An Experiential Approach to Learning

This program invites you to learn through experiencing the multifaceted system of yoga, beyond yoga asana. It invites you to step into new aspects of mastery. In yoga, a teacher remains a dedicated student, forever learning and growing into unfolding possibilities.

A key aspect of embracing yoga is embracing what is arising in the present moment. Meeting what is with understanding and compassion. Throughout this journey of learning and growing you discover new foundations to move towards your unique expression.

This program is open to all levels of mobility. Don’t worry if you’re body isn’t “bendy” “strong” or “buff.” Yoga is best when you release the “why not’s” and embrace what is possible. Surprisingly wonderful things happen when we loosen the reins on life.
