“I had an amazing time learning about Svaroopa Yoga. I definitely want (and need) to take this further. I had my sister and a few girlfriends(my guinea pigs) over yesterday and ran a class- was supposed to only be 75 minutes, but went for 2 hours, but the results from feedback from the girls was truly uplifting! They said that despite all the propping etc, they all felt so much more movement and release than from what I would traditionally teach in my normal Hatha class….. Interesting.” Marg W

It was one of the best weekends of my life! …. It has given me much more clarity on some of the poses and adjustments. Amanda C

Annual Retreat

Every year Janaki runs a retreat – somewhere in the countryside, not too far from Brisbane – for a nurturing weekend of yoga, meditation, relaxation and rest. Ask Janaki for this year’s brochure.

“I had never heard of Svaroopa® Yoga until I was invited by a friend to attend the Retreat last year (2009). Svaroopa® Yoga has improved my chronic back/shoulder/neck issues that have plagued me for years. I was a regular attendee at my local physiotherapist every 2-3 weeks without fail. You’ll be thrilled to hear that since the Retreat last October I have not been to the physio once. How’s that! I find the slow lengthening of the muscles and non dynamic yoga has improved my condition out of sight. I would strongly encourage anyone with muscular problems to try Svaroopa® Yoga – it has helped change my life around.”—Leslee F

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience at the retreat. I will treasure my time away with such beautiful people close to my heart. I have never felt so enriched and grateful for what I have received from my experience.” Loren B

Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher Training (YTT)

Svaroopa® yoga teachers are trailblazers! Working in a completely different paradigm, they are based the most comprehensive yoga training available. They lead their students into experiencing their bodies in a whole new way, and going far beyond the physical benefits that yoga can provide. Svaroopa® yoga teachers lead the way with their own transformation, as well as helping others to transform their bodies, minds and lives.

“Be prepared to let go of who you think you are and be open to the possibility of who you can become-and know that in that process, you will see who you have always been inside.” – Jody G.

YTT Program Overview

“After the training I really understand that I’m not only teaching yoga poses, but
really helping my students change their bodies and minds.” – Louise D.

“I got great clarity and balance, and it was just plain fun.” – Jennifer G.

As a yoga teacher, you know how to handle other people’s bodies. They come in with aches and pains or genuine physical problems – you must know what they need. Our professional Teacher Training prepares you for this daunting and important service. We provide the most thorough training available, including more poses, more handouts, more personal coaching, more change in your own body and the ability to provide profoundly healing Yoga Therapy sessions for your students. Even teachers in other styles of yoga recognize Svaroopa® yoga teachers as the most qualified and highly trained teachers with unsurpassed skill in handling diverse bodies. You begin to earn money as a teacher after your first course (Foundations-see below) , so you can pay your way with your new professional skills!

“The extensive experiential training has given me a confidence boost, even past being a yoga teacher.” – Margaret C.

“Teacher Training and all the programs I have taken have provided me with life-changing discoveries that have resulted in a better quality of life for me.” -Andrea P.

We support you every step of the way, while giving you a thorough understanding of the depths of yoga’s teachings. Each of our modular courses is both compassionate and rigorous, based in your ever-expanding inner experience. You learn to teach people with different types of bodies, customizing the poses for their needs while you lead them through a body-changing, life-changing process. Our YTT curriculum provides you with 685 hours of training and support.

You gain all the tools you need to be an inspiring, experienced and compassionate teacher, including:

  • 128 asanas (poses), including personalized props &
    adjustments, detailed on over 800 pages of pose handouts
  • 325 pose adjustments
  • Anatomy & physiology
  • Teaching methodology
  • Supervised teaching with personalized coaching
  • Meditation instruction and experience
  • Yoga sutras and teachings on philosophy
  • Sanskrit terminology
  • Chanting and mantras
  • Experiential asana classes
  • Hour-long guided Shavasanas and discussion
  • Full year of personalized mentorship
  • Personal guidance and support in a nurturing environment

The core of our modular program is the four 10-day Intensives (YTT Level 1, 2, 3 & 4) which are total immersion programs. You experience profound personal growth, along with essential support for your transformation through your body, mind, heart, soul and more. You return to your daily life with more energy and moreclarity, and an ability to live in an ever-expanding openness that will touch your students as well as everyone else in your life.

“Each YTT gets better – more and more powerful.” – Caroline K.

“What I have gained in 9 days is what many lifetimes may have brought for me. I was propelled!.like being shot out of a cannon..forward or rather deeper into Self.” – Susan W.

“Getting deeper openings helped me to ‘surrender’ and open my heart.” – Suzanne B.

In addition to these four Intensives, you take three shorter trainings (listed below), plus a year-long mentorship titled Develop Your Teaching Skills (DTS). DTS is an at-home, self-study program with a monthly phone call with your Mentor and a partner-Mentee, specifically designed to help you apply everything you learned in your weekly classes. This is another way in which Master Yoga leads the way in quality teacher training! We work in small groups (10-25), and our teacher-student ratio is low, with one teacher for every 8-12 students, so youget the personal attention and support you need.

“The DTS has surpassed my expectations!!! I did not really understand the scope of this integrative module/tool until I actually started doing the work. Truly incredible experience….” – Suzanne Connelly

“Having a mentor was extremely helpful in that question the handouts brought up for me or anything that I didn’t understand was clarified. Having a group to learn with helped bring up questions/answers I hadn’t thought of and gave me a broader
view.” – Christine Hernandez

We work hard to make these modular trainings available to you, with many of them offered in various locations in the USA
as well as in Australia. We also have a scholarship program, work-study program and payment plansavailable. Please let us help you make this work for you!

Our program is a Registered Teacher Training with the national Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour and 500-hour levels. Swami Nirmalananda (Rama) was the founding president of Yoga Alliance, which recognizes yoga teachers and teacher training schools. Master Yoga is recognized at the highest level, as our Teacher Training offers more hours, more depth and more support than any other. Enjoy superb training in an environment that supports your profound healing and transformation – far beyond anything you even think is possible for you to achieve! We delight in your success.
