An immersive training that explores yoga as a living connection between body, mind, and energy, rooted in practice, healing, and mindful daily living.
Designed for those who want to practice and teach from awareness, sensitivity, and inner clarity, this course moves beyond performance and pressure into a more grounded way of being with yoga.
Yoga as Awareness and Healing
Here, yoga is approached as a process of listening: to the body, the breath, the movement of energy, and the inner state as one integrated system. Practice unfolds in a supportive, focused atmosphere that encourages presence, sensitivity, and honest engagement.
Sessions are dynamic and varied, offering space to explore how physical experience, emotional tone, mental patterns, and energetic flow shape one another. Over time, clarity, steadiness, and inner attunement deepen, along with a stronger sense of vitality and direction.
Healing is not treated as something forced or rushed. It grows through consistent presence and careful attention, and continues into everyday life beyond the training itself.
From this foundation, teaching emerges naturally through direct experience and deep listening, allowing yoga to be shared in an authentic and grounded way.
The training takes place in a traditional yogic ashram surrounded by nature, where simplicity, daily rhythm, and shared practice support integration and depth.
Certification
Graduates receive a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification, qualifying them to teach yoga worldwide, as well as Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 certification.
Who This Training Speaks To:
This training is for people drawn to a deeper way of practicing yoga, one that values awareness, sensitivity, and genuine inner engagement. It speaks to those who want their practice to support clarity, healing, and meaningful change in daily life.
Some participants arrive with the intention to teach. Others come to deepen their own path. Many discover that both naturally meet during the course, as personal practice evolves into the ability to guide others with presence and care.
It is also well suited to those seeking a supportive community where practice can deepen, energy can open, and life can feel more awake, both on and off the mat.
Courses are open to all levels. Many participants, including those with previous trainings, are drawn to Vagabond Temple for an approach that offers depth and insight they have not found elsewhere.
Why This Training is Different
A Way of Practicing and Living Yoga
Listening as the core of practice The training is grounded in listening to the body, the mind, and the energy as one living system. From this quality of attention, healing and conscious growth arise naturally.
Being yoga Physical practice is present and challenging, guided by awareness, clear instructions, and precise adjustments. Yoga is lived from a deeper level of being, not only performed on the mat.
Depth with personal attention in a compassionate space Students often encounter a depth they did not expect, supported by close guidance and a non-judgmental community. Exploration, challenge, and growth are encouraged without pressure or comparison.
Simple yogic living in nature Held in a simple ashram setting, the training supports yogic living beyond formal practice. Daily rhythm, shared responsibility, and time in nature become part of the learning and help integration.
What You Will Study and Practice
An Integrated Path of Practice, Healing, and Teaching
The curriculum weaves together physical practice, energy work, healing, meditation, and theory into one coherent process. Each element supports the others, allowing understanding, sensitivity, and teaching ability to grow side by side.
◈ Body, alignment, and energy Practice combines Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and pranayama. Hatha Yoga emphasizes clear alignment, precise instruction, and thoughtful adjustments, exploring the balance between ease and effort as a foundation for stability and healing. Kundalini Yoga and breathwork support vitality, energy flow, and inner sensitivity.
◈ Healing, Reiki, and holding space Yoga Therapy, somatic work, and Reiki are taught as one integrated field. Reiki is approached as an awareness-based healing practice, where healing unfolds through presence, listening, and sensitivity. The training supports both self-healing and the ability to hold space for others in a grounded and compassionate way, and includes Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 certification.
◈ Meditation Meditation is explored through Buddhist meditation, mantra, visualization, guided awareness, and active meditation. The focus is on cultivating clarity, steadiness, and insight, supporting a calmer and more spacious inner life.
◈ Teaching Skills Teaching develops gradually and practically. Participants work with sequencing, alignment cues, modifications, and guided meditations, while learning how to hold space with presence and confidence. Teaching practice and theory assignments support integration and embodied understanding.
◈ Insightful Talks and Theory These sessions explore yogic wisdom and Eastern philosophy as living teachings rather than abstract ideas. They offer a wider perspective on practice, helping students understand why they practice, how different approaches work, and how to orient themselves on a longer spiritual path.
◈ Living Practice Beyond the Mat The teachings are continually connected to daily life, supporting mindful living, ethical clarity, and alignment between values, actions, and inner awareness.

From Our Students
"I found something at Vagabond Temple, something that was inside me all this time. Kobi and Pazit managed to create a place where you can deepen into your practice, be in peace and still stay connected with your world, in a more balanced way. I spent some time at the Temple 5 years ago, and it still brings the light of that place into my life, it all still resonates to me and comes into my practice. Kobi and Pazit also keep connection with you afterwards, so you can have a very long-lasting effect, you can really feel the support of the community. Highly recommend!"🙏
"Kobi & Pazit enabled me, for the first time in my life to feel unjudged, to be free, to be silly, to dance like nobody is watching, to sing like nobody can hear. I became who I always was but have never acknowledged before. Its challenging don't get me wrong, but then again, nothing worthwhile is easy is it? ... Each yoga lesson, meditation, movement class, and Dharma talk was so very precious. Thank you Vagabond Temple, for everything"
