Upcoming Masterclass Series: Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga

Coming Up: Jan 22-Feb 12, Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga

Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga is a 4-week series aimed at exploring in-depth the history and philosophy of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, and how to incorporate these ancient teachings into your modern life. We will meet online via Zoom for the first 3 Wednesdays from 5:30-7pm for lecture on the day’s topic, a guided meditation of the teachings, group discussion, and to receive tools and assignments to incorporate into your day-to-day…

The final week we will meet in person at a location TBD (San Diego) for *The Samadhi Experience*! A 2.5 hour event including: a yoga practice, breath work, yoga nidra meditation, reiki, sound bowl healing, and much more!!! This final event will bring together your online group to experience and dive into the 8 Limbs together and to fully embody them. You will go home with a gift to encourage continuing your exploration of these philosophies.

All lectures and guided meditations will be recorded so you can keep them forever and join from anywhere! Even our Samadhi Experience can be Zoomed! Yoga teachers will be given guidance throughout this immersion on how to incorporate these topics into your own yoga classes, and receive 7 CEU’s from Yoga Alliance.

 

I will be offering early bird pricing for this program through Wednesday Jan 8; there is limited space available.

Community + Connection

As I reflect back on my professional creations, I feel like this year has shown me how important making time for community and connection truly is. I knew this already, but sometimes it felt like there was too much going on to really embrace it.

Because of this realization, I have decided to focus my attention in a few different ways. I am going to take a break from international retreats … just for 2020. I’m taking everything one step at a time, and I think stepping away from the international retreat planning will provide me space to do more for my community. Not forever, just for a year … and I’m excited to see what I can do with this extra time!

Something I am really passionate about is holding space for educational and experiential events. To truly grow we need to learn and be able to implement the things we learn into our day-to-day lives. I am hoping to bring my love for philosophy, subtle body, and meditation into a more accessible light for my students. I plan to do this in the way of local retreats, workshops, events, community gatherings at different studios and outdoor spaces, and finally: with a live online course!

Experiencing the Subtle Side of Yoga is a piece of my very excited and fulfilled heart. This 8-week interactive online course will gather a group of students to meet on Zoom every Wednesday evening from 6-7:30pm to enjoy a short lecture/group discussion on a certain topic, to experience a guided meditation tapping into the topic internally, and assignments to complete throughout the week to make sense of the topic within YOU and implement meditation into your day-to-day life. Topics will include (but not limited to): Chakras, Koshas, Mudras, Mantras, Elements, Pranayama.

I have spent years studying, researching, implementing, creating, and BEING in the yoga space, and have pulled together my most inspired and life changing mindfulness experiences into this container. Yes, I will offer my knowledge and give you tools and information to feel into your deepest layers…but I expect that those who join me will be ready to put in the effort to ask questions, to acknowledge that the homework is for their own growth and development, and to be kind and loving and constructive within the group to HELP EACH OTHER grow as well. We are all in this life together, and I’m excited to help facilitate these ancient teachings to students and teachers alike.

I could talk about this all day, but rather I will save the rest of my excited speech for those who are feeling called to study with me in this way. Email me for the full schedule, what’s included in our time together, and how we can work together ◡̈.

 

I’m excited and humbled to be of service, Namaste <3.

What’s Coming Up …

I have some exciting things coming up (online continuing education course, another retreat, and workshops) — Sign up for my newsletter to find out what I’m planning and how you can join me! Link on Home page 🙂

 

Until then, if you’re in San Diego and want to join me for an afternoon of exploring the energy body: Learn how to observe, experience and benefit from understanding the different layers of our energetic bodies. We will explore the koshas in a supportive learning environment, enjoy a gentle yin/yang practice infused with reiki touch and essential oils, including a lecture portion and guided meditation, pranayama, and journaling/group discussion.

Investment: $40 (bring a friend, and pay $35 each!)

Why Should You Take a Yoga Teacher Training? I’m Glad You Asked …

There are so many reasons to take a teacher training! I may be biased, because YTT changed my life and my co-teachers and I have spent years and years making this program as amazing as we can. BUT if you need a little more convincing, here are some reasons why you should take a Yoga Teacher Training with me and Daniela Kent (and amazing guest teachers) at Spirit Yoga this summer:

If you don’t want to teach but want to elevate your own practice…

An immersive YTT experience can help you:
– Refine your understanding of yoga postures to maximize benefits
– Familiarize yourself with more complex and subtle aspects of yoga practice such as breathwork and meditation
– Introduce you to yoga philosophy that can empower you to make transformational shifts in your lifestyle
– Connect with a group of like-minded people and form community on and off the mat

If you have already taken a 200 hour program but have yet to find your voice…

An immersive YTT experience can help you:
– Brush up on your understanding of yoga asana from a functional point of view
– Deepen your understanding of the subtle body and how to integrate different layers of yoga instruction
– Learn effective and appropriate assists to enhance your ability to help your students reach their goals
– Explore creative and intelligent sequencing and teaching techniques
– Connect to the Spirit Yoga community and mock for our Sat 5:30p Level 1 donation class

Come from anywhere and staycation or vacation for 3 weeks in beautiful San Diego as we tap into Yoga and the many aspects of the yogic lifestyle.

This program runs June 10-29, meets 6 days a week to complete 200 hours of training. You will be able to register with Yoga Alliance and safely/effectively teach vinyasa yoga to those around you! Early bird pricing of $1995 is until April 30th only!!! Then it’s still only $2395 but who doesn’t love to save a few hundred bucks?

Contact me to apply 🙂
