“Om Mani Padme Hum” 
the jewel in the lotus


This sacred mantra speaks to the heart of our spiritual journey: the awakening of wisdom, compassion, and truth from within the depths of our human experience.

The Jewel of the Lotus is not just a teacher training—it is a sacred pilgrimage into the inner sanctum of yoga. Designed for those who have already begun walking the path, this 300-hour advanced training is a profound immersion into the soul of yoga: a space where knowledge becomes wisdom, practice becomes devotion, and teaching becomes transmission.

Rooted in the rich traditions of classical yoga and infused with the light of modern spiritual inquiry, this training invites you to:

  • Deepen your sādhanā (personal practice) through asana, prānāyāma, meditation, mantra, mudra, and kriya

  • Explore the mystical wisdom of yogic philosophy, Tantra, and sacred texts such as the Bhagavad Gītā, Yoga Sūtras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Upanishads

  • Refine your teaching voice with advanced methodology, energetics of teaching, and the art of holding sacred space

  • Awaken the heart through Bhakti yoga, devotional practices, and sacred sound

  • Integrate shadow and light with inner work, emotional alchemy, and the psychology of transformation

  • Remember who you truly are—not just a teacher of yoga, but a vessel for truth, a bearer of light

Held in a container of intentional community, spiritual discipline, and reverence, 
The Jewel of the Lotus is an invitation to dive deeper than ever before. Whether your soul is calling you to become a more embodied teacher, or simply to remember the sacredness of your own being—this is your path inward.

Emerge radiant. Emerge rooted. 
Emerge as the jewel within the lotus.

This very special program will be intentionally held as a small group experience.
