A Different Kind of Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga as a practice of awareness—lived through movement, nourishment, and the rhythm of daily life, both on and off the mat.

All-inclusive, in-person trainings that weave the living wisdom of yoga with modern science, plant-based cuisine, and immersive community learning.

Our holistic trainings go far beyond asana.

This immersion offers advanced tools and applied wisdom that deepen self-inquiry while strengthening your ability to skillfully hold space for others.

A unique aspect of this program is that 300-hour students learn alongside our 200-hour teacher training cohort for much of the training. This mixed-cohort model reflects a core belief of the yogic path: that depth is not found by moving beyond the fundamentals, but by returning to them with greater awareness, humility, and insight.

Through this shared learning environment, advanced students have the opportunity to revisit essential teachings through a more mature lens while engaging in dedicated 300-hour coursework, mentorship, projects, and applied teaching practice.

Completion of a 200-hour yoga teacher training, through Lakshmi Rising or another recognized school, or equivalent experience, is required for participation.

How this process unfolds

An Immersive Yoga Teacher Training Experience

Many people arrive here at different points in their path—some unsure if they want to become a yoga teacher, others already teaching, and some simply seeking to deepen their understanding of the practice.

They come for different reasons.

  • A desire to deepen their practice.
  • To reconnect with themselves.
  • To refine their teaching or expand their knowledge.
  • To find clarity, healing, or direction.

And what often happens is something unexpected.

  • “A transformative experience filled with love!”

    A transformative experience filled with love! Liz has a very integrative way of teaching, where over time you slowly absorb the information without having to study endlessly. She and Naga created a container filled with love, gratitude, and higher knowledge that I would recommend for anyone’s training, so much so, that when I consider my 300hr training, I will likely return to Lakshmi Rising. The food was fantastic, the accommodation was great, and I have made friends for life at this training. Thank you, Lakshmi Rising!

    Amazing experience of YTT 200 with Liz in the Algarve. The program was intense but it was truly professionally done and well organised with lots of contents. It’s an immersive experience that not only just about yoga but so many other things. The food was fantastic and our group was so kind and supportive. Unforgettable experience!

    I highly recommend Lakshmi Rising and Liz Lindh if you are interested in taking an authentic, insightful, and thorough yoga teacher training. Just this February (2024) I took my 300YTT, and Liz designed and delivered an outstanding program. Her kindness, compassion, generosity, and deeply ingrained knowledge was evident in everything about this training. Liz created an experience of a lifetime, and I am forever grateful. I teach from my heart now–Liz helped me find my voice! Thank you, Liz and Lakshmi Rising team.

  • “It opened new doors for me”

    Silvia Pontarollo 200-hour
    Read full review Close review

    I did my 200 hours YTT with Lakshmi Rising last month, and it was a journey that helped me a lot gaining new perspectives in a difficult time in my life. It opened new doors for me, letting me know my body better, and teaching me to trust it, but also to find the courage to feel discomfort instead of running away from it. I learned a lot about vinyasa yoga, how to sequence a class, and I meditated for the first time. At the start I was dubious, but there were many experience that touched me and helped me to open my heart, such as the conscious dancing meditations and the cacao ceremony. I feel deeply grateful to Liz for allowing this to happen, and I’ll never forget those moments.

    I attended the 200h yoga teacher training in Italy. The program is very well designed, I feel I have a solid foundation and understanding of Yoga. The experience was profound, intensive and transformative. Thank you Liz for transmitting all those knowledges and values with authenticity and compassion. Thank you Naga for the delicious food you cooked everyday for us. I feel nourished physically and spiritually 🙏

    The meals provided by chef Naga were also a thrill to experience. I felt entirely nourished and energized to learn and practice asana. The meal schedule was also based in Ayurveda and felt even more special to sit down to a 3 course menu in the middle of the day with all your new friends. Truly splendid!
