Why Yoga Well?
This is the most important question! With so many options available to you, hereās what we sets us apart from other Yoga Programs:
The Yoga Well Institute is one of the only Viniyoga Institutions in North America. Our Founder, Chase Bossart, was a personal student of Mr. TKV Desikachar for over 20 years. He founded the Yoga Well Institute as a space where Mr. Desikacharās teachings could live on in North America and Beyond.Ā
We focus on explaining not only how Yoga works, but why it works. Through down-to-earth explanations of philosophy we provide the context of Yoga practice, what is designed to do, how and why. This truly opens the door for students to go deeper in their practice and their life!Ā
Our teachings take place within an intellectual container of authentic, coherent Yoga teachings that explain Yoga as a Life Path, and present Yogaās understanding on almost every aspect of being human.Ā
Most importantly, we practice what we teach. We are a community of practitioners, each guided by their teacher.Ā
