Grateful For The Incredible Mentors
I have studied The Kaivalya Yoga Method for the past few years. I am so grateful for the incredible mentors and overall community. I have completed my 200 hour certification and am close to completing my 500 hour certification. I am going to work within the community at local parks and recreation centers. I also will be incorporating chair yoga into my speaking programs on Health and Wellness.

Loved The In-Depth Knowledge
This program was amazing! Working a full-time job while completing 200 hours of work, The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy made it manageable. The Kaivalya Yoga Method provided in depth knowledge from anatomy, to spiritual courses, and live footage with a student. It was a great balance –no pun intended!

Concise, Informative & Clear
I really enjoyed all the information in the anatomy & alignment sections. I chose this program for the safe sequencing since I deal with students of all ages & levels. Alanna's teaching method is concise, informative & clear. This really helped me hone in my cueing skills. The staff is receptive and prompt at response. The campus hosts new talks every week and is very informative. I am currently signed up for the Upward Facing Business Academy and the Alchemy of the Chakras course, which I will incorporate into my yoga sequences. I plan to use this certification to further my journey into the wellness community & grow a community space with like-minded individuals.

This Flexible Program Fit My Lifestyle
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program was awesome! Being a flexible online program fit my lifestyle and hectic schedule, and it was a fantastic training tool. I loved that I could rewatch the videos, that really helped me solidify the material and if I was ever confused, my mentor was only an email away. The course was very in-depth, and covered a wide range of areas. Alanna truly is the Yoga Doctor and so easy to follow! Thank you for this wonderful experience! Now that I am certified, I plan to add yoga classes to the studios I currently teach at. I feel more confident promoting myself as a Yogi knowing I am certified and learned from one of the best!! Thank you!

Excellent Learning Experience
This was an excellent learning experience; I was already teaching fitness-based yoga in the gym, but this took my training to another level. I learned so much about sequencing and the importance of speaking less and being more concise with my cues. I also enjoyed learning about Prana and the Chakras which was something I really did not know much about before. I plan to teach in person at Crunch where I work now and eventually would like to do online training as well, maybe even start an app one of these days.

Felt The Connection With Mentors
My experience with TKYM was amazing as friends kept asking me about “how you are able to be a yoga instructor by just attending online courses?”. I just told them the truth that this course is very systematic in their modules and they guide you step by step. And yoga is a journey and a process of learning. TKYM modules are so good, because I am really new to this. I have zero knowledge and experience in yoga but after 1 year with TKYM, I would say “not bad” to myself. I am able to articulate and share to friends what yoga is about. I am truly happy, grateful and content with the knowledge, guidance and love I received from all my mentors. Although we are at each corner of the world, I felt the connection with my mentors. I felt supported and loved, as exactly what yoga does to us. My deepest gratitude and thanks to all of you. Namaste

Expanded My Mind
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method was amazing. I’ve been practicing yoga for 4.5 years and I thought I knew enough, but this training has enlightened my knowledge, expanded my mind, and has taught me what I need to know to teach others yoga.
JJosie Mendoza
Enjoyed Every Minute
With an Indian classical dance background, I thought my 200 and 300 (500 hours) level training would be easy, but it was a tough and humbling experience! I enjoyed every minute of it. I found The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program highly stimulating and in line with my style of presenting myths, chakras, and sutras. My mission is to provide everyone with the same breadth of training that they would receive from a boutique Yoga studio but with a more personal touch.

Mentors Provided Excellent Feedback
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy has been great. The mentors responded to my inquiries quickly and provided excellent, helpful feedback. I plan to use my certification to affirm my time and dedication and learning yoga and I intent to share it with others who may benefit from it.
