Raja Yoga Philosophy & Yoga Teacher Training Certification


This college program offers a rare opportunity to experience an in-depth study of Raja Yoga Philosophy  and also become a certified Yoga Teacher while attending a California certified college.    This certificate program is unique for a number of reasons:

  •  Full participation in a 9-month residential program located in the heart of a working yoga community and meditation retreat (since 1968), where students live and study alongside community residents and faculty members.  Residence in the college community includes many opportunities to participate in community life, such as morning meditations; organic gardening (the college grows some of its own food); off-the-grid facility operated by solar, wind and generator;  kirtans (music & chanting);  a drug & alcohol free environment;  kitchen “seva” (service) and three delicious vegetarian meals a day.
  • The Yoga Teacher certificate from Ananda College of Living Wisdom not only teaches in-depth hatha yoga postures, it signifies a teacher who has completed a comprehensive training program that meets or exceeds the requirements of Yoga Alliance, the national accrediting organization for professional yoga teachers.
  • In addition to Yoga Teacher Training, students will immerse themselves in learning the philosophy of yoga, which is known as Raja Yoga.  This includes all main branches of yoga: bhakti (heart) yoga, gyana (wisdom) yoga, karma (service) yoga, and meditation.  At Ananda College of Living Wisdom, we specialize in helping students gain wisdom for living.  This means that students gain more than intellectual knowledge—they gain the experiential knowledge and life skills to help them become successful adults.
