Why this training?

While many of us start yoga for its awesome physical benefits, at some point we want more than just the basics of classes. We want to understand the anatomy behind what we are doing. We want to to master handstand. We want to know what poses are good for energizing or managing stress and anxiety. At some point, we also know that yoga is changing us – making us kinder, happier, less reactionary. So, what’s all that about? What’s going on on my yoga mat that’s making me a better person elsewhere? We’ll explore all of this and more in this powerful, hands-on 2 month immersion. Plan to participate fully. The program offers the opportunity not only expand your yoga practice, but engage in personal exploration to leave you with real, practical tools to enliven your whole life.

Who is this program for?

The program is perfect for those who love yoga and want to learn more about the full package of yoga, from asana, to a taste of Sanskrit, to a touch of Ayurveda and a study of the 8 limbs.
