Focus of Study
Philosophy: History of Yoga and Teachings of Wisdom from the Ancient Yoga Texts
Foundational Base for Teaching: Ashtanga Yoga/Vinyasa Yoga
CORE AREAS OF FOCUS:
Asana Exploration - Evaluating over 100 Postures and Delving Deeply Into Proper Alignment, Energetic Properties, Modifications, Contraindications and Benefits, Safe and Meaningful Hands-On Adjustments, Anatomy for Yoga
Vinyasa - Intelligent and Effective Sequencing of Asanas to Create a Balanced Flow, Seamless Transitions Between Asanas, Understanding How Pranayama Guides Movement from Asana to Asana

The heart of yoga is about relationships. During the training time, you will become an integral part of our studio that will hopefully continue for many years beyond. All students will be assigned a teacher to act as their own personal “mentor” and be partnered up with another student in the teacher training program as a “buddy”.
