Why Skanda Yoga is not just another Teacher Training
Skanda is not just another teacher training.
It fuses lineage, science, and transformation into a method that blends modern biomechanics with yogic philosophy, led by Sadhana and a faculty with over 30 years of experience.
Each session goes beyond āsana—cultivating leadership, clarity, and service.
With small groups, personalized mentorship, and real teaching opportunities, you leave with more than a certificate:
you gain a method, a community, and the confidence to lead from truth.

Teacher Training Testimonials
I’m currently completing my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Skanda Yoga — just one module to go! The journey has been deeply enriching, both personally and professionally. Skanda’s training goes far beyond asana; it weaves together philosophy, energy anatomy, ritual, and spiritual alignment. I feel empowered, supported, and part of a lineage of wisdom that continues to transform my life on and off the mat.

If you want to experience a yoga practice that transforms body, mind, and spirit, look no further than Skanda Yoga. Fourteen years ago, after a car accident injured my neck and shoulder, a friend suggested yoga. As a bodybuilder and trainer, it wasn’t on my radar—but I reluctantly tried. Through breath and mindful movement, I learned that strength isn’t always about muscle. Skanda Yoga healed my injuries, uplifted my spirit, and became the foundation of my wellbeing. I’ve traveled to India with Skanda twice, am close to completing my 500-hour YTT, and am proud to be part of this incredible family. After all these years, I still look forward to every class and the energy we create together.

Skanda Yoga is the studio for you to grow and expand your yoga practice at any level. Classes are energetic, well structured, and very well delivered. Every time I practice here, I am challenged and empowered to give my best. It is a place where you can get an intense workout for your body but more importantly for your mind!!, the lessons learned here go beyond the 90 minute duration of the class.
As a Teacher Training Trainee, I must say that Skanda Yoga is the best training currently being offered in Miami. It is filled with wisdom and profound knowledge that would allow you to be an amazing and unique teacher.
