Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtrasसाधनपाद  Sādhana-Pāda Book 2

अनित्याशुचिदुःखानात्मसु नित्यशुचिसुखात्मख्यातिरविद्या ॥५॥

anityā-aśuci-duḥkha-anātmasu-nitya-śuci-sukha-ātma-khyātir-avidyā ||5||

~ Lack of knowledge is to apprehend the non-eternal, impure, sad [and] non-self as the eternal, pure, happy [and] essential Self ~

By committing to the 500-hour YTTC at Shri Kali, you give yourself the space to step away from the distractions of daily life and fully immerse in the authentic, lived experience of  Kaula Tantra Yoga. This journey is not simply about accumulating knowledge, but about embodying wisdom through direct experience. Traditionalists understand that to become an advanced teacher is not simply a matter of collecting and repeating information. You can only share what you have truly attained yourself. Over twelve transformative weeks, you will deepen your connection to yourself and others, while developing a more nuanced understanding of our system. Building on the foundation of your previous 200-hour training, you will refine your path and align with your interests.

This All-inclusive Immersive Experience Includes:

  • Yoga Alliance® 500h Registered Yoga Teacher™ qualification

  • Daily energy culturing āsana practice designed to balance the doṣas (vata,  pitta and kapha)

  • Regular prāṇāyāma, bandhas and vyāyāma (supportive practice), and other yoga practices

  • Daily āyurvedic walking massage instruction and guided practice (both giving and receiving)

  • Introduction to Sanskrit: to familiarize yourself with the language system of Tantra and Yoga, which is foundational for Tantric studies

  • Satsaṅgs / lectures covering many topics such as psychology and sociology (to better understand oneself and others); spiritual cultures of the world; traditional and modern perspectives on Tantra and Yoga; Kashmiri Shaivism (Trika) philosophy and kuṇḍalinī; yogic lifestyle and ethics, āsana theory, anatomy, physiology, and teaching methodology;  tools for self-inquiry such as Nonviolent Communication (NVC) 

  • Twelve weeks intensive study, including seven weeks of morning teaching practicum, rest days every three to four days, and a two-week break between the 200-hour and 300-hour modules

  • Comfortable Accommodation and Balanced Tridoṣa meals five days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays are holidays)

Shri Kali Ashram was inspired by Shri Ma Kristina, who was deeply impressed with Bhagavan Shanmukha’s knowledge of Tantra and the secret traditions (rahasya sampradāya). She realized that unless steps were taken to preserve this knowledge, the traditional outlook on the science and culture of Tantra would be lost. Moved by this insight, she supported and inspired Bhagavan to establish Shri Kali Ashram.

May the blessings from studying within a genuine lineage / paramparā be bestowed upon all who study at Shri Kali / Sva-Tantra Ashram. This site would not be possible without the love, dedication and sincerity of Toma Ivanauskaite Devī and Dr. Torsten Beck.
