The Purna Yoga 2,000 hour Level
Embody the Knowledge
“The College of Purna Yoga has been the most meaningful experience for my personal and professional life. The therapeutic training I received has been invaluable in helping my clients find long term relief from chronic pain and disability. This program is like no other.”

The 2,000 hour program is designed to support teachers to become holders of the flame of Purna Yoga. Graduates at this level share and grow Purna Yoga by opening Purna Yoga studios, leading a 200 hour teacher training in their area, teaching at Yoga Centers, or by teaching Purna Yoga Meditation, among other ways.
At the Purna Yoga 2,000 hour Level you learn to truly embody Purna Yoga. Studying directly with world-renowned yoga masters and Purna Yoga founders Aadil Palkhivala and Savitri, you receive the gift of working with two teachers fervently dedicated to your progress and growth towards your Soul. The 2,000 hour Level is our most rigorous program, holding you to the highest standards of excellence in your personal practice, your yoga teaching and your life.
This program delves deeply into Purna Yoga meditation, asana and pranayama, teaching methodology, therapeutics, applied philosophy, business, ethics, nutrition, and energetics. To fulfill the program’s intention and embody Purna Yoga, you must learn to live and teach from your inner wisdom—therefore, the greatest attention is placed on the development of your personal integrity, professionalism, and inner connection with light and truth.
