If teaching sacred yoga classes is your dharma and you feel this compelling urge to deepen and reframe the way that you practice and the way that you teach, this speciality course is for you. Dharma Yoga is a graceful, inspiring and empowering form of Hatha Raja yoga developed by Sri Dharma Mittra, one of the oldest living yoga masters of today. In Sanskrit, “Dharma” also refers to your soul purpose, your unique frequency and signature. It´s not so much about what you do, it´s what happens in people when you do what you do.

You´re itching to incorporate the essence of Dharma Yoga into your practice and the classes you teach? Struggling to adapt your practice and teaching to the life stage you´re in? Feeling stagnated and looking for a spark* (you just feel it could all be so much better)? If so, look no further. I got you!
Does this
sound like you?
just imagine…
seriously… visualize this with me for a sec.
-
By learning the Dharma Yoga method, you will not only connect with a beautiful, deep and graceful practice (and learn fun, challenging sequences) but also learn how to orchestrate a similar experience for others.
-
A confident yoga teacher has experience, knows their material well but also embodies their practice on and off the mat. She knows her role in her students´ experience, recognises the honour it is to hold space for others, but also understands she is there simply as a conduit of wisdom. She is a teacher, a mentor, a guide… but she is nobody´s guru. She shows others how to find that guru in themselves.
Likewise, a confident student and practitioner of yoga will understand not just what to do, and how to do it, but why! This course will help you get there. -
This course is about so much more than Dharma Yoga. It´s about discovering and connecting with your own dharma, the reason you step on the mat, your unique teaching style so that you wake up every day knowing exactly how to show up for yourself and others.
-
Whether you are in the maiden, mother, maga or crone season of your life, this course will show you how to work with your lunar cycle but also the natural seasons of your life so that you will never have to feel “divorced” from your yoga like I did. Instead you will be empowered, educated and equipped to embrace these seasons of life and adjust your practice and teaching style to the life stage you´re in.
I´ll share with you everything I wish I knew sooner ❤️

INTRODUCING
the dharma yoga teaching course
an online, self-paced Yoga Alliance accredited training
to help you level up in just 8 weeks…
CORE MODULES
Modules 1-4 are designed to give you a solid foundation in the practice of Dharma Yoga, providing historical context, lineage and a thorough introduction to the Level I, II and III sequences. You will have a course manual, online lessons and videos to practice along with, as well as personal feedback during this training. By the end of this section, you will be equipped to teach Dharma Yoga-inspired classes and cultivate a personal practice for yourself.
-
Module 1: Dharma Yoga 101 & Yoga Philosophy
Everything you need to know about this system of Hatha Raja yoga, as developed by Sri Dharma Mitra.
-
Module 2: Dharma Yoga Sequencing & Asana Practice
Learn the Dharma Yoga Level I, II & III sequence PLUS inspiration for creative sequencing.

Module 3: Teaching Methodology, Tips & Tricks
How to facilitate Dharma Yoga, teach with confidence & create memorable experiences for your students.
-
Module 4: Opening & Closing Practices
Rituals, mantras, music, pranayama & meditation - set the stage for a thriving practice & community.
BONUS
MODULES
A “booster” is something that supports, improves or increases the effectiveness of something. You can think of Modules 5-8 as bonus content - or boosters - as they are the practices I believe (and have experienced) can sustain you through the various seasons of life and which can give you an added edge when teaching.
-
Module 5: The Life of a Yogini
A feminine approach to Dharma Yoga´s “Life of a Yogi” teachings. Meet your inner teacher & adapt your practice to the lifestage you´re in.
-
Module 6: Restorative Yoga
The practice I wish I had discovered sooner! Learn key restorative poses plus how & why to weave them into your classes.
-
Module 7: Intro to Nidra
This is yoga nidra 101. Understand the structure of a yoga nidra practice and learn scripts you can begin using in class.
-
Module 8: Yoga as Ceremony
This module is the secret sauce to my teaching success over the years. Inspired by house music, rave culture and shamanic ceremonies.

