THE YOGA OF PURPOSE

10-week virtual training that explores the system of yoga and brings your {sacred} work forward into the world...

Your yoga practice has sacred value to you. It’s the space where you feel most whole + complete - and you want to make this practice & feeling accessible to others.  

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Maybe you’ve been dabbling in workshops and retreats to deepen your practice, or, you’ve even taken a full teacher training.  You’ve gained something every time you unroll your mat but you’re hungry for more.  You want to go deeper into the philosophy of yoga and pass the wisdom you’ve found within yourself through your practice on to others in a way that is clear and succinct.

  • You’ve practiced yoga for a long time and are struggling with injury or emotional pain you cannot heal (and you want to gain an understanding of anatomy, alignment, physiology or dig into the psychological shifts that occur on the mat so that you heal yourself and grow stronger)

  • You’ve hit a crossroads in life and are re-evaluating what is important in a rapidly changing time (and you feel compelled to dive into the deeper aspects of yoga to explore why it feels so amazing to you and uncover IF sharing yoga might be part of evolution in life)

  •   You’re a public servant working in your community with children or under-served communities, OR your family or coworkers are constantly asking about your practice and (you want simple but tangible techniques you can share with others no matter their fitness level) 

  • You took a teacher training but haven’t put it to work and feel re-inspired (but you want to teach in a way that is simple, clear, and can impact your students the way yoga has impacted you)

  • You are teaching already, but your training didn’t cover everything you think you need (and you want to add depth to your classes by understanding the science behind the practice and learning ways to integrate science into the soul) 

  • You’re ready to shake up the status quo, whether in work, love or social life (and you know the power of yoga can help you step out in a brave and courageous way as you create a life that is authentic and free)

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:

  • You’ll tap into a vast exploration of yoga, including asana but go beyond the asana to find new ways of practicing that encourage continued growth

  • You’ll dive into the history of yoga and touch on what’s often ignored, like how Hindu mythology fits into the philosophy and how British rule changed the course of yoga.

  • You’ll experience practices with themes that explore yoga philosophy led by different teachers which serve as tangible examples of how to combine asana + philosophy and how to use your authentic voice to impact your students or those you serve.

  • Each module is designed to be as tangible as possible, including more esoteric things like meditation and energy work and to provide quick, repeatable ways to incorporate these elements into your work.

  • You’ll learn ways to adapt to common challenges you or your students face on the mat so you can be confident in meeting them (and yourself) where you are.

  • You will be given the freedom to move through the program from home, at your own pace, but with live, scheduled checks-ins to keep you on task.

  • You can apply each module’s techniques right away and have real world examples of how to practice or lead a class in non-traditional environments outside of the studio setting. 

  • You will be joining an environment that encourages you to experience, embody, expand and to dig deeper into your own experiences to verbalize exactly what yoga means to you.

  • We prioritize cultivating a diverse community and believe the best learning environment is one that includes different ethnicities, ages, skill levels and even religious beliefs. 

  • We amplify voices that have traditionally been oppressed or dismissed. This allows us ALL to learn and grow together.
