The ISHTA Yoga teacher training is a yoga immersion designed to deepen your own practice and your own understanding of yoga first. Many trainees enroll in the program without plans to teach. The in-depth experience of yoga will be life changing for you regardless of your future intentions.

This training will be taught by Yogiraj Alan Finger, ISHTA teacher training director Sarah Platt-Finger, Yoga Life’s Joanne and Drew Kane, Ellen Klein, Dena Vigilis and other senior teachers. This training is a great opportunity for yogis and yoginis to deepen their yoga practice, knowledge of philosophy, anatomy and asana and broaden their experiences.

Alan Finger
began studying yoga at the age of 16 in South Africa with his father Kavi Yogi Swarananda Mani Finger. He rose every morning and practiced Asana and Tantra meditations for three hours. Finger was enthralled with the mystical world around him as his father transformed their home into an ashram and hosted some of the most renowned gurus of the last 100 years. Seeking to integrate and celebrate the different teachings and lineages that passed through their doors, Mani and Alan created ISHTA Yoga. ISHTA aims to give each student an understanding of how to incorporate aspects from Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda practices in a way that best suits their individual paths. The combination of breath work, physical exercise and meditation create a deeper level of overall fitness and wellbeing.

Alan came to the United States in 1975, founding Yoga Works in Los Angeles and Yoga Zone in New York. He has created a number of videos and written several books including: Yoga Zone: An Introduction to Yoga, Yoga For Life, and Chakra Yoga. He most recently opened ISHTA Yoga Center in NYC in 2008.
