200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Summer Sprint
““This program transformed how I approach my mat. For the first time, I understand not just what I’m doing, but WHY I’m doing it.””
STOP PLAYING "SIMON SAYS" YOGA
Is this truly YOUR practice? Or are you just borrowing someone else's?
- Looking sideways when Sanskrit terms are called
- Pushing through poses that don't feel right
- Mumbling through mantras without understanding
- Mimicking shapes without feeling the energetics
- Calm on your mat, chaos in your daily life
- Practice begins and ends at the edge of your mat
- Compartmentalizing yoga as a physical workout
- Seeking perfection in poses rather than presence
- Understanding terminology and philosophy
- Confidently modifying to honor your body
- Connecting authentically with ancient wisdom
- Feeling the energetic purpose of each pose
- Living yogic principles both on and off the mat
- Integrating your practice into your daily life
- Seeing the world through the lens of yoga philosophy
- Finding presence and purpose in every situation
Your practice is how you see the world, not just how you see yourself in a pose.
