Happy Place
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Led by Jackie Anderson. Program highlights:
- Advanced asana, assists, and energy-based alignment
- Nervous system-based breathwork and trauma-sensitive sequencing
- Sacred ritual, meditation, mantra and mysticism
- Sound, breath, fascia, chakras, and the subtle body
- Business of yoga, retreat planning, and embodied leadership
The training is built on a lineage of Hatha, Vinyasa and Bhakti Yoga, with contemporary somatic science, trauma-informed approaches and heart-centered philosophy. It is intentionally intimate, with a maximum ratio of 1 teacher to 10 students, so each trainee gets personal mentorship. You'll learn to sequence skillfully, cue with clarity and compassion, and hold inclusive, trauma-sensitive space, drawing on the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, anatomy and physiology, and the subtle body.

From our graduates
“I graduated from my first yoga teacher training at Kula in 2015. Since, I’ve taken many teacher trainings, and taught some trainings and accumulated thousands of classroom teaching hours in our magical Kula community. I have always been grateful that I took that first training at the Kula— it was the beginning of a journey that has only unfolded beautifully for me since.”
“I went through Kula Yoga’s Happy Place Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2019, which was truly life-changing for me. The training gave me the tools to deepen my own personal practice and the confidence to share yoga with others.”
