Modular Approach

Your trainings are immersions. That means you come to Downingtown PA and stay in our dedicated retreat center, Lokananda, which means “Your Bliss Place.”

Each certification pathway features a different number of modules, depending on the level of expertise you choose to cultivate.  Each year, 2-3 modules are offered. Each module features an immersion followed by your at-home DTS mentoring, which takes 3-4 months. 

You can return for another immersion after your DTS or you may schedule your modules farther apart. Simply maintain your Current Standing status between your modules, which requires a training every year or two.

Many of your fellow students will be on the same schedule as you, though that can change. The flexibility allows for life events as well as choicefulness about your learning process. It also means you get to know more therapists-in-training. You’ll have lots of yoga buddies!

Keep an eye on your prerequisites for each training. You can mix up the order of trainings to a certain extent, but only if you satisfy the prerequisites. In addition, each training has a “Preparation” requirement, which often is that you complete a certain number of private sessions and/or classes.

The teachings and materials are brilliant in their content and sequence. Thank you for the amazing process! -Catherine F.

Sutras and anatomy are woven into each immersion. In other words, as you learn technique, you’re also learning how and why it works. First you experience it in your own body, then you learn how to do it for someone else, and then you study how and why it works. It all comes together in the inner multidimensionality, a tantric interweaving.

The Sanskrit word “tantra” means “loom.” As a yogic discipline, it is the interweaving of the Divine and the mundane, the warp and woof that turn threads into a cloth. The goal is that you live in the wholeness of your own Beingness, in an empowered and bliss-filled way.