EErica Kelley
I Highly Recommend This Program
I had a very good experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy! Alanna is a wonderful teacher and thoroughly enjoyed each session with her and her class. I felt like I was in class with them. She explained the lessons very clearly and demonstrated (I am a visual learner) and it made it easy to retain the information. I highly recommend this teacher and program to anyone who wants to further their education in Yoga. I also bought a couple of her books and the ones that she recommended. I love learning! Hang it on my wall...lol!! I will bring what I have learned to my classes and will be doing some specialty classes outside of the YMCA. I love working with youth and seniors.
AAnnette Garrison
I Cannot Thank The Mentors Enough!
This course was amazing! I love that it is self-paced and the content was interesting and full of everything I need to encompass being a successful yoga teacher. I am starting my own business on my 20 acre property and I plan on teaching outdoors. I cannot thank all the mentors enough! The feedback was so wonderful and informative, and Alanna is an inspiration! I'm looking forward to being the best yoga teacher I can be.
DDanielle DiMartino
Beautiful Experience
I’ve had a beautiful experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy Program. It has helped me grow physically, mentally and spiritually. I learned so much from this program and I would highly recommend it to others. They have supported me through my entire journey and now that I’m certified I can’t wait to see where I go from here. I’m going to get my 500 hour certification and other programs that they offer.
TTheresa Louth
Appreciated That This Program Is So Hands-On
I began my experience with an open mind and an eagerness to learn! Honestly, I did get overwhelmed with the amount of information provided to me throughout each module but took each lesson as a token of not only education myself to receive a certification but expanding my spirituality. When my journey came to submitting assignments, I had a delightful time really testing my knowledge through video tests.I appreciate the program being so hands on and requiring us to have a student to teach in our assignments as it challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone.
AAleesha Fraser
Excited This Program Was So Accessible
I was excited to find that such an amazing program like The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy was accessible to me online. I live in a small Montana community where yoga certifications are limited to access. When the pandemic locked down in-person learning, my options to get certified were that much more difficult. Thank goodness I came across such an amazing online opportunity to further my yoga journey. Having this certification allows me to build a foundation for continued learning and certifications.
WWendy Miller
Yoga Is So Much More Than Asana
The teaching that I experienced through The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy has been life changing. I appreciate the emphasis on mythology, the origins of yoga and that yoga is so much more than asana.
VValerie Hunsel
Don't Give Up On What Sets Your Soul On Fire!
I took forever to finish this endeavor! Life seemed to always get in the way, or perhaps it was “impostor syndrome.” Don't give up ever on what sets your soul on fire. I am a family nurse practitioner and work with older populations, I plan on using what I have learned to create programs for that population. I want to help them learn to relax and enjoy a more mobile, joyful life.
DDannel Doyle
Grateful for Achieving My Dream
I have loved TKYM program, and am so grateful for all of the education, the inspiration, and the direction to help me achieve this lifelong dream of becoming a yoga teacher. Alanna is so knowledgeable, and teaches concepts in a way that makes it easy to learn. The platform we used was very user friendly and easy to navigate. I loved being able to go through things at my own pace, repeat modules as necessary, and rewind as needed to re-hear something I didn’t quite catch or understand the first time (something you can’t do as easily during in person learning!)
SSusie Leontowicz
Great mentors!
I chose The Kaivalya Yoga Method yoga training program because I could work at my own pace with great mentors, and the amount of information available is AMAZING!
LLarry Weathers
Spirit-Opening Experience
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy Program has been not only eye opening, but spirit opening. I’ve been practising yoga for 5 years, but I’m just now learning what I truly want my practice to look like. This program showed me that I was in love with something I knew so little about. I'm very thankful for the opportunity and tools this course gave me to guide myself, in finding self love and worth.
DDominick Tremblay
Alanna Is An Inspiration
I am an Australian mother of two located in Adelaide, south Australia and I have recently had a wonderful experience gaining knowledge through my 200Hr yoga certification with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program. Alanna Kaivalya is inspirational in all aspects; I’m so glad that I got to learn from such a grounded and talented individual. Many thanks and I look forward to furthering my knowledge in the near future.
