THE YATRA SCHOOL
The seeds of knowledge we receive in yoga foster and grow into what we believe, how we react and who we become. Plant your seeds today.
To find a Master Teacher and then to take the opportunity to record their lessons, you too can be a master of your own mind. A strong king chooses not to control others minds, but to learn how to control their own. Our Yatra School is unique because you will have the opportunity to receive your teachings in a private intimate setting, focused upon your needs, your body, and your own thoughts with your own Master Teacher. Or join a group setting and form a “family”. This journey will be full of peace, wisdom, coziness, strength and awakenings. It truly is a life changing event.
Welcome to The Yatra School. The School for Spiritually Living. Our school is not just for those inspiriting to be a yoga teacher or even for those who like to practice the Hatha Yoga Postures (however we are a Registered Yoga Alliance 200 and 300 school/ 500 RYT school), we are a school for EVERYONE. The classes are for anyone desiring to know more about our bodies, our minds, our life. Through the sacred texts we learn how we can embrace a life that is spiritually infused, instead of being swallowed in the heaviness of everyday life and responsibilities.
Our school is unique in its approach. Unlike many programs where you must commit yourself to an entire month/year or follow a rigid attendance contract there is also a Private Route - allowing the student to control their own schedule, own personal yoga desires in a one on one setting. Imagine that!
The Yatra Center is your school hub with Allison Lindquist Cross (ERYT1000) as your Master Teacher. Allison has over 30 years’ experience in the field of spiritualty and yoga. She has taught over a thousand students and every single soul leaves her cradle of comfort and wisdom with a sense of peace, profound understanding of self and world knowledge, as well as the confidence to embrace all the aspects of yoga into their lives. Trained at both Barsana Dam Ashram and Hari Om Ashram, as well as induction as a Disciple to Paramahansa Yogananda, Allison will lead you on the Raja Teachings of Yoga (Ancient Texts, Chakra System, Anatomy of both physical and subtle body, Ancient Stories, Mantras and Sanskrit). Her private teachings are conducted at her “Ashram” (home yoga facility) and are kept small and intimate, allowing students the ability to feel “at home” while developing wisdom and cultivating their own yoga way of life. In addition, Allison teaches Group RYT 200/500 at various yoga studios throughout the year. No matter if you are doing it privately or in a group, you will have access to your own Master Teacher the entire way. Every student maintains control of their own personal goals, pace, commitments and discoveries! The program is non-denominational in the hatha yoga style. If choosing to teach we do anchor our focus upon a Yatra Outline (only in 200RYT), however this outline is fluid (allowing students to adapt a sequence that matches their personality and environmental setting).

Private Teacher Training
You can schedule a private RYT experience. It is just you and Alli. Traditionally, authentic yoga is tailored to the student’s individual body, emotional needs, mental tendencies, anatomical capabilities and disposition. And Master Teachers are those who have studied for a long period of time with right doctrines and right teachers. Alli Cross has studied at both Barsana Dam and Hari Om in Milan, Italy. She has over 30 years of wisdom, books, notes and stories to share, along with an unlimited pool of guidance to tap into when you are receiving your training. The environment is both relaxed and personal. The required 200 or 300 hours can be scheduled as week stretches, throughout several months - or compact and fast. It can work around your schedule. Many students love this route and find the personal journey with their own Master Teacher is truly life changing.
What are you waiting for? It is time to learn!

How Yoga Works by Michael Roach
Hot Yatra Yoga by Allison Lindquist
The Heart of Yoga by Desikachar
Yatra- A pilgrimage one takes to find their one essence of life. The journey is more important than the destination.
Yatra Yoga- The unification of physical, mental and spiritual components into one complete and powerful form. Within the core framework of a Yatra class, the student will find not only those aspects that make Yatra unique from any other style, but also a powerful incorporation of a traditional yoga practice. In this way, Yatra Yoga is ancient and simultaneously new in its approach. A single Yatra class will contain aspects of Kundalini, as chakras and energy systems within the body are awakened and utilized within poses. There is a hint of Ashtanga Yoga with Yatra’s heavy concentration upon breath work and its transformative power to cultivate peace of mind. Raja Yoga techniques housed with asanas guide students towards spiritual self-realization and control of the mind. Focus on correct alignment and execution of Asanas subtly reflects aspects of Iyengar Yoga principles. Hot Yatra balances these diverse elements with a unique infusion of spirituality based philosophy and a teaching format that makes Yatra, purely Your own Yatra. At the very core of the style, is a natural, proactive and approachable spirituality that taps into the tenants of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. The power of this holistic approach to yoga as it was intended to be practiced, transforms the practitioner as a whole person beyond the mat and into their life. At the heart of this practice, the student will not just survive a yoga class- they learn to rise to their life and shine. Students will learn how to teach both a Hot Yatra Yoga class and a non-heated Yatra class, vigorous and gentle sequences, as well as static postures and vinyasa postures.
