I completed Anuttara's online/self-paced Tantric Continuing Education course "The Path of Awakening". This course truly helped to deepen my spiritual & meditation practice with philosophical explanations, but most importantly experiences (in which the student experiences an irreplacable inner peace). The format of the course not only made the learnings accessible within daily life, but in fact COMPLEMENTED daily life. The student learns how to implement the tantric practices within their life to return to peace & presence. Super grateful for the teachers & teachings!

Anuttara's teacher training is truly wonderful. It went above and beyond all of the expectations I had for a yoga teacher training. The facilitators are truly wonderful! I would highly highly recommend Anuttara!

I wanted to learn yoga and I've found that teaching is the best way to really learn something well so I looked for an online course. Anuttara is exactly what I was looking for.
The course is thorough and well presented. All the teachers and facilitators are amazing.

Devoted teachers and community.
I completed the 200 hour yoga and meditation teacher training. I really appreciated the embodied practices, discipline and community at Anuttara. I was expecting to just learn a bunch of asanas, but I got so much more from the container created for meditation, quieting the mind and bhakti/devotion.

The land was beautiful and nurturing and the food was healing and filled with love and intention. It was a place for a major life shift for me and I am tremendously grateful.

I completed my 200 hour YYT (Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training) in August 2019. The training and the teachers were exceptional! Living off-grid, the rustic, comfortable accommodations, the delicious vegan food and friendships that will last a lifetime all contribute to an incredible, rewarding experience.
I highly recommend Anuttara Ashram.

I completed Anuttara's Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training in 2021 at the Ashram within Nisga'a Territory, British Columbia. I decided to take the training to deepen in my own practice. Whether or not it would lead to me actually teaching yoga classes, I was ready for a process that would support a deeper commitment to my Self and seeing reality as it is. It turned out to be an important step in my journey; opening up the giving aspect of my life as a practitioner and a whole new facet of practice: teaching.
If you are looking for authentic spirituality and wholesome community and are willing to live off-grid, with the plants and the mountains, the mosquitos and sometimes having to haul water from the creek, then I would say this training is an absolute dream come true.
I am used to living and working out side, tree-planting and have been visiting the ashram here for years, so there was no adjustment period for me in that sense. But I imagine there would one for some folks who are very accustomed to the fast conveniences of the city.
If you are interested in looking into the heart of things, of oneself, into the core teachings of most spiritual and religious traditions around the world, there is space to explore this experientially here with Anuttara. Be well!

The best experience I could’ve ever asked for.

I couldn’t be happier with the training I received! It was inclusive, patient and kind. I felt very ready to start passing my knowledge on to others.

I received my 200 hour yoga teacher training at the ashram last summer and it was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. It was challenging, invigorating, expanding and fun. Being able to experience ashram life and live as part of a community was such a great backdrop to studying yogic philosophy.

Disconnecting and living off grid was a huge opportunity for my personal growth. I've never been to Northern BC and did not pack appropriately. No rain gear and only some Birkenstocks on my feet. My mind raced with thoughts of how uncomfortable my poor packing skills were going to make me. I resisted the urge to ask someone to drive into town for more supplies. Then slowly those thoughts started to go away and I just accepted my current state of being. Whether that was being wet, or having my sandals get stuck in the mud making me miss morning kriyas, or wearing the only warm pair of yellow sweat pants over and over again. It was liberating. I learned that my obsession with comfort was extremely uncomfortable.

The nature up there is indescribable. The walk to the Nass River, the forest temple, being surrounded by gorgeous glacial mountains. And no internet! Holy moly no internet sounds scary but to be without it for a while was so refreshing. Once a week the wifi was turned on and it was palatable.

Bhairav, Artemis, Ishvari, Chokyi, and Tara are such wonderful teachers. The material was treated with the utmost respect and while feeling traditional it never felt prescriptive. The karma crew and long term members of the ashram made the environment so inviting. I am so grateful that I got to hang out with such awesome people. Oh! If you like music the Kirtan and dining hall jam sessions were amazing!

If you are looking for a unique yoga teacher training seriously Anuttara is special. I hope to come back to do my 300 hour teacher training one day!

Recuerdo este lugar con mucho amor, hubo gran dedicación y entrega por parte de los profesores y lo notas en cada detalle. Aprendí a meditar y entender el porqué de hacer yoga, hasta hoy sigo practicando. Pero aún más profundo que eso aprendí a estar feliz en mi esencia, siendo yo misma y ellos desencadenaron eso en mi. Hasta hoy los recuerdo y agradezco en todas mis prácticas. El lugar me entregó mucha paz de la manera que más lo necesitaba. Me encantaría volver.
I remeber this place with my heart. There was great dedication and emotional support from all the teachers, you could notice in everybody detail. I learnt how to meditate and how and why to practice yoga, I continued my practice till today. But deeper than that I have learned to feel happy inside me, being truly myself, they gave me that. I am grateful to them every single time I practice for teaching me such profound understanding. The place made me feel peace in the way I needed it the most. I would love to come back.

This is a truly inclusive group of people, committed to helping you become the most authentic and prepared yoga instructor possible. Every interaction I have had has been professional, kind, and supportive. Wholeheartedly recommend!
