Study yoga the way it was meant to be passed down, in the living lineage of Krishnamacharya. Our trainings weave āsana, breath, philosophy, and the subtle body into one trauma-informed approach to teaching real people, not just leading poses.
The first half of our 200-hour program, for practitioners who want to go deep before committing to full certification. You study what yoga truly is, its ethics and philosophy, the foundations of prāṇa and the breath, and trauma-informed practice, then continue to certification when you are ready.
A complete Yoga Alliance certification in the Krishnamacharya lineage, drawing on Hatha, Ashtanga, and Viniyoga. You move from yoga philosophy and ethics into prāṇa and the subtle body, the pañcamaya model, anatomy, prāṇāyāma and meditation, and trauma-informed teaching, until you can guide real people with confidence.
Therapeutic Applications of Yoga, for certified teachers ready to work with specific needs and one-on-one. Rooted in cikitsā, yoga as therapy, it explores adapting practice for different bodies and stages of life, the pañcamaya model in context, and how breath, attention, and meditation help process stress and held emotion.
A complete foundation, woven together rather than taught in pieces.
What yoga actually is beyond the postures, through the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, the Bhagavad Gītā, and the yamas and niyamas that ground a teacher's character.
The life force and the vāyus, how energy moves through the body, and how to work with the breath to support health, steadiness, and healing.
The five interconnected layers of a person, drawn from the Taittirīya Upaniṣad, and why addressing them together is what makes a practice truly therapeutic.
Functional anatomy and movement, and how breath and rest actually change the body and calm the mind.
Breathwork and bhāvana, the art of focused attention, used to cool, energize, balance, and quiet a busy mind.
How to hold space safely, cue with care and consent, and adapt for real students with real bodies and real histories.
Your training is led by founder Kevala, who studied the Viniyoga tradition and yoga therapy under the personal mentorship of Chase Bossart, a student of TKV Desikachar, and trained in Ashtanga in the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Graduates leave able to teach trauma-informed, function-first yoga with confidence.
Train where therapeutic yoga is taught as a craft. Our 200-hour teacher training and 100-hour practitioner training are rooted in the Krishnamacharya lineage, drawing on Hatha, Ashtanga (Pattabhi Jois), and Viniyoga (TKV Desikachar). Rather than memorizing a fixed sequence, you learn to see and serve the whole person: body, breath, mind, emotion, and spirit.
The curriculum moves through the philosophy and ethics of yoga, the study of prāṇa and the subtle body, the pañcamaya (five-layer) model, functional anatomy, prāṇāyāma and meditation, and trauma-informed teaching. Our 50-hour Therapeutic Applications of Yoga course goes further into cikitsā, yoga as therapy, for certified teachers who want to support individual needs and different stages of life.
