10 Years of Teaching on Our OM Time: The Kaivalya Yoga Method™

A Bold Idea. A Beautiful Journey.

Ten years ago, we asked a question no one else was asking:

What if yoga teacher training didn’t have to happen in a studio to be powerful, personal, and deeply transformational?

In 2015, The Kaivalya Yoga Method™ (TKYM) answered that question by launching the first comprehensive 500-hour yoga teacher training program—entirely online.

We didn’t follow a trend. We started a movement.

**What Does Kaivalya Mean?**

Kaivalya is a Sanskrit word meaning liberation, spiritual freedom, and ultimate independence.

It’s the state of being completely aligned with your true self—unbound by ego, fear, or outside expectation.

As described in the Wisdom Library’s definition of Kaivalya, it’s the final goal of yoga—a state of absolute freedom and oneness with the self.

At The Kaivalya Yoga Method™, this concept is our foundation.
We don’t just teach yoga—we guide students to embody yoga, and to teach from a place of authenticity, inner freedom, and soul alignment.

Because real yoga starts within.

The Beginning: Changing the Rules

Before Zoom was mainstream, before online learning was widely accepted, TKYM was quietly building something revolutionary.

We saw what wasn’t working:

Teachers leaving 200-hour teacher training programs unsure of how to teach
High tuition, travel, and life logistics keeping people from pursuing their path
Studios prioritizing performance over purpose

So we created something that didn’t exist.

An advanced, academically grounded, spiritually rich yoga education—online, accessible, and full of heart.

How We’ve Evolved Over the Years

The world has changed—and so have we.

Over the past decade, we’ve continued to refine, deepen, and expand our training. We listened closely to what our students needed—more connection, more flexibility, more support—and responded with:

✨ More individualized mentorship and real-time feedback
✨ Live breakout sessions and community circles
✨ Expanded content on sequencing, business, philosophy, and subtle body
✨ A virtual campus that actually feels like a sacred space

We didn’t just keep up—we kept growing.
Because when you grow, we grow.

What Made It Different (Then and Now)

From day one, TKYM was more than a certification. It was a calling.

We built our program around things that matter:

A deep curriculum rooted in philosophy, anatomy, mythology, and business
Real mentorship from real humans who give real feedback
A flexible path that meets people where they are—in their lives, bodies, and journeys
A belief that authenticity > perfection

We also knew something important: you don’t have to be in the same room to be in sacred community.

The Ripple Effect

Since that first launch, thousands of students from around the world have joined us—from shift workers to full-time parents, from seasoned yogis to beginners answering their inner call.

Our graduates:

Teach in studios, online, and in their living rooms
Blend yoga with reiki, astrology, coaching, and storytelling
Lead retreats, open wellness businesses, and inspire healing in their communities
Redefine what it means to be a modern mystic and spiritual teacher

And we still get goosebumps every time someone says:

“This training changed my life.”
