Yoga Teacher Trainings 2023

YTT 200HR & 300HR Reflections

Starting From March – October 2023 , Rishikesh, India

In 2023, we had the honour of guiding five Yoga Teacher Trainings in Rishikesh—a mix of 200HR and 300HR programs that brought together an incredible community of students from around the world.

Held at Maha Rishi Yoga Peeth, right on the banks of the sacred Ganges, these trainings were more than just certifications—they were deep dives into the body, breath, and soul. Together with Dav Jones and Siddarth, we offered a curriculum that blended ancient yogic wisdom with modern nervous system science, creating a truly holistic and embodied learning experience.

Over the course of 28+ immersive days, students explored:

  • Multi-style asana practice (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Iyengar-informed)
  • Foundational yoga philosophy
  • Pranayama and meditation techniques
  • Yogic kriyas and an introduction to the Shatkarmas
  • Teaching methodology and intelligent sequencing
  • Applied anatomy and physiology
  • Hands-on adjustments and assists
  • Somatic awareness and an introduction to applied Polyvagal Theory
  • Handstand fundamentals (for 300HR students)
  • Full Yoga Alliance certification (200HR or 300HR)

Airport transfers, accommodation, and nourishing meals were all included, allowing students to fully focus on the depth of the training.

We didn’t just train teachers—we held space for unraveling, remembering, and growth. The classrooms became sanctuaries. The students became family. And the teachings came to life through trembling breakthroughs, full-body laughter, river dips, chai-fuelled integration circles, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.

To everyone who joined us: thank you for walking the path, for trusting the process, and for becoming part of this growing lineage of heart-led, embodied guides. We can’t wait to welcome the next wave.
