COVID UPDATE: Due to constantly shifting rules from Yoga Alliance regarding virtual trainings, the Om Fairy immersions have been paused in 2020 & 2021.
Recent changes from YA will allow virtual training to continue through 2023. Now that a longer-term plan is in place, new dates for the virtual Om Fairy immersions will be coming soon.
Soma registration opens March 1st!

Immersions

your intuition * Innate wisdom * radical trust

The Om Fairy School of Yoga is more than just a teacher training, it is an immersion into creating a radiant lifestyle based on developing intuition you can trust. These immersions are designed for enthusiastic, dedicated practitioners of yoga to dive deep into its benefits. We will approach the yoga practice as a ritual for providing health, intuition, and empowerment in your life. These rituals and routines are not just for the sake of adhering to ancient philosophy. We will look at the modern research that will provide you with the knowledge of how these practices entrain your brain and body to best serve you. Understanding how yoga effects your physiology will create an even deeper craving to incorporate yogic and ayurvedic practices into your life, providing you with grounded, centered contentment. The focus on bridging these Eastern practices with the Western approach to evidence-based research will provide you with the knowledge to articulate why these ancient methods work in modern-day language, though in time you’ll also learn to simply trust the process.

Beyond keeping the body and mind healthy, the Om Fairy School of Yoga will teach you how to uncover your true passions, to navigate transformation and change with trust, and how to use these daily routines to evolve your life. The focus is on maintaining a balance between the seemingly esoteric yoga traditions and maintaining a life in the real world we live in. You will learn to make what you do sacred, not a chore to trudge through, and not a prescriptive practice. You will develop an intimate connection with the inner wisdom that lives in all of us.

These immersions are for the serious student who would like to deepen their knowledge of yoga and their personal practice, and for those who want to share the yoga practice with others if you find it is a part of your purpose. You will be fully supported as you discover how to tap into your own wisdom, your own intuition, and develop a radical trust in the divine guidance that exists within you. You will discover your inner Om Fairy.

MEET COURTNEY

Courtney Krishnamurthy, ERYT-500 & Ayurvedic Wellness Coach

Courtney Krishnamurthy is the founder of Om Fairy, and she has been practicing yoga for over two decades. A self-taught yogi for many years, she found the yoga practice helped her quiet her mind and discover a deeper level of clarity as she shifted from her days in fine art school to working in advertising technology. One day she decided to get serious about understanding what was happening in her body during her yoga practice, and from there she fell down the rabbit hole of anatomy, biomechanics, yoga philosophy, tantra, ayurveda, sound healing, and so much more. After years of learning, studying, and questioning all aspects of the yoga practice, she decided a little faith and trust goes a long way when coupled with the knowledge she has gathered. Courtney created the Om Fairy School of Yoga not only to share the practices that make the most difference in our health and happiness, but to empower each and every person to uncover the innate wisdom they embody, and learn to hear and trust their own inner guidance.