20+ hours of pre-recorded video content including the Dharma Yoga Level 1, 2 and 3 sequences, key pranayama techniques, opening and closing rituals, bonus material.

Thorough examination consisting of live-teaching experience, class planning, multiple-choice quiz, mini essays on all key modules.
-
It is important for me that you receive personalised, 1:1 feedback during this training. As such, I will be reviewing and giving feedback on your live co-teaching session, your class teaching recordings, as well as your written exams. This way, you get the benefit of learning as a group but also the opportunity to reflect on your own personal journey.
-
Upon completion of the core modules, attendance of the live group calls and submission of homework and examination related to these topics, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion and can claim CEUs with Yoga Alliance if you are a registered yoga teacher with them. This body of work must be completed within the 8-week container of this training.
-
This is an 100-hour online training registered with Yoga Alliance, which means you can claim 100 hours of continuing education units upon completion of this course.
"Use every tool available!"
✺
"Use every tool available!" ✺
Of all the lessons my dear teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra, gave me, this is the big one that stuck, and a real testament to his ego-less and selfless nature. At its core, Dharma Yoga is not about making you adhere to strict rules and formats. It is about learning how to be receptive to all teachings, lessons and teachers in whatever shape or form they come. The goal is self-realisation. The goal is a deep, deep state of remembrance.
What makes this course different:
Learn the essence of Dharma Yoga
… without committing to a(nother) full-time teacher training. This course is a rich and nutrient-packed container summarising the best of what I have learned from my immersive 200hr and 500hr Life of a Yogi teacher trainings at the Dharma Yoga Center.
Virtual & Self-Paced
Tune in from anywhere and at any time. As a global nomad, my choice to go virtual was to allow as many students as possible to benefit from this wisdom and this training. Apart from our weekly Sunday calls, you decide when, where and how you digest this info.
Multi-Disciplinary Approach
… and perspectives. While Dharma Yoga forms the backbone and “masculine” container for this training, you will also be introduced to the feminine perspective in yoga as well as complementary practices like Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and the concept of Ceremony.
Feeling uncertain and uninspired?
I get it. i was there.
-
Existing Yoga Teachers
INVEST IN A NEW PARADIGM FOR TEACHING
Connect to a lineage and your own inner wisdom. Transform your classes from mundane to sacred. Upon completion of the coursework and evaluation, participants will receive a certification of completion for The Dharma Yoga Teaching Course. For yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance USA, this will enable you to log 100 hours of continuing education.
-
Women in Yoga + Those Who Support Them
ADAPT YOUR PRACTICE TO THE LIFE STAGE YOU´RE IN
While the first half of this course reflects the maiden, solar, spring and summer energies, the second half of this course is where the healing and reframing happens. I know, because I´ve been there. Learn how to weave feminine wisdom, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and ceremonial rituals to transform your practice, not just for them, but for YOU!
-
Passionate, Curious & Multidimensional Yogis
DIVERSIFY YOUR PRACTICE, IT WILL BE OKAY!
This is for you who, like me, happens to love Dharma Yoga (classical, Hatha Yoga) but are also curious about Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Ceremonial/Sacred Spaces. Experience them all in this one course to help nourish and support your practice, whether or not you already teach or plan to teach in the future. PS - if you do plan to teach, this combo is a godsend.
Now i´m here.
(and soon, you can be too!)

