Many people ask themselves: How do I actually become a Jivamukti yoga teacher? Perhaps you already practise yoga, have already completed another training course or are simply enthusiastic about the Jivamukti method. The path to becoming a Jivamukti yoga instructor leads through various training levels - from the first introduction to the advanced exam.
