What this is (and isn’t)

This is not another certification. It's not about learning how to sequence better classes or pick up more techniques. This is an inner immersion. A space to refine your sensitivity. To deepen your direct experience. To strengthen the connection between your practice, your awareness, and how you show up to teach.

WEEK 1 — Kundalini Shakti

Sat 4 July — 7:00–9:30am

Tue 7 July — 7:00–9:00am


Begin to shift your state of being through direct, breath-led practice. Work with Kundalini as living force, moving awareness from mind into body and opening a deeper experience of presence, energy, and connection.

WEEK 2 — Inner Architecture

Sat 11 July — 7:00–9:30am

Tue 14 July — 7:00–9:00am


Develop a clearer internal map of your experience through the 10 bodies, the tattvas, and the systems shaping perception. What once felt conceptual becomes embodied, tangible, and deeply recognisable within yourself.

WEEK 3 — Body Intelligence

Sat 18 July — 7:00–9:30am

Tue 21 July — 7:00–9:00am


Understand how practice creates change through the body, mind, and energetic system. Explore glands, kriya, rhythm, and repetition as shifts in clarity, mood, and presence become increasingly grounded and real.

WEEK 4 — Mind of Love

Sat 25 July — 7:00–9:30am

Tue 28 July — 7:00–9:00am


Move into a more integrated way of being through sustained meditation, compassion, and presence. Learn to work with resistance, deepen your capacity to stay, and allow practice to become something you live — and teach.

FAQs

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions. You can always contact us if there's anything else.

Is this Immersion for me?

If you are a 200-hour qualified yoga teacher and feel called to deepen beyond technique, this is for you.

The Illuminated Teacher is designed for teachers who want to go beyond sequencing, cueing, and external structure, and into deeper embodiment, presence, and authentic transmission.


Whether you’re newly qualified or have been teaching for years, this immersion is for those who want to refine their inner experience, strengthen their practice, and teach from a place that feels more real.

Do i really need a 200hr YTT?

Yes. A 200hr Yoga Teacher Training is required.

I’m newly qualified — am I ready for this?

Yes — absolutely. If you’ve recently completed your 200hr, this can be a powerful next step.


You likely already have foundational knowledge and practical tools. What matters now is deepening your embodiment, refining your inner experience, and strengthening the foundation beneath how you teach.


The earlier you begin cultivating presence, sensitivity, and direct experience, the more authentic and elevated your teaching will become.

How is this different from a traditional teacher training?

This is not a traditional teacher training, and it is not a certification.


This immersion is not about learning how to teach, collecting more techniques, or adding more sequences, structures, or methods you can simply regurgitate.


It is about deepening the teacher beneath the teaching.


Rather than focusing on external frameworks alone, The Illuminated Teacher is designed to refine your inner experience, strengthen your embodiment, and deepen the quality of presence, sensitivity, and awareness you bring to your practice and your teaching.

What will actually shift in my teaching?

This immersion is designed to deepen your sensitivity, refine your direct experience, and cultivate a more finely tuned awareness of your inner state, because the depth of your teaching is inseparable from the depth of your own embodiment.


You’ll strengthen your ability to teach from lived experience rather than inherited language alone. Your presence becomes clearer. Your sensitivity sharpens. Your capacity to read energy, hold space, and guide from a more embodied place begins to expand.


Many teachers leave trainings knowing what to do. This work is about becoming more deeply attuned to how you are as a practitioner.

What if i can't join live?

No problem. Every masterclass is recorded and uploaded to the Sun Rise Sangha platform, so if you can’t join live, you can practice in your own time.


You’ll have full access to all sessions for 12 months via desktop or app, so whether you attend live each week or move through the immersion at your own pace, you’ll still receive the full experience.

How long will I have access to the course material?

Whether you join live or move through the replay library in your own time, you’ll receive 12 months of full access from the point your access begins, giving you a full year to revisit, integrate, and return to all course material via desktop or app.

Do i need to be a member of Sun Rise Sangha to join?

No. You do not need to be a Sun Rise Sangha member to join The Illuminated Teacher.


You can simply purchase this course on its own and access it through the same beautiful platform our members use, via desktop or app.


For existing Sun Rise Sangha members, you’ll see this course seamlessly alongside all of your other content inside the platform.

And if you join the course first and later decide you’d like to become a full Sun Rise Sangha member, you can always upgrade.

What is your Refund Policy?

We do not offer refunds. We encourage everyone to join mindfully and to commit to the experience once they step inside.
