Have you always wanted to create spaces that are equitable, inclusive, and respectful, but felt overwhelmed or unsure about where to start?

This 300-hour 6 month training is for yoga teachers and space holders who want to deepen their practice, strengthen their pedagogy, and learn to teach from a place of integrity, accountability, and collective care.


At Radical Darshan, advanced training is not about doing more for the sake of more. It’s not about the acquisition and control of knowledge for power. It is about studying more deeply, unlearning more honestly, and practicing yoga in a way that honours its roots while preparing you to meet the ethical realities of teaching in the modern world.

 You will be taught by Black, Asian and Global Majority women, trans, and non-binary faculty, with collaborators, allies, and accomplices.

What Sets Radical Darshan Apart

  • A decolonial and justice-centered framework throughout the training

  • Compassionate accountability as a living practice

  • Integration of yoga philosophy with anti-oppression study

  • Teaching methods that prioritise accessibility, agency, and collective care

  • Faculty with lived experience of navigating oppression and building change within real communities

This Training Welcomes

This training is for yoga teachers, teachers leading their own yoga teacher trainings, studio owners, dedicated students of yoga, and wellbeing professionals who are committed to social justice and equity in the spaces they hold.

It is also for people working in wellness, education, activism, or community spaces who want to refine their understanding, language, and practical capacity around justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion through yogic study and practice. This is a training for those ready to embrace critical inquiry, challenge conventional power dynamics, and come into more compassionate alignment with how they teach and lead.

We are  here for those who feel called to move beyond exclusionary wellness culture and toward teaching that is more inclusive, relational, and liberatory.

Rooted in yoga’s traditions and shaped by a justice-centered lens, we support all people to deepen their study, refine their voice, and create spaces where more people can belong.


  • Experienced or emerging yoga and movement teachers who want to deepen their pedagogy, ethics, and confidence

  • Facilitators in wellness, education, activism, or community spaces who feel called to teach with more intention

  • People committed to unlearning colonial, patriarchal, racist, and exclusionary patterns in yoga and wellness culture

  • Those ready to move away from guru-style leadership and toward community-centered, compassionate accountability

  • Space holders who want practical tools for accessible teaching, courageous dialogue, and inclusive communication

Stepping Into This Work

This is an advanced training, so it is best suited to those who already have a committed relationship with yoga practice, teaching, or facilitation. You do not need to have 200YTT certification to join us at Radical Darshan - as we reject colonial ownership of yogic knowledge. However, and this is where we do nuance, for some of you, certification maybe required. So you may already have completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training or bring equivalent depth of experience in movement, community practice, or related fields. What matters most is not perfection, but readiness: readiness to study deeply, reflect honestly, participate in community, and engage in the work of unlearning with humility and care.

Teachings You'll Integrate

The Radical Darshan curriculum integrates the four paths of yoga with accessible pedagogy, ethical principles and justice-centered facilitation

  • Decolonising Yoga’s Roots

    Uncover the colonial and capitalist histories that have shaped modern yoga, and examine how they continue to show up in studios, trainings, wellness branding, and online spaces. Study yoga’s roots with greater honesty, and reclaim ethics grounded in reciprocity, collective care, and relational accountability

  • Trauma-Aware & Embodied Teaching

    Learn to teach with attention to nervous-system states, consent, agency, and capacity. Develop krama, classical kundalini, yin & lunar practices that are more accessible, low-threshold, and responsive to diverse bodies, identities, and lived experiences

  • Sacred Ritual, Wisdom Traditions & Inner Practice

    Engage energy systems, Āyurveda, cakrā, meditation, prāṇāyāma, mantrā, mudrā, yoga nidrā and ritual beyond pop-yoga consumerism or spiritual bypassing. Explore practices that support grief, healing, resilience, self-inquiry, and collective renewal and freedom

  • Equity, Power & Pedagogy

    Practice antiracist, queer-affirming, disability-aware, and culturally conscious teaching. Learn how power moves through educational and wellness spaces, and design classes that centre dignity, relationship, and lived experience over hierarchy or perfection

  • Community Teaching & Capstone Projects

    Co-create and teach public or community-rooted offerings with guided feedback and support. Complete a capstone project that connects your teaching to a justice-oriented initiative, service, or community need

What You'll Carry Forward

  • Empower yourself as a facilitator

    Develop the skills to navigate challenging conversations, respond to harm with greater maturity, and guide students with wisdom, compassion, and discernment

    This training is more than āsana. It weaves justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion into the living fabric of yoga study so your teaching can reflect both spiritual depth and social responsibility

  • Create positive change through ethical teaching

    Gain a deeper understanding of power, cultural extraction, accessibility, and accountability so your work contributes to a more just and equitable yoga community

Additional Outcomes

Training Rhythm

This training runs live online across 6 months with sessions held Friday to Sunday on selected weekends.

Between live sessions, students engage in self-study, reading, journalling, integration practices, and assignments that support deeper reflection and application.

Time For Self-Study

Plan for live training weekends plus regular weekly time for reading, journalling, practice, and integration. A gentle and realistic rhythm often works best: shorter, consistent study periods tend to support deeper learning than trying to absorb everything at once.
