MUCH MORE THAN A YOGA TEACHER TRAINING!

KUNDALINI YOGA, AYURVEDA, THE ENNEAGRAM AS WELL AS THE STUDY OF LUNAR CYCLES WILL EQUIP YOU WITH AN ESSENTIAL TOOLKIT FOR WELLBEING, AND FULL ACCESS TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING THE SUBTLE FLUCTUATIONS OF YOUR BODY, AS WELL AS PREPARE YOU TO TEACH STUDENTS ONLINE OR IN-PERSON.

If you've ever wanted to study Kundalini Yoga, this program offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practice.

ENNEAGRAM FRAMEWORK

Trauma-informed Kundalini yoga, through the framework of Enneagram, helps you understand how to return to your True Nature with efficiency, and precision.

The Enneagram is a brilliant personality typing system that helps individuals understand how they handle their emotions and interact with the world.

Enneagram is a union of psychology and spirituality. It will offer you a brilliant vision of your own potential and a clear map of the nine pathways to your highest self-expression.

AYURVEDA

Ayurveda, the ancient art of balancing the body and mind, is a large part of this course, providing you with practical tools to create lifestyle habits to promote your wellness, as well as design classes that complement seasonal changes.

Ayurveda translates to “knowledge of life.” Helps us understand our individual body type. Ayurveda helps us understand our vehicle that we travel through life in, to make adjustments, to eat, sleep in rhythm with our physical body.

Lunar Archetypes

Lunar Archetypes allow us to connect with the natural rhythms of our bodies, as we move with the cycles of the moon. These archetypes are present for us throughout our lives, whether we have a moon cycle or not.

When we look at ourselves through these archetypal lenses and apply practices to keep us in balance we live a more aligned life. In this training we will recognize the 4 main archetypes in our bodies and minds, and be able to embrace their strengths and nourish them to meet their unique needs.

KUNDALINI YOGA IS OFTEN CALLED ‘WISDOM YOGA’, AND THE ‘YOGA OF AWARENESS’.

It is a unique combination of breath practice, mantra, meditation, energetic movement, and of physical asana all packaged together in a single transformational experience.

THE UNIQUE COMBINATION OF THESE PRACTICES IS WHAT MAKES SPIRITUAL WARRIOR STAND OUT FROM OTHER 300HR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS.

FEATURES OF THIS TRAINING

☀ Your life will be infused with the practices of Kundalini Yoga and Ayurveda daily. Setting yourself up to teach the path that you are living. 

☀ A compassionate, caring community forms immediately and lasts beyond the training.

☀ Active, live taught classrooms and office hours provide an opportunity to develop personal connection and interaction at a level that surpasses in person programs. 

☀ Personalized attention from our educators in our live sessions and in our private secure online classroom + community.

WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH KRI, 3HO OR YOGI BHAJAN

The yoga you will practice and learn to teach is based on the ancient sciences of Kundalini yoga and Ayurveda. Jeannie, the lead educator, has learned from and studied in many schools of yoga. She brings a practical, modernized, easy to understand approach without the baggage of some kundalini yoga traditions.

Although we acknowledge the breadth of knowledge of Yogi Bhajan and what he brought to the world, in this school we recognize that the roots of Kundalini Practices (Laya Yoga and Kriya Yoga), go far deeper than his lineage. It is our assertion and intention that students learn to tap into the inner light and power.

This is a ‘Guru Free’ teacher training. Students are encouraged to bring in their own spiritual traditions and teach from a space that is authentic to them.

It is vitally important that as yoga practitioners and teachers, we acknowledge that experiential learning, embodied practice and using our own inner guidance system is far more efficient than following a strict doctrine.

HOW ONLINE TRAINING WORKS

Most online schools simply send you a bunch of videos and wish you luck. There is an abundance of evidence to show that this type of learning, particularly for movement practices, just doesn’t work. Here at Yoga Farm Ithaca, we take the opposite approach, and we recognize that in order to learn and grow, first there must be a sense of belonging and connection. 

Our trainers are Educators, and have decades of experience in the classroom. At YFI each program has been developed with learning styles, and curriculum flow in mind. 

We have tested various teaching methods to ensure that online learning feels like in-person learning. 

Our courses are live, interactive, engaging, and connecting. The development and growth of our graduates speaks for itself.

  • You’ll be issued a login and password for our official eLearning platform Mighty Network where you’ll find classes, cue sheets, notes, recorded lessons, and more. This new and updated platform has five times the number of resources offered on any other course and also serves as a social networking platform for community connection.

  • Can’t make live class? No problem. The replay is available within 48 hrs, and every single question is answered by your trainers.

    Written feedback on your final teaching video

    Real world teaching experience in almost every session

    A supportive peer group

    Mix-media, hands-on approach for a “never boring” and fast-paced learning environment

  • Our private Online Academy group is where most of the discussions happen. This is a space to ask questions and receive feedback from your instructors and to make connections with your classmates.

  • You’ll submit a total of three reflective exams and two practice teaching demo videos. All assignments are designed to reinforce and demonstrate learning, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. If for some reason you’re struggling with an assignment, an instructor or TA will work with you to ensure your success.

JAYA LALITA

JAYALALITA, AKA JAYA THE TRUST COACH MFA., IS A SEEKER WHO DOES NOT ASPIRE TO ENLIGHTENMENT.

The fact that she used to be a moody, depressive, overwhelmed victim accounts for the if-I-can-change-anyone-can mentality she brings to her life-coaching work.   

Jaya first discovered the Enneagram in high school when, in typical 4 style, she was already geared toward trying to understand herself, since obviously no one else did. (If you're not yet familiar with this gorgeous and complex 9-point personality typology system, you'll get that joke later.)    

As part of her work, she studies, uses, and teaches this system with an emphasis on total self-acceptance and acceptance of others, and in awe of the marvelous journeys that the types describe and unique human beings play out in their own ways.

KIM BEEKMAN

THE WORLD IS AWAKENING, AND KIM BEEKMAN IS ON THE TRANSITION TEAM! KIM HAS AN INSATIABLE PASSION FOR AWAKENING HUMANITY SO WE CAN TRULY EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH (BLISS!), IN OUR BODIES, ON THE DAILY.

Her Yoga style incorporates the 8-limb path and goes way beyond asana to bridge yogis back to the true goal of yoga—Divine Union with Source. 

Kim is a Soul Retrieval Healer and founder of Inner Alignment System©, a 6-layered-body approach to healing. She uses the IA System to help clients release the long-term effects of childhood trauma stored in the body through her Soul Retrieval for Healing Childhood Trauma Program©, a two-month intensive healing program.

In this 300 hr YTT, Kim will teach the 6-layered-body approach to healing and Ayurvedic Psychology
