Hawaii 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Intuitive & Informed: A Curriculum for Real Practice
From functional movement and core-centered anatomy, to mantra, meditation, and breathwork, you’ll study a living curriculum that unites science and spiritual tradition—designed to help you embody what you teach and teach from who you are.
-
In this training, you’ll learn foundational, science-backed breathing techniques designed to regulate the nervous system, restore physiological balance, and support deep meditation. Modern research is finally catching up to what yogis have taught for thousands of years: that a balanced breath is the most transformative breath. Just as Patanjali described pranayama as the stilling of the movement of inhalation and exhalation, we’ll explore how subtle, rhythmic breath practices can shift your internal chemistry, support emotional steadiness, and prepare you for deeper spiritual practice.
-
In this training, you’ll be initiated into a living meditation lineage—one that has been carefully preserved and personally transmitted from master to student for over a century. You’ll receive a personal mantra, not as a technique to try, but as a tool of transformation—alive with the energy of the tradition itself.
You’ll be taught by resident acharyas, individuals who have dedicated their lives to this practice and to guiding others along the path. Their teaching is grounded in direct experience, daily discipline, and a commitment to awakening—not just knowledge.
Alongside mantra, you’ll explore heart-centered and breath-based meditations rooted in direct experience rather than theory. These are not repackaged internet teachings—they are practices that carry the power of those who have walked this path before you. Whether you are seeking healing, steadiness, or spiritual awakening, this approach offers something rare: depth, clarity, and a direct connection to the sacred.
-
At a living yoga ashram, you won’t just study teachings—you’ll live them. Through consistent practice, personal guidance, and immersion in a spiritually charged environment, you’ll develop the tools to truly go inside. This inner commitment is what awakens Shakti—the spiritual energy that gives your teaching power beyond technique.
When you teach from this space, your words carry weight. Your presence speaks louder than instruction. You become a vessel for transformation—not just for yourself, but for those you serve. This training helps you shift from simply teaching techniques to becoming a guide who transmits something real: clarity, depth, and the energy of growth itself.
-
This training redefines asana through fascia-based, functional movement. You’ll learn how the body naturally moves in spirals, pulses, and integrated patterns—not rigid lines. By honoring these innate rhythms, you’ll protect your joints, prevent injury, and build strength that truly supports your life—not just your poses. This is intelligent movement that lasts.
-
You’ll explore how to activate deep intrinsic core muscles and organize the body through muscle teams—not individual parts. This whole-body integration creates support from the inside out, allowing postures to emerge from connection rather than force. Whether you’re in motion or stillness, this approach trains the body to move with stability, ease, and grace.
-
Rigid rules and ideal shapes can lead to injury, compensation, or frustration—disconnecting students from their own embodied wisdom. In this training, you’ll learn to guide postures through breath, intuitive cueing, and sustainable setup. This isn’t metaphorical—it’s biological. When we impose form from the outside, alignment often breaks down. But when we slow down, feel, and move from within, alignment arises naturally.
We’ll show you why this works—both through scientific studies and your own direct experience. It’s an aha moment that every practitioner deserves: alignment that feels right because it comes from the inside out.
Asana That Moves You: Functional, Embodied, Aware
Explore six families of movement designed to reconnect you with your body’s natural intelligence—building strength, mobility, and awareness from the inside out.

Stretch smarter, not harder: avoid common hamstring injuries through whole-body integration.
Slow and steady: draw your focus into the background of awareness through back line activation.
Build from the base: use the arches of your hands to support spacious, sustainable arm movement.

Flow, don’t force: coordinate scapular rhythm and core connection to free the neck, wrists, and upper back.
SUPPPLE SHOULDERS
