Raja Yoga Teacher Training

Would you like to enrich your life, deepen your teaching, and infuse your personal practice with greater spiritual insight? Raja Yoga Teacher Training provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the subtle and profound teachings of Yoga and learn how to skillfully share them with others.

Raja Yoga is the science of meditation based on self-mastery. It presents the philosophy and psychology of Yoga in a systematic way, guiding one to greater peace and balance in life and the highest spiritual realization.

The whole world is yearning for peace. The one sure solution is for more and more people to experience that peace in their own hearts and then express it in their lives. Raja Yoga provides a comprehensive approach to attain that goal, addressing all levels of the individual: physical, mental, social and spiritual. In so doing, it is a pathway to freedom from all sorrow, fear, and delusion.

The curriculum includes:

• In-depth exploration of the Yoga Sutras
• Instruction in how to incorporate the teachings into daily life
• Opportunities to deepen your Hatha Yoga, pranayama and meditation practice
• Training in how to teach, including answering questions and leading discussions
• Syllabus for a seven-week Raja Yoga course

We welcome you to join us on this transformative journey for greater health, happiness, and fulfillment in life.

Testimonials

Swami Karunananda is a master of the subject matter… she is a living example of how to walk the path of Raja Yoga.
— Past Participant

Swami Karunananda really inspires with her deep, intricate knowledge of the Yoga Sutras and with her experience in controlling the mind. She helped me see how I could become more committed to controlling my own mind.

Swami Karunananda is extremely knowledgeable and her presentation is without equal. Her use of stories to illustrate a point is superb.
