Jivamukti International/Teacher Trainings
Every Year Jivamukti Yoga offers the "Teacher Training Experience" in two forms: "Immersions" (no certification) and the "Jivamukti Yoga 300 Hour One-Month Residential Certification Course."

What is the Jivamukti Yoga  Teacher Training?
         This rigorous, month-long (300 Plus-hour) residential teacher training certification program for intermediate and advanced students, is considered by many to be the Gold Standard: the most comprehensive yoga teacher training available in the world today.    This training attracts international students from around the world and produces powerful, committed, informed and confident yoga teachers able to incorporate asanas, chanting, music, meditation, activism and scriptural study into a challenging practice leading to enlightenment.
         The Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training will provide you with a blueprint for incorporating the physical, psychological, spiritual and mystical aspects of yoga into modern life, without losing sight of the universal goal of the practice: liberation. Because of Jivamukti Yoga’s focus on a non-dualistic view of life (the interconnectedness of all), the practice awakens in the practitioner not only the need to protect the environment and all the animals and plants that share the planet with us, but provides the practitioner with skills to confidently achieve those goals for oneself as well as teach others how to live in harmony with the planet.

This training includes:
  • Asana: You will be immersed in a daily practice as well as practical sessions which focus on standing poses, forward bends, twists, backbends, inversions and balances, including in depth exploration of vinyasa, sequencing and alignment
  • How to give hands on assists to students while they are practicing asanas
  • Sanskrit language immersion—you will learn to recite, read and write the Sanskrit alphabet as well as an exploration into the major yogic texts: The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali,The Bhagavad Gita and The Hatha Yoga Pradipika
  • Meditation:You will learn to meditate and practice meditation twice a day as well as learn how to teach meditation to others
  • How to practice and teach healing, purifying, and detoxifying hatha yoga kriyas
  • The importance of a vegan diet in regards to human health, sustaining the eco-system, reducing violence in the world and as a means to enlightenment
  • Physical and energetic anatomy of the human body
  • Philosophy, ethics and activism: how to live a more effective and positive life
  • Practice teaching: at the end of this training you will have the skill to begin teaching yoga classes right away
The Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training focuses not only on the physical postures, but also on how the postures evolved. We explore yoga’s ancient sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions, as well as the psychotherapeutic benefits that develop with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when energy flows throughout the heart, body, and mind.