AAnna Krieger
So Incredibly Grateful For This Program
I couldn't be more excited to have completed the 500hr TKYM program, especially after facing some pretty crazy challenges over this past year. I'm so incredibly grateful for this program, as it's pushed me to find confidence in myself and embrace a niche for the first time. I LOVED thee meditation and mantra module, and now provide free and accessible meditations and sound baths in virtual spaces. I'm grateful for the entire TKYM team for keeping this program running and encouraging students like me every step of the way. Alanna was an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and uplifting teacher. I learned so much about leadership and self-confidence from her example, and gained invaluable tools that I can use beyond my mat as I navigate my career. Thanks TKYM Team!
SSamantha Burgett
Love the New Post-Traumatic Growth Module
I like the self-paced study. The topics covered were comprehensive enough and easy to understand. The addition of a new module about Post Traumatic Growth in the 500hr YTT course is very informative. I would like to thank all the mentors and friends who supported me through this experience
LLavanya Sridharan
Great Content & Great Feedback
I loved The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program because not only did it have great content that kept me coming back day after day, but I got to take it in bite size chunks and at my own pace with everything else in my life. When I first purchased the program I was eager to get started and complete it in the 6 month period. As life happens, I found out I was pregnant and devoted less and less time to the program as I planned. But because it was open for completion in a year I was able to take my time and really dive into the material when I had time for it. The lectures were detailed and the assignments were fun and relevant. The coaches were kind and so helpful, always providing great feedback and suggestions.
JJasmine Olivera
So Much Growth!
I’ve grown so much throughout my six month journey with TKYM! I especially appreciated being able to learn at my own pace AND being able to revisit the extensive the curriculum as often as necessary. Thank you to the mentors who provided timely and helpful feedback! I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge, assisting with Yoga classes at Sun City Anthem Henderson, Nevada...where my students will be aged 55+
JJennifer Carlson
Mentors Gave Great Help
I had an incredible experience with the Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program. All of the mentors that I worked with were always quick to answer any of my questions and gave great teaching advice. I plan to teach yoga part time through a community education program.
BBrooke Gruber
Successfully Prepared Me
My name is Rose Manning and I am excited about achieving my 200 hour yoga certification. I have been practicing yoga for about 15 years and feel that I greatly benefit from it in my busy life. I have been trying to find someone to come to our small, old clubhouse and help us practice yoga. It has been a challenge and finally I decided to get certified myself so that we can have yoga classes here regularly. I have enjoyed my experience with the Kaivalya Yoga Method! I believe that they teach sound tenets of the practice of yoga. As a former teacher, I really like how the last few assignments were preparing me to successfully teach the final 60-minuteclass and to continue doing so well into my new future.
RRose Manning
Looking Forward to Continuing My Training
I have been in the 200 hour training program for a while, balancing both the training and my school at CSUMB but I am glad to have completed the 200 hour. I plan to continue my training and continue to my 300 hour training as well. I wrote to Alanna talking a little bit about my confidence. She gave me very important advice and said that “only i know what i am capable of and I shouldn't let the opinions or doubts other others alter how i see myself!” I go by Val and i'm 21(now 22) years old and currently live in Monterey. I recently changed my major Kinesiology. I am hoping to eventually make yoga a sustainable living by the time I graduate, I know it will be difficult. But I am willing to put in the work. If that means working different jobs, or something similar.Once again I know in my heart how right she is.
VVallory Collins
Enjoyed the Flexibility of Online Learning
I really enjoyed the flexibility of online learning with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program. It was easy to understand and an enjoyable experience. I look forward to teaching and evolving as a spiritual leader. I'm excited to practice as much as I can, and try new teaching in new places in new cities and countries.
