Namaste,
Thank you for your interest in the Shambhava School of Yoga at Chi-Town Shakti. The Shambhava School was among the very first schools to offer yoga teacher trainings in the United States on the orginal Yoga Alliance board. Our trainings have been tailored over our many years of experience, and have provided a guiding light and set an extraordinarily high bar for training standards. We hope to continue to develop and refine our programming through our offerings in Chicago, and our connection to our amazing and dedicated students. Becoming certified is an incredibly rewarding journey and one that contains the opportunity for amazing self discovery. Come with an open mind and heart, we’ll supply the rest.
~Bhakti White, E-RYT 500
