Wandering Ashram
Yoga & Meditation School
Breathe. Relax. Feel. Watch. Allow.
Wandering Ashram Yoga & Meditation School is a globally rooted, 5 Star Yoga Alliance-registered RYS 200 and RYS 500 school dedicated to accessible, inclusive, and transformative education in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. Grounded in the principles of Kripalu Yoga and inspired by the traditions of Ayurveda, contemporary yoga, and mindfulness the school emphasizes trauma-informed, adaptive teaching for all populations.
The heart of Wandering Ashram lies in its name—a reflection of its origin story. The school was born in a small dance studio in Germany in 2015 when its founder, Kathy Glaser (ERYT 500, YACEP), sought a space to share yoga while living abroad. What began as a borrowed space grew into an international school without walls, holding classes and teacher trainings in Germany, Italy, and throughout the United States. From yoga studios to military bases, community centers to nature retreats, the school embraces the philosophy that practice can happen anywhere—and belongs to everyone.
Wandering Ashram offers 200-hour, and 300-hour teacher training programs designed to meet students where they are, both physically and spiritually. With a curriculum that blends ancient wisdom with contemporary application, students gain the tools to teach with compassion, confidence, and authenticity. All offerings are grounded in a mindful, heart-centered approach, supporting personal growth and professional development.
Wandering Ashram Yoga & Meditation School is more than a place—it’s a movement toward living skillfully, teaching consciously, and building community through the timeless practices of yoga and meditation.
Wandering Ashram Yoga & Meditation School has certified yoga teachers that now teach across the globe from Germany, Italy, Belgium, Kuwait, Korea, Japan and across the United States from California to Rhode Island. We are literally all Wandering Yogis!

Student /Teacher Reviews
For anyone thinking of obtaining their teacher training I can not stress looking into the Wandering Ashram Yoga & Meditation School enough. My life has changed in the best ways. I never expected to learn so much about yoga and myself through this journey. I had only heard amazing reviews about Kathy and her school and she does not disappoint. She makes sure everyone of her students upholds the Yoga Alliance standards and helps them along the way. Kathy makes herself available to all throughout and after their yoga training. Choosing this school was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I love the journey I am on and know I will always hold a special place for the Wandering Ashram in my heart.
-Lauren P.
Wonderful school & teacher! It was the best experience to learn from someone who embodies Yoga every single day. I'm so blessed to have this teacher who is so inspiring & excited to share her knowledge & expertise. I would do it all over again if I could. Best decision I ever made was to commit to this training with Wandering Ashram.

I would say to anyone considering taking YYT from Wandering Ashram Center for Yoga & Meditation DO IT. Whether or not you want to actually teach , DO IT. I was 58 when I took the course and thought I'd just DO IT for my self. I found a Love of self and the universe in yoga and through meditation that I could never have imagined before delving into all the exceptional readings required in YTT and in the group where the energy is so supportive and good. Good. I learned how to teach yoga and meditation. I learned how to deepen and enrich my personal practice. Those two things are why I initially attended. However I learned so much more. I grew so much. Kindness, acceptance and Love is rampant in Wandering Ashram. It truly has been one of the most educational, wonderful experiences of my life. I Love sharing all I learned ,and continue to learn with my students. I have gained a confidence born from the loving instruction of Kathy Glasers teaching. I must say I didn't think I could teach. Now I can not imagine not teaching. So if you are reading this wondering if you should go on this particular adventure with Kathy Glaser and The Wandering Ashram Center for Yoga & Meditation I say DO IT. Namaste

It was a life changing experience being a student in the Wandering Ashram Yoga and Meditation school. The design of the program combined with Kathy's knowledge, humor, leadership, and complete "buy in" to the practice of yoga led me to a deeper and more fulfilling personal practice and gave me the comprehensive tools to competently share the practice of yoga with others. Thank you SO MUCH Kathy for guiding me forward in this way! Jai Bagwan!
