SPIRITUAL WARRIOR ONLINE TEACHER TRAINING
For 200-hour+ certified teachers who are ready to stop feeling like just another RYT.
300-HOUR ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING
Next Start October 3, 2026
A 300-Hour Advanced Kundalini , Ayurveda, Enneagram & Lunar Archetype Training
Spiritual Warrior is a twenty-four-week, 300-hour advanced rite of passage for teachers who already hold a 200-hour certificate and are ready to stop feeling like just another one.
This training is about becoming the kind of teacher students specifically seek out — not the kind who repeats someone else's sequence and hopes it lands. The kind of person who trusts what they’re actually observing in a room over a script they memorized. You want to understand your own patterns before you pass them on to a class, hold space without needing to fix anyone, and teach from a voice that unmistakably sounds like yours.
There comes a moment when you realize your 200-hour wasn't the ceiling — it was the beginning. You don't need another certificate that looks like everyone else's. You need an integration: a way of teaching that draws from your whole self, not just your training manual.
Our training weaves Kundalini, Ayurveda, the Enneagram, and Lunar Archetypes into one guru-free, trauma-informed methodology — four lenses on the same person, taught live by named educators, so you can be fully yourself, mystical and credible both, and graduate with a teaching signature no one else in your studio has, not just more hours toward your 500-hour registration.
What Makes This Training Different
Most advanced trainings just add more asana hours. This one adds four different lenses — Kundalini, Ayurveda, the Enneagram, and Lunar Archetypes — onto the same person. That combination is what gives graduates a teaching voice no one else in their studio has, not just a longer certificate.
You'll also learn something most advanced trainings skip entirely: how to actually hold sacred space. Not just sequence a class, but ground a room, tend a ceremony, and carry the quiet, steady presence a group looks for in moments that matter — the difference between reciting a script and being trusted to lead.
The Guru Question, Answered DirectlY
Most Kundalini yoga taught in the U.S. traces to one man — Yogi Bhajan — and the organizations he built, 3HO and KRI. If you already know that history, you know why some people hesitate on adopting this practice.
Yogi Bhajan wanted teachers to conform to his way and method. That is not how we approach the art of teaching yoga.
At Yoga Farm Ithaca, Kundalini yoga is taught as a practice of learning and exploration, not as a belief system or hierarchy. Our educators emphasize choice, consent-based language, trauma-informed methodology and nervous-system awareness - and students are always encouraged to adapt practices in ways that feel supportive to them.
This program intentionally moves away from guru-based teaching models. We do not ask students to surrender their authority or accept any single perspective as absolute. Instead, we support students in developing discernment, curiosity, and their own authentic teaching voice.
Here at YFI, it is our practice to believe women and anyone who has been disenfranchised or oppressed and to dismantle structures that silence their experience and voices.

MUCH MORE THAN A YOGA TEACHER TRAINING!
KUNDALINI YOGA, AYURVEDA, THE ENNEAGRAM AS WELL AS THE STUDY OF LUNAR CYCLES WILL EQUIP YOU WITH AN ESSENTIAL TOOLKIT FOR WELLBEING, AND FULL ACCESS TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING THE SUBTLE FLUCTUATIONS OF YOUR BODY, AS WELL AS PREPARE YOU TO TEACH STUDENTS ONLINE OR IN-PERSON.
If you've ever wanted to study Kundalini Yoga, this program offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practice.
ENNEAGRAM FRAMEWORK
Trauma-informed Kundalini yoga, through the framework of Enneagram, helps you understand how to return to your True Nature with efficiency, and precision.
The Enneagram is a brilliant personality typing system that helps individuals understand how they handle their emotions and interact with the world.
Enneagram is a union of psychology and spirituality. It will offer you a brilliant vision of your own potential and a clear map of the nine pathways to your highest self-expression.
AYURVEDA
Ayurveda, the ancient art of balancing the body and mind, is a large part of this course, providing you with practical tools to create lifestyle habits to promote your wellness, as well as design classes that complement seasonal changes.
Ayurveda translates to “knowledge of life.” Helps us understand our individual body type. Ayurveda helps us understand our vehicle that we travel through life in, to make adjustments, to eat, sleep in rhythm with our physical body.
Lunar Archetypes
Lunar Archetypes allow us to connect with the natural rhythms of our bodies, as we move with the cycles of the moon. These archetypes are present for us throughout our lives, whether we have a moon cycle or not.
When we look at ourselves through these archetypal lenses and apply practices to keep us in balance we live a more aligned life. In this training we will recognize the 4 main archetypes in our bodies and minds, and be able to embrace their strengths and nourish them to meet their unique needs.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is the living practice at the center of this training — everything you learn through Ayurveda, the Enneagram, and Lunar Archetypes gets applied directly through it.
Often called the "Yoga of Awareness," Kundalini weaves breath, mantra, meditation, energetic movement, and physical postures into a single practice — theory you can actually feel in your body, not just understand in your head.
This is the unique combination that sets Spiritual Warrior apart from other 300-hour trainings: four lenses, one practice, taught live so you graduate able to teach it with real presence, not just explain it.

Supriya shah
Supriya is here to be your unapologetic cheerleader on your journey to your best, most vibrant life!
Originally trained as a medical doctor from Brown University, Supriya quickly became disenchanted by a healthcare system that prioritizes symptom management over disease prevention, marginalizes patient concerns, and silos organ systems and medical conditions - perpetuating society’s sense of disconnection within themselves.
Seeking an integrative approach to true wellness - physical vitality, emotional peace, and mental clarity - Supriya turned to her cultural roots and the study of Ayurveda. Although this vast, ancient science can sometimes feel overwhelming, Supriya’s approach to Ayurveda is inviting, fun, and functional - helping you easefully integrate recommendations into your busy life.
In addition to being an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, Supriya’s portfolio of experiences enable her to authentically relate and offer a uniquely holistic perspective to life events. From public health to corporate consulting to volunteering as an EMT/firefighter - you name it, she’s probably tried it.
A graduate of YFI’s Radiant, Kundalini, and Spiritual Warrior programs, Supriya fell in love with Yoga Farm’s open-hearted, inclusive community, and is very excited to be part of the teaching team!

The yoga you will practice and learn to teach is based on the ancient sciences of Kundalini yoga and Ayurveda. Jeannie, the lead educator, has learned from and studied in many schools of yoga. She brings a practical, modernized, easy to understand approach without the baggage of some kundalini yoga traditions.
Although we acknowledge the breadth of knowledge of Yogi Bhajan and what he brought to the world, in this school we recognize that the roots of Kundalini Practices (Laya Yoga and Kriya Yoga), go far deeper than his lineage. It is our assertion and intention that students learn to tap into the inner light and power.
This is a ‘Guru Free’ teacher training. Students are encouraged to bring in their own spiritual traditions and teach from a space that is authentic to them.
It is vitally important that as yoga practitioners and teachers, we acknowledge that experiential learning, embodied practice and using our own inner guidance system is far more efficient than following a strict doctrine.