KKimberly Gilfus
Amazing Journey
It’s been an amazing journey with Alanna and her loving team of mentors. They became my family for an entire year. Thank you so much for facilitating such a positive learning environment! I really enjoyed Alanna’s course and I’m excited to continue my education with her doing more Yoga courses
BBru Ortigosa
Fun & Easy to Follow
My experience with TKYM was fantastic. I started this course after I did not get accepted into a college I had anticipated. I did not want to feel unmotivated, so I signed up the next day. This program not only brought me to my mat frequently, but it also kept me learning. The platform used is so easy to learn, and it is nice to see visually how far a long you are. The material is fun to learn, and for an online program it was easy to follow along and stay attentive
KKristy Wallace
Instructors Are Wonderful
Through The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy I learned anatomy; a few interesting facts like how our muscles only pull—none of them push. I can do yoga without an audiobook or instructor in a class. The instructors in this program are wonderful. They make themselves available and meet you half way when trouble arises. They are such an encouragement! With my certification I’ll be leading classes in both English & Spanish!
HHeather Smith
Self-Pace Allowed Me To Keep Working Full Time
The Kaivalya Yoga Method has allowed me to learn and develop my skills as a yoga teacher while still working a full time career. Although it has taken some time to finish, the material and ease of instruction through the videos have made this possible. With this certification, I plan on continuing to teach where ever possible within my military career, volunteering, or potential part time job while home from sea.
PPatrick Perry
Apprecated All The Feedback
I found the TKYM very thorough with numerous resources to continually learn and reference. I appreciated all the feedback I received and would recommend to anyone interested in teaching yoga.
DDonna Fouch
A Sign From The Universe!
In 2020, life in the nursing field became very stressful and decided it was time to get my yoga teacher license. Thee thought of waking up to teach people to stretch and breathe is much more appealing to me! Kid you not, the very next day after making this my goal, an ad for The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy popped up. It was a sign from the universee! Thee fact it was “work at your own pace” was very appealing to me as my nursing schedule keeps me very busy. Yes, it did take me a little less than 2 years to complete this program, but that's okay! I am very pleaseed with my education throughout this program! Not only did this program strengthen my own practice but I now feel confident enough to share this practice with others. I plan to start teaching in the Kansas City metro areea and one day open my very own studio.
CCrystal Shelvey
Amazing!
The Kaivalya Yoga Method program is amazing! I am enrolled In the 500 hr program. It has helped me developed a deeper understanding of the practice in so many areas.
KKylie Amante
Built My Confidence
I learned so much about alignment, the body, and my self-confidence through The Kaivalya Yoga Method training. Each video I completed built my confidence in my knowledge.
AAngie Gutekunst
Grateful For This Online Option
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method has been great! I love that it’s at your own pace. I am grateful for this online option to become Yoga certified! I enjoyed learning more about yoga and was able deepen my own Experience and enhance my understanding of poses from the inside out. I have practiced yoga for over 10 years and I wanted to learn more for my own practice and share my Knowledge with others that want and understand the Benefits of working inward and self care! I want to teach others As they get deeper into their practice over the years, you start to see the mental and spiritual benefits.
SStephanie Disse
Very Rewarding Experience
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy has been very rewarding, The knowledge and guidance from the mentors and information in the curriculum was very impressive and allowed me, as a single mom, to be able to accomplish one of my lifetime goals! I want to thank everyone and look forward to continuing through the next series of certification with TKYM.
AAngela Williams
So Happy With The Program
I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 15 years as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I owned a fitness studio for 7 years, (closed in 2019), and offered a variety of classes, including Yoga fusion formats. I’ve always wanted to learn more about Yoga and decided to sign-up for TKYM 500 hour course. I am so happy with the TKYM program. I’ve learned so much, not only about yoga but about myself in the process. The mentors are very helpful and I found the course easy to follow.
CCynthia Florence
Excited To Continue To Grow
My name is Bridget Strama and I just completed the 300 hour course! I love the storytelling aspect of The Kaivalya Yoga Method and plan to use it with both my adult and my children’s classes. I teach in the Greater Baltimore Metro area. I absolutely loved learning new chants for meditation and new ways to theme classes around mythology in this course. This certification brings me to a 500 hour RYT with Yoga Alliance and I’m excited to continue to grow in my field!
