300hr online advanced
yoga teacher training

SIGN UP TO THE 2023 WAITING LIST FOR INFORMATION, RESOURCES & FIRST ACCESS!

Welcome! There is an exciting journey ahead.

I imagine you’re here because:

As a teacher, you have a deep desire to honour the tradition of yoga but also recognise that, as modern yogis with modern lives, tradition needs to be shared in a way that feels lively and relevant.
You have integrity and, because of this, you’re committed to both knowing the theory and living the practice. Your strong sense of personal responsibility extends to your teaching practice as well as your studentship.
As a teacher, you have a deep and genuine level of care for your students, which means you’re ready to invest in a training that grows your capacity to serve them.

You don’t want to be the kind of teacher who has ‘people who come to class’.
You want to be the kind of teacher with dedicated students and the capacity to support them long-term.
So, how can you do this?

Hey, I'm Karina

I’m a yoga teacher, teacher trainer, mentor and coach and I’ve spent the last 10 years serving (over a thousand) yogis, like you, who’ve reached the point where they’re ready to move beyond the superficial.

I’ve studied yoga both inside and outside of traditional settings and what I’ve learned from those experiences is…

Tradition is sublime. Its depth is unparalleled in any other field I’ve encountered. If you haven’t experienced it yet, it’s impossible to know its magic. Often, though, tradition is presented in a way that feels dry or irrelevant.

Modern yoga is playful and leaves room for innovation, but we cannot truly innovate without first understanding the tradition where innovating from.

For this reason, my intention behind the training is two-fold: to ground you in tradition in a way that feels lively as a contemporary yogi, and to give you the skills to teach that tradition in a way that has integrity but also meets the moment by honouring the creative spark inside of you.

Yoga is a personal development methodology and spiritual technology that has the power to change lives. If your abiding desire to steward of this kind of change in yourself, for your students, and for the industry itself, then this training is for you.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE READY?

You’ve already completed a 200h Yoga Teacher Training Program (a pre-requisite for entry into this program). You’ve realised, from that experience, that 200h trainings barely scratch the surface. You’re ready to dive deeply into yoga’s potential, and yours.

You’re seeking to deepen your relationship with asana and advance your ability to teach it. You want to expand the range of techniques in your toolbox, including your understanding of what they do, and when and how to apply them.

You’re ready to explore yoga beyond the asana by deepening your understanding of, and ability to teach, yoga nidra, mantra, meditation and philosophy. You understand that this will help you take the leap from studio teacher to facilitator of your own retreats, workshops and trainings.

You understand that, to transmit teachings from an authentic place, you have to deepen your relationship with your own practice first. This is what allows you to attract students who can feel the truth of what you offer.

PICTURE A FUTURE VERSION OF YOU….

You’re reaping the benefits of your commitment to practice. You can see how your dedicated studentship was the key to transforming your life and turning you into an impactful teacher.

You know yoga inside out (not just intellectually, but from a place of lived experience). You understand the theory but also follow your intuition. The combination of both allows you to teach from a place of self-trust, authenticity and authority.

Your grounding in tradition differentiates – and elevates - you as a teacher.

You feel confident as you grow into the next stage of your teaching journey because your toolbox has expanded, and your personal experience with those tools allows you to trust in your capacity to offer them to others.

EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

This 300h Online Yoga Teacher Training will be a brave and innovative space inside which you can grow your practice, build your confidence in your capacity and expand your reach as a teacher.

It will give you opportunities for direct experience, spark your intellect and teach you to balance the need for both discipline and devotion.

300 hours | 10 months | 10 modules

"Karina is my compass in this very confusing yoga world. I live on the other side of the world but she has always been there when I needed her.

It is amazing to have a teacher who is so knowledgeable and also has an amazing way of sharing her knowledge. She never uses mystical language to create an illusion of ‘yogicness’. She is a genuine yogi, walking her path, continuously questioning and expanding.

I am very proud to be trained by her and I am still seeking ways to learn from her."

ZEYNEP, TURKEY

"I’ve never experienced classes with more depth and wisdom. One of my favourite things about her teaching might be her gift to put sensations that are normally hard to describe into words. I used to call it Karina’s ability to “paint pictures with words“, which you can experience not only in her classes and lectures but also in written form online.

I’m very grateful to call Karina my teacher. I highly recommend learning from her. It’ll help you to dig deeper not only in your personal practice or your own way of teaching, but to evolve as a person and in life itself.”

SARAH, GERMANY

"As a teacher, Karina’s attention to detail and intentional teaching style sets her apart, but it is her knowledge, experience, and way of communicating that makes her an incredible trainer and mentor.

Karina is professional, down to earth, funny, and shares the tradition of yoga in a way that is tangible, digestible and relatable. I feel so honoured to learn from someone who demonstrates such integrity as a teacher and as a human being.

Karina embodies the teachings of yoga, which I believe is a true reflection of her own dedication and commitment to practice.

WHEN IT COMES TO COMPREHENSIVE, TRANSFORMATIVE AND EMPOWERING CONTENT THIS PROGRAM IS VALUE-PACKED, INTEGRATING ALL THE LEARNINGS FROM MY CAREER TO DATE.

