Next Training:
To be announced

Integrate the deepest, most authentic practices of yoga into your daily life. Our programs are based on the teachings of our Guru, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D. and his translations and texts that stem from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Vedas. We immerse you first and foremost in the deep and timeless practices of Yoga in a peaceful ashram setting in the Heart of the city of San Francisco. And from this platform, we guide you into finding your own unique, authentic voice as a teacher of Yoga.

Brahmananda Ashram (Yoga Society of San Francisco) yoga teacher training embraces all the 8 limbs of yoga, as described by The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

  • Learn Yoga directly from Sanskrit texts and translate these teachings into your words so that you may better communicate with your students
  • Step into a Journey of I-AM: the ultimate aim of yoga is to ensure that you become who you truly are: a center of moksha, a liberated being
  • We provide you proven and powerful templates of Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga sequences that you can use to teach classes suitable for beginners to more athletic practitioners
  • You will establish a daily sadhana: a spiritual practice of Yoga that will guide your choices to ensure that you are driven by your Soul and not by the pressures of daily living

Testimonials


This is not a ‘do as I say not as I do’ situation, it is neither hypothetical nor armchair academic spirituality, it is a living practice passed by living practicing individuals.


Gratitude for Sumukhi and Briksha for their ONEderful teachings, a humungous output of energy, patience, brilliance, and commitment. There were so many ONEderful moments to be thankful for:

Three particular moments that stand out are

working together with Angie and Sayra on the first sequence practice. So sweet and meaningful to me. I am touched that I will always have this memory of “how it all began.”


Briksha’s ONEderful story about the King and the Minister…


Sumukhi’s precious voice, music, excellent and inspiring explanations of deeply esoteric subject matter, clear asana teaching, patience, and humor

Monica Miller

Thank you to Sumukhi for her guidance and wisdom. Because of her guidance, I have been able to expand my businesses. I gained so much by working with her in yoga and I continue practicing and learning more about Ayurveda.

Sumukhi is an important role model. Her trust and openness are cherished by me.
