The Sankalpa Method
Deepen your teaching, refine your language, and reconnect to the heart of why you guide others.
Our Sankalpa Method Continuing Education series is designed for yoga teachers who want to grow with intention, skill, and integrity. These immersive trainings focus on intelligent sequencing, precise cueing, embodiment, philosophy, and the subtle art of holding space—so your teaching not only improves technically, but resonates more deeply with your students.
The Sankalpa Method emphasizes teaching from purpose (sankalpa), helping you:
Clarify your voice as a teacher
Enhance student experience through thoughtful language and sequencing
Refine your ability to read the room and respond skillfully
Reset your own practice and teaching energy to avoid burnout
A Rare Opportunity
Train with Jimmy Barkan
Join us for an extraordinary weekend of master classes led by one of the most influential teachers in modern hot yoga. This is a rare chance for both trainees and the broader community to study with a teacher whose decades of experience have shaped the practice as we know it today. Expect depth, clarity, humor, and a profound respect for the discipline of yoga.
Jimmy Barkan is a Master Yoga Teacher, certified at Ghosh’s College of India in Calcutta in 1981. A true pioneer of hot yoga in the United States, Jimmy practiced three to four times daily under the guidance of Bikram Choudhury and later earned the distinction of Bikram Yoga’s Most Senior Teacher—an achievement attained by very few.
In 1983, Jimmy also received Kriya Yoga initiation through Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self-Realization Fellowship, deepening his lifelong commitment to yoga as both a physical and spiritual practice.
Participants may register for individual master classes or attend the full weekend experience. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the integrity of the learning environment.
