In this module we take an in-depth look at the worlds of capital "Y" and lowercase "y" Yogas across the spectrum of the ancient to modern landscape. We attempt to define what "Yoga" is and how to respectfully offer this ancient wisdom in the current climate of our world.
You can expect study on:

Deepen your understanding of alignment, sequencing, and advanced postures through a new lens. We will discuss the postures of the Pradipika and the evolution of the movement practice, ethical and safety responsibility as teacher, and work through languaging, sequencing and alignment through the eyes of the student.
Learn to truly create an autonomous space.
In this training “advanced” doesn’t mean “difficult, it means “holistic”. Teachers will have a new understanding of the way we approach and use asana.
Gain a better understanding of the traditional uses of asana and how to better use movement practices to create a space for healing.

In the meditation and advanced pranayama module, we work through personal practice exploring various styles of meditation and studying advanced pranayama techniques.
We also work through the application of these techniques with varying populations.


In recognition of the prevalence of trauma and trauma related physical and mental illness, we dive into the ancient approach to trauma and what that means for us as teachers and modern practitioners.
This module bridges the Eastern and Western world through Yogic and Buddhist philosophy and psychology and modern research in neuroscience studying pioneers like Van der Kolk and Mate.

Learn to use the tools of Ayurveda for personal practice and as a tool to create balancing and healing practices for your students.

The final in person weekend is a blend of special, retreat style practices and work on building your specific capstone project. This weekend is about personal practice, self care, contemplation, and working to understand the lived human experience of the future groups you want to work with.
