Who is this training for?
For those who feel the call to teach kriya yoga, this training offers the opportunity to dive deep into energetic anatomy and the ancient lineage of yoga and meditation from the Himalayas. Kriyas awaken the mind, body, and spirit, preparing practitioners to meet every part of life with clarity and strength.
Each kriya functions like a yoga recipe—combining breathwork, mudras, bandhas, hatha yoga asana, movement, and mantra in precise ways to create a powerful and intentional result. These practices channel energy, build stamina, and expand capacity to live and move fully, both on the mat and beyond.
Designed for yoga teachers with an existing 200-hour certification, this program provides in-depth tantric teachings on the chakras, pranayama, koshas, mudras, mantra, gunas, and more—equipping teachers with the confidence and grounding to skillfully lead students through these transformative practices.
My journey to Kriya Yoga...
With my fellow trainees in India!
Sometimes I wish I had a more “magical” answer when asked how I found kriya—an inner knowing from childhood, a long family lineage, or a dream revealing my destiny.
But kriya, like all the best things in my life, found me.
Years ago, I was at one of my yoga studios when a friend mentioned she was going to India for advanced training. I can’t remember if she invited me or I invited myself, but I surprised myself by admitting: I wanted to go.
Despite being a studio owner, teacher, and devoted practitioner of (what I thought was) yoga, India hadn’t been on my radar. She had already chosen a school near Rishikesh, and after skimming the website, I noticed they’d be teaching mantra—something I’d never studied formally. The word “kriya” appeared, but I didn’t know what it meant. With Sean’s encouragement, I signed up.
That was that!
No prophetic dreams, no astral guru encounters, nothing earth-shattering on the 48-hour journey to get there. Just me, jet-lagged, unpacking for a month of study.
By the opening ceremony—learning the Tara mantra, floating flowers down the river—I felt a shift. And the next morning, sitting on my mat for our daily two-hour “yoga journey,” I experienced the last moment of my life “before kriya.”
After that, there was only “after kriya.”

By breakfast, something deep within me had changed. I didn’t know what, but I knew I’d never be the same. Since then, I’ve studied with my teacher, Anand, in India and abroad, and fallen in love with the teachings—where kriya techniques aren't practiced in isolation, but woven with asana, flow, mantra, music, dance, breathwork, philosophy, shaking, meditation—whatever the day calls for.
Yet, after years of devoted practice, my path began to feel rigid. I craved a feminine perspective, which led me into Jyotish, the Bhagavad Gita, the Dasha Maha Vidyas, Pancha Maha Bhutas, and beyond—studying with women around the world.
My spiritual path of Kriya Yoga hasn’t changed since that first Yoga Journey, but my approach has evolved—as it should. Today, the way I teach — which I call "The Yoga We Need" — is unlike anyone else’s, because that’s the point: the more we know ourselves, the more unique our teaching becomes.
Although another Himalayan pilgrimage isn’t on the horizon, I now live in what many call the “Himalayas of the Arctic” in Alaska’s Brooks Range — the highest mountain range above the arctic circle in the world. Every day I feel grateful to carry this lineage and share it from such an extraordinary place.

Here's what graduates have to say...
"Simultaneously, I felt exhilarated and exhausted. I instantly wanted more! Practicing Kriya has shown me a path to tap directly into what I need in that moment in a way that practicing asana doesn’t do nearly as quickly or effectively. After receiving the training, it’s hard to feel completely fulfilled in a yoga practice without Kriya in it." — Wendy, 2020
"Afterward I always feel like I’m on a mountain top, filled with a zest for life. If you’ve never done Himalayan Kriya, you are not alone — but it is something you have to experience. It’s like breaking the chains of who you think you should be and the person you are meant to be." — Teagan, 2020
