01
Classical Yoga Philosophy
The Yoga Sūtras, Aṣṭāṅga Yoga, Kriyā Yoga, the guṇas, kleśas, karma, and saṁskāras — the philosophical foundations of yogic living.
Why This Training Exists
The world does not need more yoga instructors.
It needs teachers who understand the deeper purpose of yoga.
◆Teachers who understand the mind as well as the body.
◆Teachers who can guide meaningful change — not simply lead exercise classes.
◆Teachers who help people cultivate health, resilience, awareness, purpose, and fulfilment.
For thousands of years, yoga has been far more than a physical practice. It has served as a complete science of human transformation — a systematic approach to understanding suffering, cultivating awareness, and creating lasting wellbeing. This certification is for those who wish to study, and teach, at that level.

Meet Your Guide
Rooted in living traditions.
Nrikeśarī Dāsa is a Yoga Therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and Vedic astrologer trained in Ayurveda through Dr Vasant Lad and Dr Jayarajan Kodikannath, and in astrology through the 500-year-old Śrī Ācyutānanda lineage under Pandit Sanjay Rath and Freedom Cole, and in the Yoga tradition of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya through A. G. Mohan. He was fortunate to be initiated into Bhakti Yoga by Devamrita Swami, coming in the disciplic succession of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda. He combines these classical systems with a grounded understanding of human behaviour and psychology — a precise, results-driven approach to resolving root causes and creating lasting change.

Student Experiences
Learn from a teacher people trust.
These reflections come from Nrikeśarī's Yoga Therapy clients — the same therapeutic framework this certification trains you to teach. What they describe is what your future students will experience.
As a psychologist, I intellectually understood stress and trauma, but this work helped me experience regulation physically rather than just understand it conceptually. The combination of breathwork, restorative movement, mindfulness, and nervous-system practices genuinely changed my relationship with anxiety.
Hannah R.
Taiwan
After years of burnout I reached a point where my body simply couldn't keep going. Nrikeśarī helped me understand that healing wasn't about pushing harder — it was about changing the underlying patterns that created the burnout. I now feel calmer, clearer, and emotionally grounded again.
Adrian L.
Australia
This completely changed my understanding of yoga. It wasn't about performance or flexibility — it was about healing. I feel calmer, more emotionally resilient, sleep more deeply, and feel far more connected to myself.
Shaunak K.
Australia
It gave me a far more holistic framework for recovery. Most approaches focused only on symptom management — this addressed the whole system, and genuinely improved my quality of life.
Jason W.
New Zealand
I came for chronic neck and shoulder pain, but it became much deeper. I learned how stress, breathing patterns, emotional tension, and lifestyle were all connected. My pain reduced and I feel emotionally lighter.
Chloe P.
United Kingdom
I had spent years in constant anxiety and nervous-system overwhelm. The breathwork and nervous-system practices completely changed how I experience stress — and I finally felt safe in my own body again.