-
If you are following the suggested pace and timeline of this course, you´ll be setting aside an average of 2 hours per day within the 8-week container. This includes a minimum of 3 x practice sessions per week plus reading and writing homework.
-
While I recommend attending as many of the live calls as possible, I also understand life happens. Our calls will always be recorded and the playback will be available to you via our course portal should you need it.
-
Momentum and being in this immersive state can make all the difference. To get the maximum benefit out of this course, graduating homework must be completed within a month of our closing ceremony.
That said, you will have 1-year access to this course beyond the 8-week timeframe. And the final submission for all graduating homework will be 3 months from our closing ceremony.
-
Yes! :) Please see option listed above for the fully self-paced (no live sessions) option.
-
The Dharma Yoga Teaching Course is a Yoga Alliance accredited Continuing Education program, which can be seen as professional development. Whether you are an eager and inspired student wanting to deepen your practice or a certified yoga teacher already, this course will give you the information and experience to begin practicing and teaching in the style of Dharma Yoga on your own.
The aim of a yoga teacher training is to teach and certify individuals to become yoga teachers in the first place. The aim of a course like this one is to provide added value and skills to existing teachers, or those who wish to deepen their practice.
-
You can call yourself a Dharma Yoga teacher or Hatha Raja teacher.
One thing to note is that only graduates of the Life of a Yogi Teacher Training at the Dharma Yoga Center can officially use the "DYRT" designation as in "Dharma Yoga Registered Teacher". For example, having done my 200hr and 500hr training there, I have an advanced DYRT designation.
As a student of this course, you are learning from a DYRT (me) the Dharma Yoga method and its teachings. There is enough material here to equip you to teach Dharma Yoga style classes and the homework and challenges have been designed to give you the experience and confidence to own that title when you are ready to claim it for yourself ❤️
-
This course is open to anyone with a sincere desire to deepen their practice, learn more about Dharma Yoga and familiarise themselves with its sequencing style and overall class format / practice.
-
Most yoga studios require a minimum 200hr-level teacher training certification. You can think of this as a “Bachelor´s Degree” level in yoga. A 500hr teacher training is considered advanced (think of this like your “Master´s Degree” in yoga).
As this is a 100-hour continuing education course (think: Professional Development), you would still need a separate 200hr TT to be fully certified.
My full 200hr teacher training launches September 2027. By doing this course, you will have fulfilled half the requirements for the full 200hr certification.
-
If you choose to learn via the fully solo, self-paced option (i.e. not part of the group training), a bridge pass is what will allow you to join the next round of live calls to supplement your learning and give you that community experience if you decide you´re missing this later. A bridge pass will cost the difference in what you paid for the self-paced option and the standard group training tuition. In a sense, you would be “upgrading” to the full group training experience. Please get in touch if this is something you´re interested in doing.
Dearest Yogini,
If you’ve made it this far, the pull of your heart is strong and you know how meaningful and purposeful this work is in helping others along their journey.
Joining this training means investing in YOU - your dharma, your gift, your calling - as well as becoming part of a growing community driven to create deeply transformative experiences in a light and playful way. I can’t wait to welcome you.
If you have any questions or want to connect deeper, please get in touch via the link below. This is your chance to pick my brains, see if we vibe 🥰 , and make triple sure this training is for you.
Come as you are, bring your fave hot drink / smoothie, something to write with, and I´ll see you real soon!

hear it from the “kula”
In Sanskrit, the word kula means “tribe” or “community”. I love this word, and use it to refer to each cohort of this training. Below, you´ll meet some beautiful souls from the 2024 and 2025 kula. During this clip from our Closing Ceremony, they´ll share with you some highlights from their journey, how their practice and teaching has transformed, and their biggest takeaways from this course. Enjoy ♥
“Signing up for Krissa Ludvigsen´s Dharma Yoga TT, I was looking for new inspiration as a yoga teacher. Having been a student of hers for a while, I thought I knew what I signed up for and what I would get out of the training. But oh, was I wrong. I got so much more than what I ever dreamt of. Krissa is a humble and warm teacher, showing up from wisdom and deep compassion. She has a unique ability to see each and every student she has, to understand what they need and how to meet them. Her TT offers growth and understanding, both of yoga as a practice and philosophy, and of you as a human being. Coming out of her training, I feel seen, held and nourished. I remember once again why I fell in love with this practice and why I feel I have no choice but being a teacher. No matter what type of yoga class I show up to teach now, the essence of Dharma yoga blends into my teachings. As Krissa (and Sri Dharma Mittra ) says, `use every tool available´. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!”
