Your Next Stage In Yoga...
The 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training built for those who want true mastery––as a practitioner or teacher––hundreds of lessons across eight courses and more than four decades of wisdom distilled into one extraordinary, life-changing journey.
Why Are So Many Certified Yoga Teachers Not Exceptional?
The current landscape is full of teacher trainings.
What they fail to provide is the depth, applied philosophy, and transformative experience necessary to develop truly exceptional teachers. You can collect certifications––or you can build the kind of understanding, skill, and presence that draws students back to you as a valued resource for life.
Knowledge Without Experience
Too often, yoga trainings present theory and practice as separate tracks––leaving students to bridge that gap on their own. What's missing is the subtle wisdom that connects knowledge to direct experience––the understanding that transforms information into genuine insight and the capacity to teach with authority.
Completion-Driven Learning
Designed to get you to the finish line rather than transform you along the way––where completion is the goal and genuine integration is left to chance. A certificate is not the same as capability. Students know that difference the moment you step in front of them to lead a class.
Â
Philosophy Without Transmission
Presenting philosophy is not the same as transmitting it. Real transmission requires assimilation, accumulated experiences that gradually build and ripen. This is how a teacher evolves their capacity to bring ancient wisdom to the present in a way that genuinely lands in the hearts and minds of students.

A Different Standard
Methodical, Structured, and Rooted in Mastery
Long before the Yoga Alliance existed and defined the standards of yoga teacher training, Rod was deep in discipleship with master teachers––forging the living foundation that this program is built upon. Decades later, he would help shape those very standards. Over his lifetime of practice, teaching, and transmission he has shaped some of the most respected yoga educators in the world.
But this training goes beyond credentials. Most people arrive assuming they already know what yoga is. It doesn't take long before a very different experience begins to emerge––one that reveals, often for the first time, what yoga is truly capable of.
This is not content to consume––it is methodology to embody.
- Yoga Alliance Standards Architect Rod helped define what teacher training means––he then built a program that exceeds it.
- Four Decades of Direct Transmission Rooted in discipleship with lineage-based master teachers and refined through nearly 50 years of devoted practice––this is knowledge that has been lived, not merely studied.
- A Lifetime of Teaching, Distilled Having mentored thousands of students and hundreds of teachers––and led trainings, workshops, and retreats across the globe––Rod brings the full depth of that experience to every lesson, every sequence, and every concept he shares.
- A Carefully Architected Path Every module builds deliberately on the last. Nothing is taught in isolation. The progression is intentional––designed to ensure that knowledge becomes understanding, and understanding becomes the capacity to teach with genuine authority.
The Architecture of Mastery
Three structural elements that distinguish fully embodied wisdom from passive content consumption.
Â
Masterful Progression
Each module methodically builds upon the last––ensuring that your understanding develops stage by stage, creating a learning experience that continues to grow in depth and meaning over time, and so will your capacity to share it.Â
Â
Knowledge Embodied
Prompts for self-reflection and integration, teaching practicums, and quizzes ensure that knowledge doesn't just pass through you––it becomes part of how you think, teach, and practice.
Â
Integrated Wisdom
Philosophy, pranayama, asana, and meditation taught as interconnected disciplines can be a gateway to what lies beyond the body. Moreover, when woven together, the techniques of yoga, informed by time-tested principles unlock dimensions of practice, and the practitioner, that no single thread can access alone.
From Those Who've Done the Work
Feedback from teachers who have gone on to become leading voices in the field––across various levels and backgrounds.

It cannot be overstated how deep of an impact that this community and teachings have had on my personal and teaching practice. I've been able to not only gain a more embodied understanding of inner wisdom, but also able to translate some of the more subtle practices and understandings into living a life full of clarity, compassion and service.Â

Rod’s understanding of the yoga tradition and his capacity to pass on the true depth alive in the canon of Tantra, Vedanta, and the Vedas are in a class of their own. Time and again, he delivers the most prolific teachings in the most direct way. Rod makes the complex simple, the simple applicable, and the applicable profound.

Curriculum Overview
Eight Courses. Progressive Depth.
A carefully sequenced journey from subtle body mastery to advanced teaching methodology.
Course 1
Energetics of Sequencing
Of all the courses in the curriculum, none is more likely to transform your teaching than the Energetics of Sequencing. This is a deep dive into the principles that transform teaching from: good to great. Drawing from yoga, tantra, and Ayurveda, you'll learn precisely how every pose, as well as key breathing techniques and various meditation practices affect body, mind, and energy––as well as how to design practices of endless variety for groups and individual students alike.
Course 2
Tantra Shakti
Yoga's deepest promise is not merely balance — it is the full flowering of human potential. In Tantra Shakti you learn to apply the complete spectrum of yogic practice toward that end — deepening your own experience while expanding your capacity to share its breadth with those you teach.
Course 3
Secrets of the Sutra
This course goes beyond the eight limbs to reveal what the Yoga Sutras are truly about: applying the techniques of asana, pranayama and meditation to transform perception. As perception clears, equanimity follows naturally––not as a fleeting state but as an enduring way of being––and you gain the understanding to guide others there as well.
Course 4
Prana ShaktiÂ
The knowledge of prana is ultimately the knowledge of transformation. This course takes you deep into that understanding––showing how movement, breath, and meditation can be applied to shape how you feel, how you think, and who you will become––as a practitioner and as a teacher.
Course 5
Kosha
"The practice is the teacher." Kosha takes this truth to its deepest conclusion, guiding you progressively through the five layers of the self until the authentic self emerges: clear, free, fully present. For many advanced practitioners this is the most profound course in the curriculum––the one that most deeply informs their capacity to lead others toward the same discovery.
Course 6
Yoga Nidra
There is the practice of yoga nidra––and there is the state. This course reveals yoga nidra in its full depth––five aims, five approaches, and the precise keys to unlock its potential as a gateway to the highest states of meditation and awakening. Leaving you not only transformed by the practice but equipped to transmit its deepest possibilities to others. Â
Course 7
Heart Lotus
Through asana, pranayama, meditation, and the sublime teachings of yoga, Vedanta, and Tantra, this course distills the spiritual journey itself––guiding you into ever-deepening realizations. Arriving at the Heart of Yoga, the place where seeker and sought become one, you change not just how you practice but how you live, and elevate your capacity to lead others toward that same discovery.
Course 8
Art & Science of Meditation
Spanning 19 practices––from neuroscience to metaphysics, body-based approaches to practices that heal or transform or open the door to spirit––this course reveals meditation in all its possibility. You'll learn not only how to prescribe the right practice for the specific outcomes, but how different techniques serve the different stages and circumstances of an entire lifetime––for yourself and those you teach.
