Why Train at Kevala Yoga?

At Kevala, Yoga is studied as more than a system of physical postures. It is approached as a living discipline of practice, inquiry, awareness, and transformation.

The training brings together traditional yogic teachings and practices with a practical understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, sequencing, and modern teaching methodology.

You will study classical philosophy and scripture, develop your personal practice, explore pranayama and meditation, understand the body more deeply, and progressively learn how to guide others with clarity and confidence.

Small-group learning allows space for questions, individual feedback, meaningful discussion, and direct mentorship throughout the program.

The aim is not simply to learn how to lead a yoga class, but to develop the understanding, practice, and presence from which meaningful teaching can emerge.

Meet Your Lead Teacher

Yogacharya Nalin Mann

Nalin Mann's journey into Yoga began with an inner calling that led him away from a conventional corporate path and toward a deeper study and practice of Yoga.

Initiated into the Bhakti Yoga lineage by Pujya Maharaj Shri Hit Radheshlal Goswami Ji in 2008 and disciplined through the path of Ashtanga Yoga, his approach brings together devotion, practice, self-inquiry, and traditional yogic study.

Alongside this foundation, Nalin has developed a deep interest in functional anatomy, biomechanics, and intelligent movement. This allows students to explore traditional practices while developing a practical understanding of how the body moves and how asana can be taught with greater awareness and adaptability.

His teaching emphasizes understanding over memorization and encourages students not only to study Yoga, but to bring its principles into their practice, teaching, and everyday life.

What Sets This Training Apart?

Study Yoga within the broader tradition from which the physical practice emerged, including philosophy, scripture, pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudra, bandha, and other foundational practices.

Traditional Wisdom, Modern Understanding

Yoga Beyond Asana
