Lotusland Yoga School 2025

Join program director, Jasmine Tarkeshi and her expert team of passionate Lotusland co-teachers for a 13 weekend immersive course at Lotusland in SF or virtually to where ever you are.

You will deepen your understanding and practice of all eight limbs of yoga and develop a personal Sadhana (a personal daily practice) to live your dharma (your unique purpose or path) with compassion, to be of service to others as a healing agent in our world. Whether you choose to be a Yoga teacher or simply live your yoga as a way of life, this wholistic program will give you the tools for more physical and mental health, peace and joy in the midst of the many challenges we face.

Sequencing and teaching asana, practicing pranayama and leading meditation are all taught interwoven with exploring and practicing yoga’s rich history and teachings on Sanskrit, chakras, mantras and mudras, spiritual texts such as the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. Taught for 25 Years, our training is adapted to support your unique voice and life through yogic lifestyle practices like Ayurveda and taught through the lens of trauma informed yoga, inclusivity and social equity to make yoga accessible to every body.

Through group practice and lectures taught by our inspiring teachers, in-class teaching practice, 1:1 mentorship, self-inquiry, personal practice and homework assignments - you will uncover your unique voice & be empowered to teach if you choose, in an authentic way, aligned with your truest self.

You’ll learn not only yogic tradition and history, postures and alignment, but also how to live your yoga, and apply your new skills in the modern world with devotion to a higher purpose. 

Our training size is intentionally limited to 12 students for us to better support your personal path in a safe space where you will be seen and heard and supported and challenged physically, inspired mentally and awakened spiritually according to your personal needs.

At the 200 hour level you will be physically challenged but advanced postures are not a requirement. Yoga school is open to everyone!
