“Shakti Yoga University developed through our love of yoga and community. The goal has always been to share the teachings that have made us stronger leaders and teachers in every aspect of our lives and to show appreciation for where yoga started. We intentionally designed these trainings to include the talented and experienced Shakti teaching team along with established guest teachers from across the country. The gift of teaching yoga has taught us humility, compassion, and a deeper connection to our authentic selves. We are committed to creating an impact and making a difference in the lives of others. Our mission is to inspire people to discover their passions and manifest their most empowered life.”

“The 200 hour training with Shakti Yoga University is a transformative program that provided me with the tools to step in front of my greatest fears so I can choose to be seen, receive love and hold space for myself and others…not just in yoga, but in my life. I completed my training in 2019 and I’ve been teaching at Shakti ever since. Yes - this program taught me how to lead a powerful yoga class and I learned how to be more confident and clear, how to stand in my power and how to create a space for others to do the same. I love sharing this practice and I am grateful for this training and how it prepared me to lead with love!” - Olivia Barker
