About the event

KALĀ YOGA TEACHER TRAINING MISSION STATEMENT

The Kalā Yoga Teacher Training seeks to illuminate the yogic teachings, elevate happiness, and develop curiosity and authenticity in one’s practice and teaching. We welcome applicants interested in becoming impactful yoga instructors into our Teacher Path. In our Elevate Path we also welcome those without teaching aspirations who wish achieve independence in their asana, breathwork and meditation practice, explore anatomy and alignment, understand the subtle body, and gain an appreciation for how we can apply ancient yogic teachings into our modern lives to attain greater levels of happiness.

Together we will study the Buddhist and classical Indian philosophical traditions of yoga and how we can translate this wisdom into modern life in order to develop a deeper and more compassionate understanding of ourselves, of others, and of our communities. Grounded in a holistic approach to the body, we will explore modern anatomy and how that guides us in using accessible and individualized alignment and movement practices. Learner centered and interactive, our program is designed to provide ample opportunities for trainees to develop their authentic voice and style in order to translate the yogic teachings into transformative experiences - be it in a yoga studio, at home, in the workplace, or in the broader community.
