Course Details

5 blocks of 6 week sessions.

Each level builds on the previous 6 week block.

Develop mobility and comfort in your body as you move into stillness.

Classes are taught similarly to a college course. I recommend keeping a notebook to track your own progress. Yoga Notes & Meditation Journal is designed to work with this curriculum. Even if you are an athlete or have taken mixed level yoga classes in the past, this course must start at the beginning. It is important to move through these postures intentionally and with the nuance added throughout the course instruction. You can go through the lessons at whatever pace best suits you.

Foundations 1

A strong foundation is necessary for a successful practice! After you have completed Breath and Basics, continue with this course.

Here, I will teach you how to find comfort in the discomfort of mobility limitations. You will receive instruction on focused postures for that week and notes for your home practice. This allows you to create space within your life as well as properly develop your skills without injury.

Foundations II

If you have completed Foundations 1, this is your next step!

This course will build quickly on the work you did during the foundations class. We will go deeper into how the postures progress and how to adapt for your body. Meditation also becomes a bigger part of your daily practice so you can learn how to “calm the monkey mind” and create calm awareness. The goal is to cultivate peace through discipline. You will receive the same focused attention, guidance and notes for your home practice.

Intermediate 1

If you have completed all 12 weeks of Foundations, you are ready for this course.

This class is when your home practice will really take shape just for You. You will continue to learn new asanas and that the previous 12 weeks of practice has prepared your body to successfully achieve. We will progress your breath work and add some more meditations to your personal medicine bag. 

Intermediate II

Either to keep you strong, flexible and in a peaceful mental state, or to compliment other athletic disciplines in your life.
