This program is structured around the chakra system as a sacred framework for personal growth and advanced teaching methodology.

You’ll step into a lineage of radical integrity, unapologetic presence, and embodied wisdom.

Start your next evolution as a teacher, leader, and healer.

What Makes DDY’s Training Different?

We teach yoga as a living tradition — not a fitness trend.
This training honors the Eight Limbs of Yoga, sacred lineages, and the ethical responsibility of modern teachers. We integrate mantra, meditation, pranayama, ritual, storytelling, anatomy, and intelligent sequencing — all grounded in the energy of the chakras.

✔️ No watered-down asana.
✔️ No colonial mindset.
✔️ Just depth, fire, and true leadership.

Each training weekend is anchored in the energy of a specific chakra — guiding your study through a layered, energetic progression.

You’ll explore:

  • Advanced teaching skills: sequencing, cueing, assisting, and theming

  • Philosophy + energetics: Yoga Sutras, Gita, mantra, mythology, pranayama

  • Leadership + impact: social justice, facilitation, ethics, and voice

  • Ritual + rest: storytelling, ceremony, Yoga Nidra, restorative, and more

This structure supports real transformation — not just new skills, but a new way of living and leading.
