Over 8 Modules (each Module is 50-75 minutes), we’ll explore the richness of Yoga that extends beyond the poses and breathing exercises in practice; what it means to be in a state of Yoga off the mat; and what a state of Yoga even means to begin with!
Come to understand the context of Yoga as it has been passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years.

Yoga is an experiential process – it is meant to be experienced and embodied with regular practice. Change works best if it is gradual and incremental.
We encourage our students to rewatch previous lessons, reflect on the concepts taught, and ask questions or begin discussions in our private online community for peer and teacher support.
Stop doing Yoga and start living it.
