Free MYCAA sponsored yoga teacher trainings for Military Spouses
As a military spouse life can be unpredictable, demanding, and downright stressful. You are probably used to being your own support system as you’ve had to relocate, leave friends and family, and stay strong when your partner is deployed. Yoga and meditation make such an incredible difference in your daily life- helping to relax the nervous system, calm the mind, feel stable and happy despite all the things you cannot control. Yoga helps us connect to a safe space in the heart that will always be there.
What is MyCAA and how do I use it for a Yoga Teacher Training?
MYCAA (My Career Advancement Account) scholarships help military spouses reach their career goals and develop meaningful skills. Konalani Yoga’s teacher training programs are an ideal way to use this benefit and build a life-changing yoga and meditation practice. Our trainings welcome students at all levels of experience—whether you’re just beginning or ready to deepen your path. ShambhavAnanda Yoga was one of the first teacher-training programs in the United States, and our curriculum has been refined for over 30 years to give you a clear, functional, and grounded understanding of the body, breath, movement patterns, and the heart of yogic practice.
How the MYCAA Process Works
Fill out the simple application below.
We will create an ETP form for you to submit to your MYCAA advisor.
Your advisor will either approve the form or request small adjustments. We’re happy to revise it and send it back as needed.
Once the ETP is approved, you’re officially enrolled in the training.
After you complete the program, MYCAA pays Konalani directly—making the training completely free for you.
The whole process is straightforward and supportive, and MYCAA can be used for our in-person trainings in Hawai‘i, our online programs, or a combination of both.

MyCAA Teacher Training Testimonials
“When my husband was deployed and then away for months of training, Konalani Yoga Ashram’s yoga teacher training became my anchor. With the assistance of the MyCAA military spouse scholarship, I could join this wonderful program with peace of mind. The instructors checked in with me, adjusted schedules, created alternate assignment options when I needed flexibility, and created such a nurturing space that I never once felt alone—even while solo-parenting through those long stretches. By the end, I not only understood yoga on a much deeper level, but I walked away a calmer, more confident teacher, carrying the steady support with me every time I step onto the mat.”
