Yoga Beyond the Mat: Making Yoga Your Daily Spiritual Practice from Alanna Kaivalya

Sale page

When we empower ourselves in our practice and commit to a daily sadhana, we knowingly changing our lives and foster our connection with yoga. This allows us more resiliency to handle daily struggles, a more objective perspective on life, a healthier and more integrated body and mind, along with the ability to keep an open heart. In short, we become cool as a cucumber.

To help YOU stay cool, and master your own daily practice and connection with yoga, I have created this comprehensive online course that features:

Hours of rich video content guiding you through essential spiritual practices and lessons
Private Facebook group where we support and trade secrets on our daily rituals
Course workbook to share & take notes within the program
Bonus content to enrich your journey above and beyond the course material!

In this course, I leave nothing out. Like I said, this is the course I wish someone had done for me when I was first starting out. As a result, I’ve brought together all the most essential knowledge and tools to make it easy for you to thrive in your endeavor to connect to yourself and your #yogaeverydamnday.

This program counts as 45 hours of continuing education credits for The Kaivalya Yoga Method. Upon finishing 100% of the course, you receive a certificate of completion.

“I am new to yoga and I find that Alanna’s course is the perfect way to enhance my understanding of the practice. Her way of presenting the information is not only informative but entertaining. I have learned so much already, I cannot wait for next week’s session!” — Deb B.

“Just wanted to let you know the online course with you is pretty amazing. Even though I’ve had a steady sadhana for a decade, to be reminded of the essence is essential.
