Our teaching style is experientially based - students learn by discussion, reading, demonstration, and other techniques and then reinforce the learning by applying what we have just learned. Each weekend students will build on the knowledge and experience gained in the weekends before and in home practice and homework reading. Our intention is to embody the yoga philosophy of awareness and to support you in your personal growth as both a yoga practitioner and yoga teacher.
