SKYLIGHT YOGA offers a diverse range of Yoga Teacher Training and Certification opportunities for beginners and more experienced practitioners and teachers. Dubbed as the "Harvard of Yoga Schools," we uphold the highest educational standards for Yoga Teaching worldwide. SKYLIGHT YOGA internationally-recognized Courses, Certifications, and Training are held in our Miami Beach Ashram and around the planet in tranquil, pure, and spiritually charged locations that are ideally suited for the sincere practice and study of Yoga. In the SKYLIGHT YOGA Teacher Training Certification, you will come face-to-face with the fundamentals and complexities of this ancient art and spiritual science in its purest, essential, and sacred form.
Our courses and programs cover a wide range—for those who are just beginning on the spiritual path of Yoga practice [TTC] to more specialized and intensive programs for those who are seeking to advance their knowledge and teaching [ATTC]. Our courses are not only ideal for those of you wanting to inspire others by teaching Yoga but also for those who want to scale the heights of Yogic wisdom more rapidly and with greater ease. We also offer ongoing training, continuing education, and comprehensive private instruction.
SKYLIGHT YOGA embraces the tradition of the one, classical and integrative Yoga in which the practice is holistic and the spiritual wisdom has been passed in an unbroken relationship from Guru to Shishya for many thousands of years. As a result, we offer a truly unparalleled education as well as a direct connection to a profound, ancient, and ever-living lineage. SKYLIGHT YOGA upholds Yoga Vedanta, an all-encompassing integration of Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Jnana Yoga - also known as "Integral Yoga" complete as the original, integrated essence and expression of Yoga, which was and forever will be known as simply, "Yoga."
Our programs are an intuitive combination of many years of experience, lifetimes of wisdom, and multiple thousands of hours of teaching practice by direct realization; advanced study and understanding of all the authoritative, central and peripheral Yoga scriptures; focused and intimate training with senior teachers and various cutting-edge technologies; constant and repeated effort in concentration, meditation and Samadhi; and the direct guidance and blessing of the Genius of Yoga, Self-Realized Sage and Living Master of Yoga, His Holiness Pujyatman Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda. SKYLIGHT YOGA Teacher Training is the perfect match for sincere Yoga aspirants looking to refine and sharpen their practice as well as for current teachers who want to develop their teaching skill set beyond the scope of asana and into the more transformative practices of Yoga. Blessings for peace, health, prosperity, and enlightenment for all of you!
Strengthen your foundations in Yoga, or teach Yoga with knowledge, skill, and mastery. The 333pg SKYLIGHT YOGA Teachers' Manual compiled and written by Sri Sudarshan, serves as the structure of all Yogic pursuits - from bondage to liberation, from ignorance to knowledge. Being in a committed relationship with Yoga and its truly enlightened masters, SKYLIGHT YOGA's standards of Yoga Teacher Training Certification are kept high and far exceed what is normally expected or required of regular 'cookie-cutter' programs; because our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Certification, 300hr Yoga Training Certification, and total 500hr Yoga Certification are one continuous initiation into carrying on the torch of Yoga for all of humankind. Therefore, the SKYLIGHT YOGA School and all Yoga teachings and certifications exist to supply greater awareness, clarity, and integrity in your life; to create lasting transformation for others; to understand the 'what, why, and how' of Yoga; and most importantly, attaining the highest goal of every soul, Self-Realization!
"Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom. It will never be forgotten."
- DAWN H.
INTENTION IS ATTENTION
Our motivation, "Attention," means that it is important to pay close attention to the way that life is happening around you. Recognize and understand the past stories that you may be holding onto and that are preventing you from being fully awake and present in this moment. By releasing preconceived ideas, notions and fear-based beliefs, you are able to step forward into the light of pure wisdom, shine to your fullest potential and radiate that light back to others. Attention implies a deeper awareness of life.
Our method, "Learning Yoga By Living Yoga," means providing practical and living experiences of the teachings of Yoga. We practice Yoga to achieve Yoga! Yoga is both the path and destination. By applying the integrative approach of Yoga practices in day-to-day life, the teachings truly come alive for each of us uniquely and powerfully - informing how we serve, love, meditate and realize.
LEARN BY LIVING YOGA
Our message, "Ancient Way, Modern Day," means maintaining the purity and essence of Yoga and acknowledging that we are participating in the evolution of Yoga - both an ancient and living practice. Steeped in the ancient and profound wisdom of classical Yoga and its modern applications, we provide the tools for skill-in-action and conscious leadership in today’s world. It is our greatest responsibility to share Yoga's teachings with you in the most authentic, supremely graceful, and spiritually profound way in which they were received.
