Kindred Yoga is 30 weeks of yoga curriculum that starts where you are and guides you into improved mobility. Moving into stillness is a way of teaching you to focus on the nuanced movement with proper breath and thoughtful connection to your body. Over time, my goal for your practice is improved alignment, discipline, and various meditation techniques. This course is 5 levels of 6 week blocks of classes to get you there.

Why Kindred Yoga?

I’m Allison Kindred Cunningham and I will teach you what I have studied for decades. This curriculum starts with postures you can already achieve, and forces you to create time in your daily routine for your practice. The basics are always apart of a yoga practice because the human body exists in many states at the same time. Once you can comfortably move through your discomfort, we will expand and progress until you understand how to move into intentional stillness.

How will it benefit you to start where you are?

Yoga is a mental, physical, and spiritual discipline created through meditative movement. Your mind focuses on the breath and the posture, which slowly quiets the noise that creeps into thoughts. Starting with achievable postures for *most* bodies allows you the freedom to explore your practice as you learn. Slow progress must start with postures you can physically do, or you will not do it, let alone repeat it. The way you practice can and will reveal to you the ways your mobility is evolving. Moving into stillness the term I use for the way your breath and focus cultivate the best posture your body can achieve.

What else should I know?

The entire course is 5 levels; Foundations 1, Foundations 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced. Each level builds on the previous one. So, commitment to your practice is essential. You can view notes in the course as a PDF or I recommend that you treat it like any other class – write the details you relate to most in a journal. Any journal will work! I designed Yoga Notes to go along with this course but it is just a suggestion. Watch and study each posture until you feel comfortable with it. Commit to Do The Work! Practice everyday. The first week is only a few minutes long to help you find the time in your day. You will create improvement through consistency.
