Alanna K excellent teacher

I am really enjoying studying with Alanna. I am a seasoned practitioner and experienced student, and Alanna brings a deep understanding of the topics she presents. She is forthright in her responses and is not afraid to dig deep. She teaches in a structured way that facilitates learning easily. I am finding information falls into place and my level of understanding the course content is easily attained with her teaching style.

I have only positive things to say about my experience with Alanna Kaivalya.
I have had a very difficult few years and everyone has been extremely supportive.
All the information is easily accessible and clear. I love the spirit behind the training program. I definitely started with a different type of mindset. As I continue to progress in the program I feel how it has helped me to grow as a more spiritual yogi. I feel incredibly blessed to have found them!

I joined the TKYM 500hr yoga teacher…

I joined the TKYM 500hr yoga teacher training in January 2021, but got derailed from my training when I found out I was pregnant the following September. Unfortunately the course timed out before I could finish. Despite this, I was able to contact Alanna directly through the My Campus app and she directed me to one of her colleagues (Meg) who was able to get me back on track with the course, not only picking up where I left off, but at a discounted price for the full year. They have been so amazing with their support and advice and really want to see you succeed in completing the course and becoming a confident, competent teacher.

My experience as a Mystic student.

I was an enrolled student for two courses at alannak.com!! Those we're the Astrology course and the Tarot course. These courses cover all the way from beginner knowledge about the topics, all the way to defining aspects of Astrology and learning in-depth card spreads. Not only did I learn a lot during my time here as a student but Alanna and her team supported me through my process.💕

A good Yoga course for self-motivated learner..

I learnt so much from this six month course. I would recommend this course to whom is reading this review. I will share some of my experiences:
First, I found the price is reasonable, be aware it is in USD, so after exchange rate, the price can be different when it appear on your bank statement.

Second, this course is focused on how to be a teacher, it teaches you Ananomy, breathing techniques, sequence, and business strategies. I wouldn't say it is a course for a complete beginner. The method for planning an hour class is very helpful because it broke all the movement into categories, so it is easy for you to remember..I really like that..

Third, they do have teacher to help you, but mostly through email, I had one live class with a teacher, I didn't get any notification for more classes. The teacher responded my video in a timely manner, and gave me thoughtful comments on my learning journey. If you are a self-learner, then this is for you, but if you needs more human interaction, you might find it is challenge to follow and pass the test..

Overall, it is a positive experience. I am glad I did it!

We are only one week into the program and already the conversation around Yoga and Spirituality has me so excited. At this stage, the thing I am the most grateful for is the access to plethora of certification courses Alanna has to offer!! It’s the complete set of tools for your tool belt as a Spiritual Coach and all around, balanced human being. So grateful for this program!!

Highly recommend Alanna Kaivayla and #TKYM

I have been learning from and following Alanna Kaivayla for a few years now, from her lives on FB and IG to her books podcast and teacher trainings I've gained so much insight and have really deepened my love for yoga. If you've ever wanted to become an instructor or just want to build a daily practice for yourself visit alannak.com

Graduates of 200hr ytt or 300hr ytt are knowledgeable and professional/ethical spiritual leaders who are truly equipped to teach the practice to others.

Excellent training

TKYM 200 HR Yoga Instructor Training. Excellent training! I had always wanted to take a training like this and so glad I found this school. Alanna is a wonderful teacher! Her presentation of the materials were concise and I understood how to present a great class to my students. I am certified in many formats of fitness as an instructor for over 30 years but this has to be THE best I have ever attended! I loved how she explained the modules of the TKYM and her sense of humor! Alanna's program helped me be successful and gave me confidence presenting via videos! I would recommend this program highly. Thank you Alanna!!

Been following Alanna for years … LOVE HER

I’ve read all her books, and been watching her live broadcasts for such a long time…a decade maybe? But, finally took the leap and joined her online yoga program. It was definitely worth it! I’ve always loved her teaching style, but the way she delves into every aspect of yoga in her online program is seriously next level.

I loved working with the mentors, and am actively teaching now – even doing some online classes thanks to her extra business instruction in the course … sooo valuable.

Wonderful Support and On-line Training

I became a yoga teacher 5 years ago while being a full-time homemaker and homeschool parent. I carved out precious time away from my family, which was extremely difficult for me. When I saw that the 500 TKYM was offered online, I was hooked. I signed up immediately, and I"m almost done with the comprehensive work. The online format allowed me to weave in the numerous lessons in a manageable way and left me inspired to continue my craft. Over the past 20 years, I have been a solo practitioner of yoga and meditation. I have enjoyed the community that Alanna and the mentors have created. I am truly blessed to have found this program. I can't wait to graduate and share my knowledge with others.

This Program is Awesome

I want to thank my mentors at The Kaivalya Yoga Method - especially Lisa Theis - for guiding me through this challenging and rewarding journey. This program is truly AWESOME. Everything about it was perfect for me. It really was. I have been recommending it to all my friends who are interested in pursuing their YTT. The assignments, readings, tests, and the asana demonstrations were extremely comprehensive. I learned so much.

I have been on an incredible journey…

I have been on an incredible journey with TKYM learning from a world-class teacher and a well-trained dedicated team in the last six months. I can honestly say that my successful completion of the program didn't happen with hard work alone. I felt motivated in my scholarly pursuit by watching the thoughtfully chosen professional videos and pouring over a vast array of carefully prepared course materials. I have no words to express my gratitude to Alanna for the excellent curriculum she has put together for the online program.

Truly amazing!

Alanna is nothing short of amazing. Her expansive knowledge of yoga asana and philosophy has brought a richness to my understanding of both. Her simple, straightforward approach to the material makes everything accessible, and her passion and readiness to share it makes it a pleasure to learn from her. Both my practice and my teaching have deepened immensely since I started my journey with her, and I look forward eagerly to every new lesson or experience she offers. I really can’t say enough good things about her to do her justice - 10/10 recommend!

So grateful for these teachings!
I’ve wanted to become a yoga teacher for years, and I finally made the leap after seeing one of Alanna’s livestreams. She clearly had a deep knowledge of the material and I was so excited to learn from her. She did not disappoint. There are hundreds of hours of video content, an awesome online community, great live webinars & classes, and it was super easy to get support and get questions answered.

Highly recommend this program!

I was thrilled when I came across this…

I was thrilled when I came across this online option to certify in both the 200 & 500 hour TT program. I have looked into several online options during the pandemic and I wanted the Yoga Alliance seal of approval on the program I was going to commit to. TKYM fit the bill.

Alanna is incredibly knowledgeable. She has a great passion for sharing the roots and practices of yoga. This is more than learning an asana practice, there is the mythology of asanas, chanting of Sanskrit mantras as we learn about the yoga sutras & the Bhagavad Gita, just to name a few. The resources are packed full with so many gems. In this program you can feel Alanna’s passion for yoga and yes, the success of her business.

I have had the experience to work with one of Alanna’s mentor’s Jordyn and she has been very helpful with her feedback on my assignments. I do wish there was a quicker response to the assignments submitted. Mainly, because I like instant gratification, ha!

I am nearing my final test for the 500 hour TT and am so excited to see it in reach!
