One Bhakthi Teacher Training
We invite you on a journey like no other. We will give you our full heart on our training and share with you our many combined years of living yoga. Covering the depths of yoga history, exciting philosophical topics and their application in the modern world, understanding of the body on the muscular, skeletal, neural and fascial level & of course into the soulful art of teaching. Our days will be spent together at One Bhakthi, a conscious collective community haven in the heart of Kathaluwa, Sri Lanka. Co-created from the heart that elevates wisdom and education from the application of study, devotion, embodiment of living yoga.
To step into any training requires commitment and dedication, what reveals on the other side is a realm of a deeper knowing and understanding of who you are and who you are becoming.We honour tradition while integrating modern lifestyle supported by research.
About the Training
Our unique training format will evoke deep personal & spiritual transformation and help you deepen in the path of yoga. Many students are curious and join the training not to teach, rather to deepen their practice and transition into a new phase of their life.
One Bhakthi Teaching Training is for dedicated students who are looking to become teachers or for those who want to deepen their understanding of the practice.
Our role as facilitators is to create an authentic space where everyone connects and feels comfortable bringing their truest self. Our Yoga philosophy is about living authentically from your heart and breathing in a sense of inner peace, from that peace radiating it outwards near, far and beyond. From this space, true yoga begins.
From our hearts to yours
