At Yoga Varna, we believe that the depth of yogic wisdom should be accessible without needing to uproot one’s life. After personally spending nearly two years traveling to understand the nuances of yoga, our founder designed each course to bring that same depth and authenticity into people’s homes.

Our mission is to train compassionate, skilled yoga teachers by offering flexible, comprehensive programs that honor tradition while embracing the realities of modern life. With thoughtfully designed modules, flexible timings, and extended mentorship, our courses empower individuals to deepen their practice and become teachers—without quitting their jobs or compromising their responsibilities.
