About Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training RYS200:

You are invited on a life altering journey to embody the path of Self-Mastery, the timeless abundance of Yoga.

This is a calling to evolve.

This 200 hour online Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training is entirely expansive, covering a vast array of yogic techniques, philosophies and styles.

Sakalya is a Sanskrit word meaning holistic, and Sakalya Yoga is an assimilation of compelling ancient Yoga techniques brought to us from the time of the Vedas, combined with dynamic modern practices, mindfully amalgamated to empower the practitioner and provide the ultimate means to Self-Awakening and Self-Empowerment, holistically.

Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training 200 is quite unique.

It is an intensive program that creates the necessary environment and atmosphere for those sincerely walking the path of Self-Realization to experience and explore deeper dimensions of Yoga.

It supports those choosing to walk their dharmic path as vehicles of service to embody and share this wisdom with others on, inspiring them to receive the powerful transformative tools for their own transformation and evolution.

Yoga Sutra 1.1 says "Yoga begins NOW".

And there is no better time to begin a Yoga Teacher Training than when one feels it's calling; the calling to evolve, the calling to wisdom.

This is a unique journey, so extensive in its offerings and curriculum that it surpasses the basic requirements of a Yoga Alliance certified 200 hour program, preparing dynamic influential teachers to powerfully lead through presence, actions, words and through this timeless wisdom.

This is a broad, experiential exploration of the ancient technologies and sciences such as those of Kriya Yoga, Himalayan Kundalini, Pranayama, Vedic Mantra, Mudra practices and applications.

We dive in depth into the teachings of Asana, Anatomy, Alignment and Vinyasa Krama. These aspects of the practice are taught in a way to empower learners to skillfully, effectively and safely guide the physical aspects of a Yoga practice all while maintaining a focus on the energetic as well as the transcendent benefits of the Yogasana.

This is Yoga beyond the physical postures and practices. This training is an opportunity to deepen our practice, to raise our consciousness, our awareness and to live truthfully whether our goal is to teach or simply to lead from a grounded foundation of love, compassion and wisdom.

Registration is now open.

You are the practitioner, you are the teacher, it’s time to reveal the master within.

About Sakalya Yoga:

Sakalya is a Sanskrit word that when directly translated means holistic.

Holistic having two meanings:

1. characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.

2. characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease.

Sakalya Yoga is an integrated, limitless and powerful practice that uses an array of practices from all branches of Yoga, combined and carefully selected to form a life and teachers' toolbox so profound as to prepare the student for ascension physically, mentally and spiritually.

Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training goes beyond the standard Yoga Teacher Training foundations to create a community of empowerment, self expression, self creation and unique individuality.

Beyond a strong foundation, Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training provides a lifelong practice of truth and triumph by empowering each individual to step into their authentic self to live a life of truth, as well as becoming a well equipped, knowledgeable, experienced teacher.

Sakalya Yoga is founded on inclusivity and compassion and teaches a student that the greatest teacher is the teacher open to all, one who is kind, humble and non-judgemental. Sakalya Yoga is a Yoga practice, a Teacher Training and a way of life.

Sakalya Yoga goes deep into practices that invoke an undisturbed, well centred being. It goes well beyond the physical practice, to create a shift in ones energy and teach an understanding of how to mange it.

It is an all-encompassing, elevating experience that dives deep into the unbound wisdom, and limitless capabilities of the student to unite the mind, body and spirit.

A Sakalya Yoga practice will bring you on an exciting inward exploration, using an array of ancient and modern yoga techniques, that include Asana (yoga postures), Meditation (a precise technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness), Mudra (fingers postures), Mantra (a repeated sound, word or phrase that holds energetic powers) and Kriya (a technique or action that leads to liberation).

Kriya removes energetic blocks, increases energy and balances the nervous system. It is a powerful practice in itself used to transcend old and repetitive patterns of the mind and body, while Pranayama (breath control, means "life force") helps to implement and ignite vitality, while balancing the energetic fluctuations of the specific individual.

Combining the use of all these practices not only illuminates the spirit but also calms the nervous system, balances the glandular system, stimulates the pituitary and pineal glands, strengthens the immune system, increases flexibility of spine and helps to eliminate stress, anger, frustration and depression, leaving you open to transcend all that doesn't serve your human and spiritual potential.

There is always a strong focus on balance; the presence of Sun and Moon, Masculine and Feminine, the Yin and the Yang instill a sense of ease and stable sense of wellbeing throughout the practice while keeping a strong focus on breath control.

A Sakalya Yoga practice teaches and encourages alignment while allowing the individual to experience movement and stillness through their own unique expression without sacrificing safety. Students are encouraged to develop self-awareness, to practice individual responsibility and personal practice advice is always readily available in all Sakalya Yoga practices.

Sakalya Yoga is a practice so profound, so incredibly unique that it will seize the moment to create an environment where students can open their hearts and leave inspired and energized. It is an immensely joyous practice without expectation and free of all judgment. Each practice is for all beings, all ages and all levels arriving in full willingness.

Sakalya Yoga is an instrument of self-love, of holistic wellbeing and a way of life.

GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS

“I can say that the training could not have come at a better time and as challenging as life was at the time, and continues to be, the tools I have learned have changed my state and my perspective and continue to do so. The quality of teaching was top shelf. I am not the best at expressing myself through words, but it was one of the best and most life changing experiences I have had. 

....and I have had a lot!!!”

“Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training came into my life just when I needed it most. At first, I wasn’t sure I could handle the extra workload but as I went through the training it became apparent that the techniques and practices were just what I needed to move through the challenges I was dealing with in my life. I initially signed up for the training for personal development but have slowly begun to share these powerful practices with others. I appreciated the way Sylvie, Meera and Prema taught because it was so much more than asana! They really incorporated the wisdom of yoga into everything we learned and that helped me understand the practices in a way I could embody them. If you’re looking for more than an asana training and you’re ready to delve into something meaningful and transformative; this training is for you. Another powerful part of the healing journey that was this training was the connections forged with the other students. I appreciate the space the teachers gave us so we could bond, learn from each other, and feel supported throughout the process.”

“In 2018, I walked into Crystal Tree Yoga and met with Sylvie, and I never expected that meeting to change my entire life. From that point I started practicing Sakalya Yoga with her, attempting to attend any class I could. When I fell in love with the practice, and I started to see the changes in my day-to-day life I knew this was something different and that I had to know more about it. I felt more confident, empowered, unmeasurable self-worth and zero self-doubt. I knew that finally I was on the right path, and I wanted to be able to share this powerful practice with others. I asked Sylvie to work with me privately so I could teach my students who were Pre and Post Natal and I worked for 3 years with her learning Kriya, Mudra, and Mantra specifically for this demographic of women. It started to change my students' lives too and it became more and more a part of my life as the years went on. When Sylvie and Meera launched their teaching training last year, I jumped at the opportunity to immerse myself more into the practice. I wanted to learn from these amazing teachers who are so dedicated and inspiring. The journey was real and raw. I grew as a teacher as well as a student, I feel more connected on a deeper level to self. The program was so thorough, and I felt showered with resources, education, and wisdom. If you're looking for something bigger, something more, this is the 200hr training for you. The value of having these wise women as mentors and the extensive training and tools to take with you off your mat is priceless.”

“After training with Sylvie at Crystal Tree Yoga since 2017 and experiencing first-hand the benefits of the practice not only physically, but emotionally and mentally as well; I was excited to hear that they were offering The Sakalya Teacher Training. My purpose for participating was to enhance my own practice, as we had moved to Europe over Covid, and I hadn't been able to find a studio that practiced Kriya that I resonated with.

The training provided by Sylvie, Meera and Prema was very thorough from the training manual, anatomy, and the instruction time; and the ladies' communication on all subjects was excellent.  Even with the time difference I always looked forward to the next online class as I always felt heard and supported through my training journey.

If you are looking for something more in your yoga practice, this training is for you. The nuggets of wisdom are endless, and I am truly grateful for the time and effort that was put into this training. I am also grateful for the community of the other students, as we leaned on each other in times for support and connectiveness; and continue to encourage each other in our daily lives.

The training has given me the tools and confidence to share the practice with other like-minded people who are interested in enriching their lives thru Kriya.”

Sageful Sutras Yoga

"I found exactly what I was looking for in the YTT 200 course offered by Crystal Tree Yoga.  One of the first things I said in sharing with the class was “this is the beginning of the rest of my life”.  It was said without ego, and yet with reverence, grace, and gratitude. I KNEW when I said ‘yes’ and paid the deposit, that the yoga I would be learning would take me far and away from the practice I had been trying since I was 19.  At 41, I was looking for a path that would enhance my parenting, my teaching, and would ground me as society built itself after the climax of the pandemic.  We are still living with those repercussions today, and I am still reaping the benefits of my daily practice and 6 months of learning from sylvie @meerareid, @loriellaschukyoga, .  The first day of Friday evening class was the beginning of the rest of my life.  No Hollywood drama here -- the work, resilience, connections, sacrifice, grit, and relinquishing of ego is HARD.  It’s work every day, in every way.  On behalf of all the incredible ladies who studied together, we all were met with challenges, and literally, our greatest fears. And YET, we were gifted the tools, the fortitude, and the LOVE, to transcend.

Yoga is not a workout, it is not a training, it is even above a practice.  It is a beautiful, transcendent way to live, that allows you all to see life in all its glory, divinity, grace, and messy beauty.  Yoga gifts you with healing tears, the courage to have tough conversations, the steadfastness to say ‘no’ and definitely when to say ‘YES’ to life, and the ability to listen to the quiet intuition inside of yourself.  Yoga didn’t promise me a life of peace, tranquility, and ease, and yet, I have come to value it in all its invitations -- through mudras, pranayama, niyamas and yamas, asana, and Kriya and Laya AND Sufi movements.  I know now this life is more than its roles, responsibilities, strife, and conflict.  YOGA is LIFE, it is SOURCE, and it is an opportunity to CONNECT to all sentient beings with the utmost tenderness, compassion, and love.  I invite you all to benefit from Yoga as I have, through Crystal Tree’s YTT 200 program in September 2023."
