The Blue Buddha Method™ 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
The journey begins this September… and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to teach yoga? Or maybe you’ve simply felt called to deepen your practice, learn more about yourself, and immerse yourself in a community of like-minded people.
Whatever brings you here, you’re welcome.
Our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is so much more than earning a certification. It’s an opportunity to explore movement, breath, philosophy, anatomy, meditation, mindful communication, and the art of teaching from presence. Along the way, you’ll build confidence, create lifelong friendships, and discover strengths that extend far beyond the yoga mat.
Whether your goal is to become a yoga teacher, deepen your understanding of yoga, or simply spend ten weeks investing in yourself, this journey will meet you exactly where you are.
The Blue Buddha Method™
At Blue Buddha, we believe great teaching goes beyond cueing postures. Through our signature Blue Buddha Method™, you’ll learn how to guide with presence, teach with authenticity, and create meaningful experiences that help students reconnect with themselves.
Because yoga isn’t just about how we move.
It’s about how we live.

2025 Yoga Nidra Lumina YTT Graduates


YOGA NIDRA LUMINA 40 HOUR TEACHER TRAINING WITH MASTER YOGA NIDRA LUMINARY KARIN
Nidra Lumina: A Soul Remembrance Teacher Training
Nidra Lumina is more than a certification- it’s a sacred initiation into the art of guiding others home to themselves. Developed by Master Yoga Teacher Karin Fellman, Nidra Lumina is a culmination of her evolving twelve-year yoga nidra journey.
Karin was trained in this ancient meditation practice that is handed down from teacher to student. Karin studied with Yoga Nidra expert Kamini Desai PhD., and went on to receive her Masters Yoga Nidra training by her father Yoga Guru Amrit Desai at his Ashram in 2014. Amrit Desai’s teacher was guru Swami Sri Kripalvanand or Bapuji, a Master of tantric sadhana. Desai was initiated into the secrets of Shaivite Kundalini by Bapuji.
Over the years Karin has added her own teachings, creating Nidra Lumina- a method that weaves together deep stillness, sacred storytelling, vibrational sound healing, and soul remembrance.
Through four immersive weekends, you’ll awaken your own inner luminosity while learning to hold space for others to do the same.
Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or simply feel the call to guide others through rest, this journey will illuminate your voice, deepen your intuition, and attune you to the energetic architecture of healing.
You’ll leave not only with the tools to guide profound Nidra experiences, but also with a renewed connection to your soul’s purpose.
