Become a Yasodhara Trained Teacher

Yasodhara Ashram-trained teachers work from their experience and rely on their own foundation of yoga to guide and inspire others. We aim to build this foundation in all of our teachers.

“Part of being a teacher is being an on-going learner.”

Swami Radhananda

    Prerequisites: The Yoga Development Course, and the Hatha Yoga Teacher Certification. Completion of the YDC book reflections project is also a requirement.
  4. Kundalini & Dream Teacher Certification Delve deeply into the realms of mind and consciousness in a course as popular with experienced teachers as with those learning to teach for the first time. An intensive fourteen-day certification.

Yasodhara Ashram acknowledges the Ktunaxa and Sinixt first peoples on whose unceded territory we are caretakers and guests.

To take action, we have started The Reconciliation Fund and will collect $25 from each guest to be donated to a First Nations non-profit organization, with the intention to help balance past injustices.
