Alanna teaches each student as if they are the only one in the room and there is always room for questions and a safe space to understand concepts.”

“I love the way Alanna Kaivalya approaches yoga. I bought and began the Alchemy of the Chakras course and The Yoga Beyond the Mat course. This took my practice to the next level! Thank you, Alanna, for being you and sharing this with us!”

PRAISE FOR THE MODERN MYSTICS Academy™

“Taking Alanna’s Alchemy of the Chakras course was a most enriching experience. As a yoga teacher and student of yoga, the information I received in this course added a rich dimension to my teaching and personal practice, but most importantly helped deepen my insight into my interpersonal relationships.

This fascinating material is offered in an organized and very digestible fashion through a combination of video, audio and written instruction with a writing exercise which helped me to reflect personally on the impact of what was presented each week.

Alanna’s warmth, intelligence, and passion for this material is clearly evident. She is very encouraging and responsive to inquiries and comments.

I truly feel I received an invaluable tool that will serve me well both personally and professionally.”

Margaret Johnson BSN RYT

“Your research, understanding, and assimilation of the vast and crucial knowledge is apparent in the written word and rings even more true through your voice. Thank you for making it available and accessible to all.

As I learn, I pass the wisdom of the stories and the practices with my beginning students. I am enjoying the deep and satisfying sips…drinking it all in.”

Karen Berdoulay

“I came into this course, The Alchemy of the Chakras, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and the desire for Alanna Kaivalya to play more of a role in my journey. I would like to think that my always strong sense of intuition was simply leading me to something great even though I myself did not fully understand why. What I gained from this course far surpassed whatever expectations I held going into it as it became abundantly clear that I was not simply learning about the chakras. Yes, of course, that was part of it; however, this course went so much deeper than that as I learned about how each chakra affects me on a personal level. Encouraged to take my gaze within, encouraged to go deep, and given the chakras as my guide, thus I started down the path.

Alanna has the course laid out as 7 modules, one for each energy center. Each module was brilliantly constructed, unfolding as though a story, and within each story, I was presented with a multi-faceted look into that particular chakra. Dr. Kaivalya’s language was beautiful, eloquent, thought-provoking, even poetic at times as she introduced me to unfamiliar territory, yet in a fully loving and supportive way. With the full spectrum approach she provided into each chakra, I was given a multitude of ways in which to tap into each one. Whether it was igniting it through a guided chakrasana practice, invoking it through the presiding planet, sending focused energy to it through the performance of a ritual, or simply chanting a Bija mantra, I had every possible tool at my disposal.

For as much information as I was given, it was done in such an approachable way: clear, easily understood, accessible, and overall just allowing for a smooth incorporation into the knowledge base I already have of the chakras and moreover the knowledge base I have of my own self. I found that integrating everything into my own practice and into my own teaching was really quite natural, and I fully credit Dr. Kaivalya with creating the perfect environment in which to absorb the material.The final (and quite possibly best) aspect to The Alchemy of the Chakras course is that it is lead by a teacher who speaks with such passion, authenticity, sincerity, wisdom, and grace that I know I want to follow her guidance.”

PRAISE FOR YOGA BEYOND THE MAT™ COURSE

“I am new to yoga and I find that Alanna’s course is the perfect way to enhance my understanding of the practice. Her way of presenting the information is not only informative but entertaining. I have learned so much already, I cannot wait for next week’s session!”

Deb B.

“Just wanted to let you know the online course with you is pretty amazing. Even though I’ve had a steady sadhana for a decade, to be reminded of the essence is essential. It is very helpful to have a deeper look at the nuances of the practice to better understand and implement it in our lives.”

PRAISE FOR THE ALCHEMICAL ASTROLOGY CERTIFICATION™

“The Alchemical Astrology Certification Program has not only deepened my own understanding of my inner workings, and broadened my yoga practice…I’ve also brought astrology into my yoga teachings, and created a new source of income (and freedom) through astrology! The knowledge I gained through the course helps me to better understand myself and my students. Current movements of the planets (like retrogrades) affects people’s emotions and reactions. To anticipate that, and teach about it, deepens the yoga experience for my students.

If you ask me, I think a better understanding of astrology is a must for every yoga teacher. It teaches you so much about yourself! Of course, the better you understand yourself, the more self-knowledge you possess (through yoga & astrology), and the better you’ll be able to guide students to their own self-knowledge…which is yoga!

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, an astrology enthusiast, or completely new to astrology, this course is perfect for you!”

Author's namePatricia P., Certified Alchemical Astrologer & Instructor of The Kaivalya Yoga Method (500 hr certified)

“Alchemical Astrology is the ultimate experience! This course is clear, concise, easy to follow and layers information in a logical way that continues to reinforce the previous lesson. The one-on-one attention given by Alanna is unparalleled. I’ve learned a tremendous amount about my own self and inner landscape and about how to help others interpret theirs as well! This course gets 5 huge AstroStars!”

Sara M., Certified Alchemical Astrologer & Instructor of The Kaivalya Yoga Method (500 hr certified)

“I have been an avid reader of astrological blog posts and articles for many years. I’ve always been fascinated by the synchronicities between the events in my life and the movement and aspects of the planets as described by the writers of these articles. However, the complicated language and the many moving parts such as the planets, houses, and zodiac have always been very intimidating and overwhelming to me.This 8-week course on astrology gave me a whole new perspective. I am able to understand the language, the concepts of houses, planets and the zodiac, as well as the relationships between these concepts. Instead of feeling overwhelmed when I look at my natal chart, or when I read the blog posts, I feel intrigued and able to understand the writings in a whole new way. This course was jam-packed with information, yet presented in such a way that the concepts could easily be absorbed and digested. I am so glad that I committed to these 8 weeks, delving into the stars and their relationship to me and to my world.

I highly recommend this to any layman or student of astrology, interested in the wisdom of the stars. You will not regret the time (or money) investment! You will come out of it knowing yourself more intimately, and thus be able to relate to the world and others around you in a much more conscious way. Thank you, Alanna!”
