This course is designed for anyone interested in deepening their yogic practice and those who are also interested in taking the first step to becoming a certified yoga instructor. There are no physical or educational prerequisites to register in a 200HR YTT. We do recommend that students have a regular practice prior to attending the course. Not interested in becoming a yoga teacher? No problem! This course is still an incredible way to deepen your knowledge and take some time away from your day-to-day distractions by diving into an immersive yoga experience. 

The 300HR YTT course is catered to people who are currently teaching yoga and are seeking to harness their teaching style, advance their sequencing skills, and further develop their facilitation skills. The 300-hour curriculum is designed to move students from the level of “teaching a yoga class” to the level of “guiding an inspirational experience”.

• Feel comfortable teaching yoga to a group

• Have completed a 200HR YTT, with a good understanding of material and a solid foundation in yogic philosophy, asana, and facilitation

All students registered in the YTT must stay onsite where the YTT is being held. An important part of the YTT experience is the immersion in yogic community; where all students undergo the transformative experience within the safe container of the retreat setting. Students eat together and study together. Most of the retreat centers are nestled in nature, far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be comfortably housed offsite. Stay, enjoy, relax, and take in all the beauty your YTT experience has to offer.

Yes! We offer payment plans. See our pricing policies or Email us for more information.

Kula Collective offers scholarship and internship opportunities to make our offerings accessible to those in all socio-economic situations. Because of the intensive immersion nature of the courses, we cannot offer work-trade during the course. We are also not able to offer work-trade or any discounts on R&B, as this money goes directly to the site. Please look at our longer-term Internship Opportunities if you are interested in work exchange!

Kula also has a grant program to give residents of our host locations the opportunity to participate in our teacher trainings. Upon completion of the training, grantees share their learning's with others in their community to continue spinning the Wheel of Dharma. Learn more about our Kula Karma Program.

Within each of us lies a guru, a wise one who knows the truth behind each of our thoughts, words, and actions, an ancient soul that sees through to the essence of all things and knows all there is to be known. Our unique offerings will help reveal the voice of this wise one, giving you the tools and language you need to share the spiritual practice of yoga and empowering you to trust in the channel of truth you carry.

Our Yoga Teacher Trainings and Transformational Retreat offerings are created as holistic experiences; to understand Yoga you must first understand Self... body, mind, and spirit. 

Kula Collective is Yoga Alliance certified at the 200 hour level and 300 hour level.

Yoga Alliance® is the largest internationally recognized registering body for yoga teachers, studios and schools and is the largest nonprofit association representing the yoga community (see website here).  Yoga Alliance provides a set of educational standards for yoga schools that specify hours or study in certain Educational Categories, to ensure schools provide adequate training to yoga teachers, enabling them to teach safely and competently.

Kula Collective trainings draw from a broad foundational understanding of the vast tradition that is this 5000 year old approach to Self-realization. We thread the four traditional paths throughout our training programs, encouraging a holistic and experiential approach to practice and teaching.

We also weave together diverse understandings of various wisdom cultures and infuse a shamanic connection to the Earth and her elements.

In regards to Asana practice, the ‘Kula Flow’ is a slow vinyasa based sequence with an emphasis on mindfulness, breath, meditation, and alignment. Since vinyasa is not derived from any one lineage, as a collective we have come up with a creative sequence rooted in multiple traditions. The Kula Flow is has roots in Ashtanga, Sivananda, Kundalini, Hatha, and Iyengar. The intention of the flow is to give students an opportunity to access the stillness of the mind, preparing the body for meditation; the foundation of Yoga. As the program progresses, variations on the Kula Flow will be offered for different levels of experience.

The first round of teaching will be the Kula Flow; the second round will be a beginners or intermediate level class where students are required to create and sequence their own class holistically around a theme of their choice, and will be mentored throughout this process 

Our morning Art Of Practice sessions will be 2 hours each day incorporating meditation, mantra, asana, pranayama, and relaxation. Each afternoon we will dive into Art of Teaching sessions for 3 hours each day where we break down asana, sequencing, teaching, alignment and adjustment techniques in personal, group and peer-teaching practices.

Yes! We take great pride in preparing students to become teachers. Teaching yoga is an art form. It is a process of intimacy; one that asks for deep movement within both giver and receiver: through love, authenticity, attention and connection. There are many ways in which yoga can be shared, but here at Kula Collective we believe that the fundamental principle that links all of our yoga teaching is Connection; the concept that in order to truly help another being to find oneness, we must ourselves be a channel to that oneness for our students.

Our YTT’s will help you to find this connection within, in order to share your light with others, helping to awaken and inspire all those around us. You will be given a broad foundational of all areas necessary to give you the confidence, skills, and wisdom to share this profound healing practice.

Yes. Kula Collective’s unique programs are structured around three cycles, which will offer one full day and two half days off during a 16-day program and 2 full days off during a 21-day program. Satsang will be shared every other night in order to allow space in the evenings for reflection and integration.

Kula Collective weaves together diverse holistic experiences and educational offerings from each of our members, drawn together as a whole through using a common thread that respects ancestral traditions, unites our passions, and inspires spiritual growth in ourselves and in others.
