Guided Shakti Meditation:
Yoga Shakti has distilled the vast science of meditation and incorporated it into a program that is accessible and compatible with our busy modern lifestyle. Shakti Meditation was developed by Master Yogi Jnana Nanda Bharati who is from an unbroken lineage that can be traced back in India for over five thousand years. Drawing from his over 30 years of intense training and personal experience of the traditional esoteric practices of yoga and meditation, Jnana Nanda Bharati has incorporated this knowledge of the human body, nervous system, energetic system and mind to create a practice which can naturally and systematically lead the practitioner into meditation. Our guided Shakti Meditation classes and Introductory courses help students find clarity and peace of mind.

Teacher Training:
Yoga Shakti’s Advanced Yoga Studies and Teacher Training Program is intended for yoga practitioners who seek an understanding and internal experience of the traditional and authentic aspects of yoga. From the philosophy, practices and underlying concepts of yoga to the history of the ancient Vedic and yogic culture, the course has been designed to help students develop not just into well-rounded yoga teachers, but internally balanced human beings. Through a process of self-discovery, students learn to incorporate the subtleties of the yogic teachings into their daily lives, enabling them to build inner strength and experience glimpses of the self-realization that is the true gift of yoga. Yoga Shakti’s community oriented and supportive environment establishes a solid foundation upon which the internal yogic journey can flourish.
Foundational and Advanced Teacher Training The training is divided into two programs; completion of both offers Yoga Alliance registration at the 200 and 500 Hour level.
The 200 Hour program provides a solid foundation in the structure and practice of poses and prepares the student to teach.
In the 300 Hour program, we build on this foundation and delve deeper into more advanced class sequencing, workshop development, further study of the anatomy and physiology of yoga, private lessons and the business of yoga. We also explore the more subtle teachings of yoga with Sanskrit, chants and mantras, pranayama and meditation.
Graduates will also have access to further study tools, mentoring, and assistant teaching opportunities to hone their skills as instructors. The curriculum’s emphasis on experiential education and practical application, rather than memorization of information, ensures that graduates are as prepared for a successful teaching career as they are for a successful yogic life.
Teachers:
Our teachers are hand-picked for their depth of practice and extent of training and experience. Dedicated to the lifestyle of yoga, our teaching team will inspire you to be a healthier, calmer, and happier person. Most of our teachers are trained through Yoga Shakti’s extensive Teacher Training and Advance Yoga Studies course, internship and mentoring programs and in-depth study of yoga philosophy and lifestyle. They are taught to live in yoga with passion and teach with a commitment to the ancient traditions of yoga. All Yoga Shakti instructors bring compassion for each student and an attitude of service to every class.
Ayurveda:
Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, is a 5000 year old natural system of health maintenance, disease prevention and healing.
Ayurveda recognizes that each person has a unique mind-body constitution. Our practitioners, who are available for personal consultations, identify that basic constitution and determine what imbalances and disturbances exist. We provide education, guidance and a plan for helping the individual improve their health and wellness.
