Chopra Yoga Teaching Mentorship Program
The 10‑week Chopra Yoga Teaching Mentorship is an intimate practicum designed for yoga teachers ready to refine and elevate their practice. Perfect for 200-hour RYT graduates, this small-group experience (capped at 20 participants) provides advanced tools for sequencing, pranayama, theming, restorative yoga, pranayama techniques, Yoga Nidra, and marketing— all taught through live interactive webinars featuring mini practices, breakout teaching sessions, personalized feedback, and live Q&A.
This mentorship bridges the gap between foundational training and confident, authentic teaching. You’ll gain precision in matching sequencing to the doshas, skillfully guide diverse and restorative classes, find your unique voice as an instructor, and learn heart-centered strategies to build your brand and audience.
This mentorship program is for individuals who have already completed a 200-hr RYT training and are looking to deepen and refine their skills. It is not a certification and will not prepare you to teach yoga on its own.

ISHTA Self Marma Training
Marma points are vital energy centers—like “little brains”—that nourish the body’s systems with innate intelligence. When stress accumulates, these points can become constricted, blocking the flow of prana and disrupting equilibrium. The ISHTA Self Marma Training offers a powerful technique to release these energetic blockages through gentle, intentional touch. This training blends ancient wisdom with modern insight to restore clarity, vitality, and harmony in both body and mind.
Over two immersive days, you'll explore the subtle body through the lens of Tantra, anatomy, and the nervous system. This hands-on training empowers you to access your own healing potential and integrate Marma work into your personal practice and teaching. You’ll not only learn to locate and activate Marma points, but also discover the power of touch as a gateway to deep self-connection, stress release, and inspiration. This experience is open to yoga teachers and dedicated students alike who are ready to deepen their practice from the inside out.