BBridget Strama
Support From Mentors Was Excellent
Working in the fitness industry for over 40 years, I have taught and taken many courses. I can honestly say that this course was extremely comprehensive yet easy to follow. The testing components at the end of each module were thorough, and the support from the mentors was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course.
SSusan Manning
I Learned So Much!
I think The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy program was great. I learned so much! Had other exercise certifications but only CorePowerSculpt for Yoga. It expanded my knowledge from the YS Extensions’ class. Her videos and tutors’ online support were formidable! I will teach more, specially for Hispanics and people 50+.
MMelba Stetz
Informative And Profound
I signed up for The Kaivalya Yoga Method because it was self-paced. I loved that the training is broken down into short concise teaching that is informative and profound, and easily digestible. I plan to teach yoga and create a YTT directly aimed to train the Black community and dismantle the myths about yoga in the Christian community.
JJamella Stroud
Challenging And Rewarding Journey
I just received my 300-hour yoga teacher training certification! I first received my 200-hour YTT certification in 2019 and worked in various yoga studios, but when the world went into pandemic lock down, I switched to teaching yoga classes online –Thank you, Zoom! – and the experience has been wonderful. Yoga gave – and continues to give – me and my yogis something positive to look forward to even during our darkest days. In fact, I will continue to teach online in the future, as well as in-person classes at my theatre. I want to thank my mentors at The Kaivalya Yoga Method for guiding me through this challenging and rewarding journey. This program is truly AWESOME. Everything about it was perfect for me. It really was. I have been recommending it to all my friends who are interested in pursuing their YTT. The assignments, readings, tests,and the asana demonstrations were extremely comprehensive. I learned so much.
TToni Ruscio
Best Experience Of My Life
Training with TKYM was the best decision and experience of my life. The mentors were all incredibly helpful and kind, and Alanna is an incredible and inspirational teacher. Through the self-enrichment of the teachings I have grown so much personally, and also professionally, acquiring all of the necessary teaching skills from the detailed knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology, to the in depth asana cueing, providing adjustments, through to philosophy, meditation and professional ethics. This course has enabled me to confidently go straight into the world of yoga, guiding students safely and authentically through their practice both on and off of the mat.
MMelanie McLaren
Given Me Deeper Insight
TKYM has inspired me to create well-rounded and spiritually driven asana practices. It has given me deeper insight into Yogic history and myth, which I will continue to research for the rest of my lif
DDia Gila
Great Experience Learning with Alanna
I live in Canada, but I come originally from Poland. I would love to share the wisdom of yoga wherever my current location is. Nowadays we can support people around the whole world thanks to the internet so knowledge of more languages is always an asset, even if yoga speaks only in one language - practice :) It was a great experience learning about yoga with Alanna, she’s an amazing mentor, the whole program was very encouraging! That’s what I love about it the most. Now I’m craving more, and that’s how it should be after graduating any kind of school. So for me,this yoga program did a great job. Now I feel ready to share what I’ve learned with more people which would like to follow the path of yoga, not only on the mat, but especially- beyond. Daily life is the real yoga practise :D
OOlga Solecka vel Szymanska
Full of Amazing Knowledge
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method was what I made it into, the information, the classes, the mentors, the assignments were thorough and full of amazing knowledge,and I had everything I needed to become a successful yoga teacher and I learned howto manage my time and maximize my efforts to better myself. I am overjoyed with everything that I learned this past year and a half and will continue to take advantage of the continuing education, events and classes offered to me through the program.

Learned More Than Just Poses
HI! My name is Misty Taylor. I will be teaching in the Jacksonville, Fl,and the surrounding cities. I really loved learning with The Kaivalya Yoga Method Academy. Being able to review notes and videos was beneficial for me. This is something that is not available during many in person classes. The fact that I learned more than just poses and flows makes me a more well-rounded teacher I feel. I will be using my certification to help other disabled veterans, like myself, find away to help us through difficult times.
