Co-Facilitator

Mission and Methodology

Our program is designed to deepen your knowledge of the science of yoga and its positive effects on our mental and physical well-being. This training moves beyond poses, as we'll deeply explore the nervous system, mind-body connection, breath control (pranayama), and meditation techniques. We’ll also dive into yoga philosophy and the subtle (energetic) body.

As we study asana, the physical practice of yoga, we'll cover anatomy, alignment principles, safe pose transitions, and yoga accessibility. You'll leave the training capable of designing intelligent yoga sequences that make sense physically and mentally. Additionally, you'll be equipped to confidently explain the intentional why behind any sequence or class you create.

Our mission is to compassionately support and challenge you on this journey that can change and impact how you show up in the world for yourself and others. You'll simultaneously be inspired by and an inspiration to your new community!
