraderie that comes from shared living, this option is a wonderful choice.

-

There is plenty of closet space for your belongings, and the rooms are located on the same level as the shared bathrooms for easy access. Sacred art from the ashram adds a warm and uplifting touch to the space.
-
A private room is ideal if you know you recharge best with personal space, appreciate quiet evenings, or simply want a place to retreat between sessions. It offers the comfort of closing the door, taking personal downtime when you need it, and moving through the training at your own pace. If you’re used to having your own room at home, this option will feel like a natural match.
-
We strongly recommend the private room for anyone who snores, those who are light sleepers, or those who feel more grounded with extra space around them. Having a private room ensures everyone in the training gets the rest they need—both you and your peers. It’s also the best choice for students who value quiet personal time or want an environment that supports deeper reflection and steady self-care.