MMisty Taylor
I absolutely LOVED it!
I completed my 200 YTT back in 2015 and just completed my 300 YTT with The Kaivalya Yoga Method! I wasn’t sure how the online training would be, but I absolutely LOVED it. I love the flexibility of working at your own pace and that you can look back at any lesson if you need to review.The mentors where always available with any questions.I Feel that I really got to know Alanna and the mentors over the last 7 months. And Know that I have enhanced my knowledge of the history, chanting, Meditation practices and Yoga myths. As a teacher, I hope to continue to guide my students through full mind-body experience and give them a deeper understanding on YOGA.My students LOVE all the new assists they have been getting. With The Kaivalya Method, I have added an even stronger foundation to my teaching,and I can’t wait to continue learning
LLaura Drumgold
My Teaching Opportunities Snowballed
I started my 200 hour certification, and added the 300 hour in May, because I was interested in the curriculum. When I finished the 200 hour in July, I came into teaching opportunities and it snowballed. To qualify for the Yoga Alliance 500 hour RYT, I need 100 hours, so I have been teaching every chance I can. I finished my 300 hour certification, and just need a few more hours. I have been teaching park-with-a-playground yoga, guest teaching in studios, and teaching a class in a dance studio in my neighborhood. I have an extra passion for making yoga accessible to those who are home with kids, like myself, and The Kaivalya Yoga Method has made that possible in ways I couldn't imagine. I'm so grateful for the chance I took on myself by doing this certification, the people I have already met, and the journey I have been taken on.
KKristi Forsyth
Love the mentors!
The Kaivalya Yoga Method teacher training program is really good and flexible. Easy way to communicate with them and great mentors to guide you through the course.

Highly Recommended!
Going into this I was so scared and didn’t think I could do it, but the Kaivalya Method explained things so well ! I recommend this school to anyone who is considering teaching yoga!!!
CChristy Smith
Rewarding program!
My experience with The Kaivalya Yoga Method training was rewarding. The curriculum was comprehensive and well planned out. Alanna and the mentors were professional and personable. I would suggest this program to anyone wanting to expand his or her yoga knowledge and/or yoga career. If I had to go back, I would take the training again. Thank you.
MMonica Siebert
My Own Time And Pace
I am extremely grateful for The Kaivalya Yoga Method® Teacher Training! I am learning so much and love the flexibility of doing it at my own time and pace! The feedback I get with the assignments and submitting videos is excellent, it even makes me forget it’s all done online. There is a lot of interaction, motivation and the mentors are fast at responding to any of my questions. I highly recommend this course!! I have even heard friends who completed their training elsewhere say they did not cover as much detail as we are. What started off, for me, as just a way to expand my knowledge in Yoga for my personal growth turned into a passion for helping others and was the foundation to furthering my holistic training and start my own sacred business!!
MMelissa De Los Santos
Decoding the Tarot by Alanna Kaivalya is a comprehensive, mystical, fun, and highly informative course about how we can utilize divination in our everyday lives by tapping into the potency of the unconscious, following the pattern of Joseph Campbell’s “Journey of the Hero”.This course is enchanting, very clear and easy to understand for the beginner Tarot practitioner. Alanna’s extensive knowledge in mythology, psychology, astrology and spirituality forms a powerful platform for the student to jump into clearly understanding, decoding and utilizing the Tarot with ease.It was an absolute delight learning the modules, the course is very easy to navigate, and Alanna goes over in great detail about the entire Tarot deck. She mentions throughout the course that “this is not fortune telling, it’s divine information based on the energetic imprint of the individual as we look into their unconscious mind to see what’s active for them”.I highly recommend this course for anybody on their journey, it is a wonderful tool to have as we navigate through the murky waters of the unconscious mind. Having a good understanding of the messages of the Tarot illuminates our paths, based on what’s active for the individual.
