Organized and led by founder and lead trainer Grant Ifflander, the Keepers of the Earth Teacher Training Course, or the KotE 200 Hour YTT, is a Yoga Alliance certified, one-of-a-kind journey and deep dive into the essence of spirituality – transformation. We know that to become truly embodied leaders and spiritual teachers in this line of work – Yoga – our work must be done at the deepest of levels. Thus, the KotE YTT was birthed… out of a need to help devoted practitioners forge themselves anew in the fires of legitimate practice (sadhana) and become respected leaders in their field and community…

The Lakshmi Rising Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program is unique, transformative, and highly regarded worldwide, with trainings held in Costa Rica, Verona, Italy, South of France, and Costa Brava-Barcelona, Spain throughout the year.
