Patanjali’s 2,000 year old system gives us everything we need for growing a Garden of Inner Awareness: The Sunshine of Daily Practice (Tapasya), Surrendering a Distracted Mind (Ishwara Pranidhana), and Supplementing the soil of your garden through Self-Reflection (Svadyaya). All that’s left is a supportive group of yogis, and the time to let the teachings sink in, welcome to your training!

A caterpillar can’t just add ‘wings’ to its to-do list in order to become a butterfly, but how often do we all take that kind of approach to changing our lives? Instead, we must learn to ‘go inside our cocoon' through meditation, and remain there until an inner transformation naturally unfolds. Lucky for us, we can transform ourselves in just 30 minutes a day, instead of being trapped in a cocoon for 3 years like some caterpillars. That’s the Spirit of Transformation at the heart of the Sanskrit word ‘Sankalpa’, life’s natural means to lasting change.
-
The practice of mantra repetition is one of the most effective means of diving beneath the crashing waves of a busy mind— It not only protects you from the turbulence of hurry worry that often surrounds you, but draws your awareness to the stillness and clarity within, naturally residing below the choppy surface. Sure, you can find a mantra on the internet in a few seconds, but a Chaitanya (living) mantra, handed down through four generations of realized masters, is a Priceless Pearl amidst an ocean of search results.
-
Teaching doesn’t begin with pen and paper, it begins with play and practice. To communicate a message, you first need an experience— derived both from your practice on the cushion and in your life. Whether you plan to teach to the public, to friends and family, or to no one at all, the art of teaching will open up a whole new world of spiritual potential for you and your students in any modality in which you wish to apply it.
-
We can all point to our physical heart, but do we know how to ‘go there and roam’ in that heart energetically? This isn’t a new-age concept, but rather, is one of the most intuitive and powerful teachings of the Yogic Tradition, and a fundamental tool for daily life. Through the practice of Surrender you will learn how to open your heart safely and skillfully in all of life’s circumstances, from the good to the bad to the mundane. Because an open heart is something no one can take away.
-
Teaching someone how to ride a bike takes energy, but once you do they’re empowered for a life time. The same goes for meditation— with a little bit of technique and insight, you can teach any level of practitioner how to ‘pedal their practice’ and ‘steer their awareness’ into the endless horizon of their hearts.
-
We all know how to breathe, but very few of us know how to ‘be breathed’, to watch our breath without pushing, pulling, or missing it entirely. The key to breath awareness is knowing the subtle steps that take you to this invisible realm, the bridge that we walk from the physical to the subtle and beyond— otherwise you are sure to end up breathing yourself in circles, instead of walking this invisible bridge to the core of your Being.
-
Spiritual growth is not a linear experience, but rather, a spiraling one— we must not only expand in our lives, but maintain our center as we do so, the essence of a spiral. This kind of growth is the practice of keeping a majority of your attention inside while you navigate the external world around you— the essence of the term Shambhavananda, and the core teachings of this lineage. Unlocking this ‘golden ratio’ in your life transmutes daily challenges into cosmic consciousness, the secret teaching of a spiritual life.
-
Gratitude has the potential to change your life in an instant— but this kind of depth is only available when it is combined with expansiveness of a daily meditation practice. Transform this pleasant practice into a life changing experience through the ancient Sutras and lineage teachings of Shambhavananda yoga.
-
In everyday life, if you were to spend the day sweating, and accumulating both physical and mental debris, you wouldn’t hesitate to clean up afterwards with a shower would you? But how do we wash away inner residue? That’s where the practice of Tension Release comes in, a lineage based practice to flush out the daily tensions that tend to accumulate within us.

Why take a Yoga Teacher Certification?
Teaching is Learning! Statistics show that teaching is the most comprehensive way to learn a subject. If you read a book, or watch a video, on a subject you will probably retain only about 10%-20% of the material. But if you try teaching that material to a friend you will probably retain 90% of it— That’s a big deal! That’s why your yoga teacher certification and Spiritual Meditation Teacher Training with Konalani incorporate small group teaching every step of the way during your training. And this is also why the live online format is essential for anyone looking to truly deepen their practice, and gain the life long support of fellow students and teachers.
Whether you intend to teach professionally or not, though, your yoga teacher certification and Spiritual Meditation Teacher Training with Konalani will expand your personal practice while simultaneously empowering you to skillfully guide others along the path as well. Overall student’s have found year after year that that the practice of teaching yoga, whether to make a living or to help a friend, profoundly inspires their spiritual practice and keeps the creative spark alive in their own personal journey.
Why take a spiritual meditation teacher training?
Konalani’s spiritual meditation teacher training brings you the ancient teachings of yogic history brought to life by over a hundred years of lineage based mastery and decades of course refining methodology. There is absolutely no spiritual meditation teacher training like it on the planet. You will be taught the living practices of the ShambhavAnanda tradition, empowering you to transform your life from the inside out— without a doubt the fastest path to nourishing an authentic spiritual life.
Why become certified in teaching Embodied Yoga?
Teaching Embodied Yoga is a gift beyond words for all levels of practitioners. It’s a re-birth of a truly creative and sustainable yoga practice. Teaching Embodied Yoga is the practice of learning to feel your yoga postures from the inside out through introspective cues that lead to more improved mobility, stability and creativity in every posture. This style encompasses the past 100 years of alignment based cues and expands far beyond them, making alignment a proactive movement based experience. The current “shape-based” yoga paradigm that stretches the body according to angles to ‘achieve’ a certain posture has led to an epidemic in yoga injuries and a fundamental misunderstanding of yoga’s innate purpose. New research in fascia and functional movement patterns are validating what Yogis have always known, and verifies what teaching embodied yoga is all about— the practice of yoga is a fluid experience of exploration that requires constant inner attention, and simply can’t be commanded from the outside-in.