What’s included

A FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE FORMAT

This 10-month long 300h Online Yoga Teacher Training includes 10 distinct modules of teaching and practice. Learn through a combination of monthly ‘live’ Zoom sessions, pre-recorded lectures, small group mentoring sessions, guided home practices and supporting resources, as well as a live in-person retreat at the end of the course.

BONUS BRIDGING MODULE

In recognition of the fact that we all have different 200h training experiences, you’ll have access to a comprehensive bridging module designed to help you refresh your knowledge and solidify your understanding of foundational concepts before we begin.

ACTIVE SUPPORT

Access to monthly, small group mentoring sessions, where you can ask questions and receive individualised guidance. You will also have an accountability and support partner throughout the training so you never feel like you’re going through it alone.

In addition to this you will have ongoing assessment opportunities. The purpose of this is to ensure you receive regular feedback on your teaching practice and on the progress of your own journey to ensure you feel grounded and confident when it comes time to share the new things you’ve learned.

ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR TEACHERS

The words ‘yoga’ and ‘business’ are tricky bedfellows. How do we make peace with the fact that as teachers, if we want to make a living sharing something we care deeply about, we have to navigate an industry that doesn’t always feel yogic?

How do we make a living without sacrificing our values? How do we come from a place of service and also pay the bills? How do we ensure people know about our classes/courses/workshops without doing it in a way that feels ‘take-y’? This module will help you get clear on your boundaries and values and how to honour both as you navigate the ‘business’ of yoga.

RETREAT

We’ll round out the course with an in-person retreat in a magical destination (tbc) and, if you’re unable to join in person, you’ll be able to stream in online.

PRIVATE COMMUNITY GROUP

Expect to take this journey with a group of yogis from all over the world who, like you, are dedicated, heart-led and motivated. You’ll be supporting each other, and sharing and growing together inside a private community group. You’ll be able to carry this community with you even after our time together is done.

Gosh! Ten months is a long time! Why so long?!
I’m glad you asked. Here’s why:

It’s one thing to hear information and to understand it ‘in theory’. It’s another thing to have integrated that information enough that it a) feels like yours, and b) you feel confident enough to teach it to others.

When we learn new things, we need to experiment with them, practice them enough that they make sense in your body (not just your mind), practice teaching them and receive feedback on that teaching.

I don’t believe we can do all of that properly in a month. That’s why. I want you to leave this training feeling so confident that you know your stuff that you won’t hesitate to offer it to others.

Here's what we’ll be exploring…

VINYASA KRAMA AND ADVANCED SEQUENCING TECHNIQUES

You already know how to design a safe asana class. What’s next? Learn advanced sequencing and meditation techniques (including an exploration of different movements of energy, mudra, bandha, mantra, pranayama, kriya etc). You’ll have opportunities to practice the techniques themselves, to practice teaching those techniques and receive feedback on your teaching practice throughout the course.

AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF KEY YOGIC AND TANTRIC TEXTS

First, we’ll take your understanding of the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and its treatment of the mind and meditation, deeper. We’ll also dive deep into the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, particularly as they relate to dharma and your quest for meaning and purpose. We’ll explore the Devi Mahatmyam, a key text in the Shakta tradition (which celebrates the divine feminine as the key to life and practice). Finally, we’ll unpack the Mandukya Upanishad and explore its relationship with the practice of Yoga Nidra.

THE MAHAVIDYAS AND THE ‘TRADITIONAL TANTRIC’ WORLDVIEW

SANSKRIT AND MANTRA

Explore the language of Sanskrit. Learn to read and write devanāgarī script and be able to read key yoga terms and understand their meaning. Learn proper Sanskrit pronunciation and read and translate simple verses.

In addition to this we will explore the Lalita Sahasranama (a hymn of the thousand names of the goddess Lalita Tripura Sundari). We’ll explore its mythology, its meaning and how it represents key teachings of the Tantric tradition. You will also have the option to learn how to chant it.

YOGA NIDRA AND MEDITATION

Learn the theory and practice of Yoga Nidra, a profound relaxation technique that combines meditation and sleep to access ‘turiya’ (the fourth state of awareness beyond the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states). Learn how to guide students through it and other relaxation practices and experience the benefits of these practices yourself.

We’ll also dive more deeply into meditation. You’ll have the opportunity to explore some advanced techniques. The purpose of this, however, is to support your own journey as a practitioner (you will not learn how to teach these techniques to others).

EMBODIMENT

First, embodiment includes an exploration of who you are as a teacher so you can hone your style and voice. You’ll also have opportunities to reflect on your journey as a student to ensure your life is a shining testament to the teachings you offer to others.

Second, yoga is an embodied practice, which means there’s a vibrant, sensory aspect to what we do. The principles and theories mean nothing if they don’t live inside of you in a way you can actually touch. We’ll make sure you can, so you can teach from that place.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN BY COMPLETING THIS TRAINING…

Confidence in your ability to be an impactful, heart-led teacher who serves with grace and authenticity.

An elevated understanding of the yoga landscape and an expanded vision for yourself and for yoga. You will embodiment the principles over the 10-months (not just understand them intellectually) which will allow you to shine as a unique and transformative teacher.

The support of an international community of yogis who, like you, are committed to ensuring modern yoga is moving forward in a way that has depth and integrity.
