Yoga Alliance Certified – 200 or 300 Hours

Why Awaken

At Awaken, we see yoga and meditation as living wisdom, not confined to posture or practice, but as a way of life.

Our approach is non-dogmatic, poetic, and experiential, weaving together classical teachings, modern insight, and the deep art of self-inquiry.


You will be led by Manish Pole and supported by Rana Abihayla co-founders of Awaken and lifelong students of yoga, philosophy, and meditation. Together, they bring over two decades of experience teaching globally and mentoring seekers into deeper purpose and presence.

The Awaken Approach

At Awaken, our approach to Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training is both classical and contemporary.

It integrates the physical discipline of yoga with the contemplative depth of meditation; two paths that, together, lead to inner mastery and skillful teaching.

We emphasize three core pillars:

Wisdom - Grounding in the original teachings of Yoga, Meditation Psychology, and Philosophy.

You’ll study the classical texts and frameworks that explain how the body, mind, and consciousness interact developing intellectual clarity that supports both practice and teaching.


Embodiment - Translating theory into lived experience through daily asana, breathwork, and meditation.

This is where learning becomes realization, observing directly how awareness expresses itself through the body, energy, and thought.


Transmission - Learning how to communicate these principles authentically to others.

You’ll develop practical teaching tools and facilitation skills for both Yoga and Meditation, learning to guide not only movement and breath, but also silence, stillness, and self-inquiry.


This is not a “style” of yoga or a single meditation technique.

It is an education in awareness,  a disciplined, experiential inquiry into the mechanics of mind, breath, and behavior.


Through this integrative approach, you emerge not only as a certified Yoga Teacher, but also as a Meditation Teacher, equipped to guide others in the art of embodied living and mindful transformation.
