Are you ready to feel truly inspired? 

To peel back the layers and rediscover the joy of being you?

This unique Yoga Alliance approved training allows you to share invaluable, ancient technologies for transformation and happiness. In addition to becoming a yoga teacher, you will become a meditation guide, and a teacher of love, breath, and relaxation. There is no other yoga teacher training like this on

Earth that offers more than five trainings in one. Learn how easily you can share the benefits of physical yoga (Hatha and Vinyasa), the yoga of meditation and awareness (Kundalini), and transformational healing including (Reiki and Alchemy).

This Yoga Teacher Training has taken place over twelve times in Toronto, Canada Tuscany, Italy and La Quinta, California  and is now being offered again live on zoom from the comfort of your home. 

Whether you are looking to fill your own cup and dive deeper into your practice or feel the call to teach, this nourishing and multifaceted training will bring clarity, help you awaken your innate love and wisdom and empower you to share the invaluable gift of yoga.

On your average day do you often feel unfulfilled, uncertain, or overwhelmed? 

As if you are chasing something outside of yourself? 

Are you sometimes struggling to connect with your inner truth?

Is there a soul gift within you that you are ready to make manifest?

You are not alone, life can be challenging. Especially over the past two years, so many shifts and changes have occured for so many on a personal and collective level. When you say YES to yourself and dedicate the time to care for yourself, you begin to see that life has a plan for you that is more magnificent and fulfilling than any plan we can make for ourselves. 

Each obstacle along your path has been a beautiful gift—a call for you to love yourself even more. Gift yourself 200 hours of embodying love and compassion while filling your toolbox with sacred yogic practices that allow you to relax into wholeness and experience your true self-mastery. 

The intention of the Awaken Love Yoga Teacher Training is not to master advanced asanas, but to master yourself, know your truth, and align with love. All are welcome, even if you feel you might not be flexible enough to teach yoga, or that you only want to deepen your personal practice, this training is for you and will open many doors. As Patanjali said in the Yoga Sutras—we practice yoga to “control the fluctuations of the mind.” The ultimate goal of yoga is the flexibility of the mind, so you can remain open to all the possibilities life has to offer. When the mind is flexible the body will follow. This creates the inner space for you to relax into life, and reunite with your breath. 

 

As Matt Kahn says, “Love is the highest vibration, and your breath is your tour guide. Whatever arises, love THAT.”

What graduates are saying about the Awaken Love Yoga Teacher Training:

“Life-changing.”

“When I first started the Awaken Love yoga teacher training, I did not expect that I would be teaching yoga. I did it to take a deeper dive into these sacred practices. By the end of the yoga teacher training program, I had already developed a group of clients and had designed two workshops ready to be shared with the public. I learned I CAN teach yoga.”


“I learned so much in 200 hours, we practiced physical yoga, spiritual yoga, and meditations that will last me my lifetime. I paid for the course, but the results are priceless.”


“A spiritual awakening.”


“I now know and love myself, as never before. If you want to get to know yourself on a deeper level and have communion with the Divine, the Awaken Love Yoga Teacher Training lights the way.”

Imagine waking up in the morning and taking a deep breath, feeling supported by many powerful practices that help you soften into love, let go, unravel, and release tension.

Visualize yourself walking through your day with a deeper sense of connection to your breath, your body, the Earth, and universal life force energy. With this sense of expanded awareness you smell, see, and sense more vividly. You feel open to all life’s possibilities, living through the heart, with purpose. 

Knowing whatever challenges you may experience you have access to an inner wealth of resources that you can utilize to embrace and uplift yourself and those around you.

Reiki (pronounced “Ray’-Key”) is a Holistic, light touch, energy-based modality that establishes normal energy-flow in the body, enhancing the body’s innate healing ability. 

As part of the integrative healing component of this Yoga Teacher Training you will receive Reiki level 1, 2 and Masters Attunements.

Hatha is the union of sun and moon. Hatha Yoga is physical yoga, the yoga of asanas (physical postures), and is the most widely popularized form of Yoga. It is the form that nearly every style of Yoga taught in the West is derived from.

Many describe Kundalini as the coil of the hair of the Beloved. The Beloved is God, Spirit, the Universe- whatever you want to call it. The Kundalini is that piece of God, Spirit, and the Universal Intelligence within. 

Kundalini means “the curl of the hair of the beloved” and yoga is union. Kundalini Yoga works fast to give you the experience of the fruits of yoga. It is a high science designed to awaken the full potential of human consciousness in each individual and expand that awareness to our unlimited Self. This practice simply changes you from the inside out and makes you want to be a better person and live a more heart-centered life.

Many people who sign up for a yoga teacher training have no intention of ever teaching – rather, they are ready to create a big change in their lives and/or are looking to deepen their personal practice. So whether you think you want to teach yoga or not, this training is about you: opening your heart, accepting yourself more fully and living the life you dream of. Taking this time to devote to loving yourself will open many doors in your life.

Yoga and meditation are designed to control the fluctuations of the mind. The true goal of yoga is to become flexible in the mind, what the mind does the body follows. This compassionate training is designed for those who seek to be in union (yoga) with all of who they are. Cultivating strength and flexibility are a few of the many benefits of the sacred practices we will be experiencing.
