Kali Natha Yoga Teacher Training

This course is designed for students who have a deep desire to be certified to teach yoga or wish to deepen and broaden their own personal yogic practice. Our programs are designed to teach participants how to teach and bring the depth of yoga and spirituality to others.

Kali Natha Yoga ignites the flame of self-awakening. The practice of Kali Natha Yoga incorporates pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation and traditional asana into numerous flow series. Each asana series is a sacred flowing dance that immerses you into the essence of that particular series. This system of yoga, developed by Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, is a profound tool that awakens kundalini energy, increases flexibility and strength, reduces stress, creates peace of mind and opens the yogic channels, enabling practitioners to become more aware.

Kali Natha Yoga Teacher Training

Students learn in a sacred Ashram environment and have the opportunity to be taught by the founder of Kali Natha Yoga, Ma Jaya. Kashi is a special oasis, reminiscent of ancient India where temples from many traditions abound; the sacred Ganga pond holds the antiquity of the holy Ganges River, and the saints of India come alive.
