We are honored to be celebrating 19 years of teaching, guiding, and evolving, offering global yoga teacher trainings since 2007.

This work is more than education - it is lasting transformation; yoga in it's purest sense; where you not only learn the philosophy of yoga, but you learn how to integrate it into your life.

Whether you are joining us for continuing education or feeling called to begin or deepen your path through our 200 or 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, this is an invitation into something much bigger than a certification.

It is an invitation into yourself.

eOver the past three years, our founder, Hali Love, has been devoted to creating something truly impactful. Virtual Prana (www.virtualprana.com) is a comprehensive online education platform that now supports every part of our training experience.

This allows us to offer a program that is accessible, flexible, and designed for real integration into your life.

All of our trainings include lifetime access, so you can return to the material again and again as you grow, evolve, and deepen your practice.

We are also proud to be a fully paperless school, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and modern learning.

Rooted in the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, often referred to as the grandfather of modern yoga, our approach honors the understanding that yoga is not one size fits all.

It is a personal practice; a lived experience; a relationship with yourself & a connection to a global, supportive community.

Alongside this training, you will not only learn how to teach yoga, you will learn how to understand it.

Each program includes in-depth study of:

Yoga history and philosophyAsana, meditation, and pranayamaFunctional anatomy and biomechanicsAyurveda and the Meridian System based on the Five Element TheorySelf-inquiry and personal developmentBut what truly sets this training apart is not just what you learn. It is who you become in the process. This work will ask you to look inward. Our Lead Trainer Hali Love is trained in Subconscious Restructuring - each training has extensive Personal Development within it. This helps you to notice your patterns; to move through self-doubt, limitations, and the beliefs that may be holding you back.

And through that awareness, something begins to shift: You become more confident.More grounded. More connected to your voice.Not just as a teacher, but as a human.

For those who are already certified teachers, we also offer advanced yoga teacher training programs designed to deepen your knowledge and expand your skillset.

These include specialized trainings in:

Yin YogaYoga NidraRestorative YogaTrauma-aware and mental health-informed yogaEach advanced program is designed to support continued growth, deeper understanding, and more impactful, responsible teaching. We are deeply committed to supporting you every step of the way. From the moment you apply, through every training module, and long after you graduate, you are held in a space of guidance, encouragement, and genuine care. Because this is not just a training you complete.It is a community you become part of.

If you feel the pull, trust it. We would be honored to guide you on this journey. Feel free to email our Lead Facilitator at [email protected] or WhatsApp her with any questions +506-8964-4369.

With gratitude,

Multi Style Yoga International / Virtual Prana
