Yoga Teacher Training in Ojai, California
SHIVAKALI YOGA 200-HR TEACHER TRAINING
At LIGHT + SPACE YOGA
CERTIFICATION ON WEEKENDS!
Shivakali Yoga offers a 200-Hour (Alignment-Based) Vinyasa Yoga training, rooted in traditional yogic philosophy and the original system of Hatha Yoga. We believe in immersing students in the ancient meditative traditions that gave birth to modern Yoga, while providing them with a firm ground in modern alignment, methodology, sequencing, and contemporary approaches to practice.
“The two together, ancient and present, combine to create our practice.”

COURSE OF TRAINING
Our Ojai California yoga teacher training progresses over 11 weeks by a map of the Chakras, starting at the root and ending with the crown. During the root segment, students will ground their intentions for teaching/practice, and learn the vast history of Yoga from the Vedas through the Upanishads, Buddhism, Yoga Sutras, Bhakti traditions, Tantric Lineages and contemporary Yoga Schools. In the sacral chakra we will uncover the countless layers of the subtle body, learn the principles of Ayurveda, gain an overview of classical Tantra, and practice Yoga Nidra. As we progress through the navel chakra we will explore Yoga's connection with power, fire, and introduce Lakshmi practice & the business of Yoga.
In the heart we will encounter the path of Bhakti (devotional) Yoga, as well as ceremony, prayer and healing. Moving upwards into the throat chakra students will learn about Kashmir Shaivism and the Sanskrit language, pronunciation, principles of chanting, and a wealth of mantra & deity practices. Progressing to the third eye the training becomes increasingly more subtle, as we encounter an array of Yogic meditations, explore Yogic Buddhism, and turn inward in silence. Culminating in the crown, trainees will receive kundalini awakening practices, learn Shakti mantra, Yogic fire ceremony, and receive an initiation into the practice.
