How we are different from your average Yoga Teacher Training:

  • Vira Bhava Yoga Trainings are built on the foundation of Sri Vidya Tantric philosophy and stretch beyond the limits of the 8 limbs of Pantanjali.

  • We emphasize the power and capacity of each individual student to develop their own path and voice from which to share yoga, rather than the perfection of asana (postures).

  • What makes VBY unique is our commitment to exploration beyond the physical practice of yoga. Our exceptional faculty practices what they teach, and share their wisdom about how to use asana as a path to Self Discovery, not simply a physical practice. 

  • We encourage you to share and inspire others to broaden their scope of understanding about Yoga and its benefits.

  • Our primary requirements are practice and experience. We value the direct application of the practices and materials over the grades and performance.  (This means you will NEVER FAIL).

  • In our programs you will learn the skills and tools to TRUST the guidance that arises from within.  You will learn how to become YOUR OWN AUTHORITY.

  • At VBY we encourage you to Unlearn everything you thought Yoga was, and embark on a bold exploration of discovering what Yoga is for you.  And we teach you the tools to share those discoveries with others. 

  • Our programs work to show you what’s possible, instead of what is right

  • VBY programs encourage you to explore the content that is offered to deepen your practice, your reflection, and build your capacity.  Openness, a desire to be curious and motivation to explore are the only requirements. 

Whether you choose to do a training because you have discovered that there is more to Yoga than what you are getting in classes, or you want to share the depth of your practice with others, Vira Bhava Yoga Trainings will support you on your journey.
