Please note that it is strongly suggested that you have taken at least a few classes at Laughing Lotus if you are interested in applying, and required that you have an ongoing and consistent Vinyasa practice of at least one year.
Our 200 hour Yoga Program is the perfect launching pad for teaching as well as a fantastic way to deepen your own personal practice. Dubbed ‘love school’, we are here to support you on your incredible journey in cultivating a personal spiritual practice, Sadhana, that connects you directly with the Source of your being, the true Teacher or Guru within. Through this sacred connection, you become the true mystic, sharing what you discover and offering yourself as a powerful and healing presence in the world.

Yoga School at Laughing Lotus is an incredibly rich and intensive program that fully brings to life the depth and joy of Yoga as a creative process and as a Divine path to Awakening.

As a registered Yoga Alliance® School, our curriculum fulfills all of the necessary requirements, and yet goes even deeper by focusing on the greater aspects of teaching right from the start. From the very first weekend, students are teaching and discovering their own voices and soulful expression.
Jasmine Tarkeshi and Dana Flynn, the co-creators and co-directors of Laughing Lotus and the Lotus College of Yoga, have developed a program that thoroughly explores the art of teaching and sequencing a Vinyasa class. Vinyasa means step by step and our sequencing is an ecstatic celebration where the asanas are woven together like a garland, honoring the body’s own intelligence and guided by the powerful rhythm of the breath. The movement as medicine and prayer; pranayama, mantra, mudra, and timeless yogic teachings lift the veil of the mind and liberates the Spirit to Freedom and Cosmic Oneness.
Our philosophy focus is on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the ‘road map’ to Liberation. Through self-inquiry, group discussion and chanting of the Sutras, we uncover and experience the meaning of Yoga and how this rich philosophy relates to our daily lives.

Laughing Lotus Senior Teachers Alison and Sheri will be your guides for the amazing journey that is LOTUS COLLEGE OF YOGA. Asana, philosophy and teaching skills are taught by our Senior Teachers, infused with creativity and the unique approach to sharing the yoga practice that is Laughing Lotus’ signature teaching style.

Co-Directors Jasmine and Dana bring their passionate wisdom to every teacher training, sharing the principles of our signature style of yoga and how to incorporate them into your unique expression as a teacher.

Senior teacher Sarah Tomlinson teaches meditation, and shares an in-depth study of subtle body and Chakras, the use of Mantra, Ayurveda, and Yoga as it relates to the internal organs.

Heather Heineman, Senior Lotus teacher and teacher of our monthly ANATOMY BLAST, shares the anatomy portion of our training by brilliantly weaving together the functions of the various systems of the body and how they specifically relate to the yoga practice.

Sanskrit Scholar Manorama joins our stellar teaching staff for introduction to Sanskrit. This glimpse brings to life the mysterious language of the Gods and is great preparation for chanting the sutras as well as enjoying kirtan.

Beloved Lotus Teacher Lauren Magarelli shares the Prenatal Yoga teachings as well as her passion for Kids Yoga.

Yoga is about relationships and our time together asks of your complete and active participation in Community.

Yoga School is a Weekend Program, but you will also be assigned a Mentor and partnered up with another soul seeker whom you will meet with on a weekly basis. There is an abundant amount of homework each week and other assignments, like Karma Yoga, that will require your full focus. You must be able to fulfill ALL of the above requirements to complete your certification and receive your Diploma.
