Let’s Talk.
As a teacher training, the program will give you the tools to present a yoga practice that is adaptable to each individual. It provides the skills required to share the practice and teachings of yoga in a manner that is authentic, inspired, and inclusive.

Participants will learn how to create dynamic asana sequences and thoughtful class themes. They acquire the essential ingredients of yoga mythology and philosophy to deepen their practice. With these skills, students may reach their highest potential as teachers.

Realize, Experience, and Celebrate your Inner Power.
"Inner Power Yoga empowers us as individuals and perpetuates a yoga movement at large. Deeply rooted in Tantra, myth, anatomy, psychology–it is woven together to magically feel BALANCED. I can say with confidence that anyone who undergoes this training leaves with more steadiness and more ease–in their body, yoga practice and teaching as well as in their heart-mind. That to me is a great place to begin as a teacher! Personally speaking, it is also great place to continue as an experienced teacher. Despite teaching for over a decade, I had no idea the Inner Power I was missing until I went through this training and got my dose of Shakti! Gratefully, my life is forever changed."
–G. Fruchey, Fort Wayne IN. 
"Shakti is dedicated to ensuring that students are getting the most well-rounded, in-depth yoga education and ensures that each student is empowered and shining from their own light within. A transformation should not be expected...it is simply inevitable. Even if you do not desire to become a yoga teacher this teacher training is invaluable in deepening your personal practice and understanding of yoga at its roots. This education program takes each individual on a personalized journey of realizing their true nature in every moment, on and off the yoga mat."
— J. Allen, Buena Vista CO.
""To me Inner Power Yoga Education means unlocking what has been there the whole time. Our inner power is innate to us. We have it all, we just need the tools to be open to that..." 
–D. Pedersen, Ubud Bali
"Studying under Shakti was an amazing spiritual awakening! She is the most studied individual I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She empowered each of us to find our own path as an instructor by educating us with science-based information. I am more then prepared to lead others to the wonderful path of yoga!"
–T. Morick, Angola IN.
