THE KULA PATH
The Kula Path describes the journey from RYT200 Yoga Teacher to Kula Facilitator, with many places to pause along the way.
Even if you do not have the intention to become a lead facilitator for Kula Offerings, the Kula Path can help you reach your potential as a conscious facilitator of Yoga and Holistic Health. At every step along the Kula Path you will be encouraged to step into your own power, share your light and allow your magnificent gifts to emerge.

Honing our skills as facilitators

The Kula Collective Facilitation Intensive is designed to open participants to the nuances of group facilitation, including pedagogy, mediation, problem solving, creative workshops and energetic space-holding. The purpose of this training is to help evolve participants’ natural teaching and space-holding skills into a holistic awareness of the needs of their particular class or workshop, developing them into high-level, conscious Facilitators. The Facilitation Intensive uses the facilitation of a YTT or yoga workshop as an example, offering skills and tools applicable to facilitating in a variety of contexts.

Second Step:
Apprenticeship 1
Work & Service + Observation
Apprenticeship 1
Work & Service + Observation
|
This is an opportunity to learn through experience, stepping into a role alongside our passionate and talented Facilitator team. Typically, the Llank’ay apprenticeship will be a watching and learning as a 'shadow' role. The roles that the apprentice takes on within the first apprenticeship can vary depending on the Facilitation Team. The Llankay apprentice is encouraged but not required to share classes depending on their specialties and experience. For the first training, Llank’ays are asked to be present during the entirety of an RYT200 training, including Facilitator meetings. We will send the 200hr manual in pdf form, and Llankays will arrive prepared with pre-readings and familiarity with the cirriculum that the Lead Facilitator requires. This includes but is not limited to the Kula Flow. During the training, we invite you to share your insight wherever possible, and to commit to maintaining the energetic space at the highest vibration possible. The goal of the Llank'ay is to be a “go between” between the students and the facilitator team. Llank’ay apprentices are only asked to cover their Room & Board for the duration of the training.

Apprenticeship 2
Knowledge & Wisdom + Active Participation
Apprenticeship 2
Knowledge & Wisdom + Active Participation
|
Wisdom, the impersonal application of knowledge. Shamanic yachai is the wisdom of open spaces. There is nothing out there for you to discover because it is already known. The power of intellect grounded in experience. The attribute of wisdom that involves acquiring knowledge beyond intellectual understanding.
Upon the completion of the Llank’ay apprenticeship, the apprentice may be invited to assist in a second offering. In this second experience, apprentices will be encouraged to share classes and workshops in all aspects of the training, especially those aspects that were not shared in their first apprenticeship experience. The Yanchay apprentice is focused on gaining the experience to step into a co-facilitator role. In this step, apprentices will receive $750 from Kula Collective to help cover R&B, travel, or any other expenses. At the completion of this experience, we expect Yachays to be able to fully lead all aspects of a 200hr Kula YTT. |

Munai Co-Facilitator
Love & Beauty + Spiritual Connection

As a Munai, the Co-facilitator will work equally with the Lead Facilitator to create a safe space for the students as well as present all required materials and classes. Munais are expected to share through their own knowledge and wisdom, as well as drawing on their experiences from the Kula Path.
