Yoga Teacher Training for Mental Health

At our institute, we blend the wisdom of Viniyoga, Ayurveda, and ancient texts like the Sutras, Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita with modern insights from science and neuroscience. Our Yoga Teacher Training is rooted in the Eight Limbs of Yoga and focuses on mental health and trauma recovery. We aim to help you live a yogic life with peace and confidence while developing your teaching skills to share this knowledge with others.

We foster a compassionate and supportive community where you’ll gain tools to navigate life’s challenges, ease suffering, and help others along their journey.

We are proud of the meaningful growth our students experience with us. Choosing the right Yoga Teacher Training is an important step in your yoga journey, and we’d love to be part of it.
