Our 300 Hour Vajra Yoga School course will be held November 11th, 2024 to April 6, 2025.

This is a unique Yoga Alliance Certification program sponsored by Menla and Tibet House US that incorporates the classical yogic inner sciences from India and Tibet to give people the tools to have a better life and share them with others.

This is a unique yoga teacher training that focuses on the intersection between Hatha Yoga & Vajrayana Buddhism. We explore the philosophical and experiential interface between both traditions.

If you are looking for a Yoga Teacher Training course that is non-sectarian and brings in yoga and the meditative sciences from both traditions, this is the course.

Our program is designed to support self-discovery and growth, lasting joy and physical health and happiness. We focus on alignment-based Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Tibetan Healing Yoga, breathing practices, meditation and philosophy from the Buddha and the Yogis & great Mahasiddhas from India and Tibet.

The journey is deeply educational and spiritually transformational, while giving you the practical skills to support other students on their path.

Whether your goal is to teach yoga or deepen your practice, you will find the tools that light your journey.

We recommend students take this course that have already taken our 200 hour school, another 200 hour program, or have been studying yoga and or Buddhism for a few years with a committed practice.

This program is 300 hours of teachings divided into 2 terms. We begin our course November 11th, 2024 with an in-person immersion at Menla Retreat in New York, which can also be live-streamed for those that can’t make it to Menla.

However, we strongly recommend you attend in person.

We will continue meeting weekly to study together over zoom with live-stream asana practices, Q&A & philosophy sessions with the teachers. And we will close our school year with a final in-person retreat at Menla.

In person Retreats at Menla:

November 11-17, 2024 & March 31-April 6th, 2025

Ongoing weekly livestream zoom classes held: Fridays 11-1pm Eastern with Robert Thurman & Saturdays 11-1pm Eastern w/Michele Loew. Classes will be recorded and translated into any
