Why Kripalu

For more than 50 years, Kripalu has been a leader in yoga education, and for over two decades, we’ve been integrating the wisdom of Ayurveda into our teachings. Our 300-Hour Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher Training brings these two powerful traditions together in a way that is both rooted in ancient tradition and relevant for today.

This advanced training empowers you to expand your skill set with Ayurvedic tools and practices that bring balance to body, mind, and spirit. Guided by experienced faculty, you’ll learn how to design classes and support students with a holistic lens, weaving in seasonal wisdom, lifestyle practices, and Ayurvedic philosophy.

The Kripalu training is designed to be flexible, with modules that can be taken in any order. It is highly recommended that students complete the Foundations of Ayurveda before the Uniting Yoga and Ayurveda module to ensure they have a strong understanding of Ayurveda's core concepts before applying them to yoga. Foundations of Ayurveda and Uniting Yoga and Ayurveda are required and you must also complete an elective of either Teaching Pranayama or Guiding Meditation.

There will be reading assignments to support your learning within the program. The amount of time this reading takes will depend upon the assignment and the individual. There may also be time needed outside of the program session to prepare for your practice teaches.

There is no final written exam. Throughout the training, you will be evaluated verbally and in writing on the material presented. These evaluations are designed to ascertain where you need additional study or support. Your certification is not contingent upon these evaluations. The practice-teach sessions are the determining factor for whether or not a student will graduate. Being able to successfully and safely deliver a complete Kripalu Yoga class to a group of your fellow students is a requirement for certification.
