Families of poses, how they relate to each other, and how to build each one from the ground up. You'll practice with props from the start, so every pose has more than one way in.

We teach anatomy inside the poses it belongs to. The weekend you learn standing poses, you learn the foot, ankle, and knee. The weekend you go upside down, you learn the nervous system. You feel it in your own body first, so it stays with you every time you cue.

You'll teach your first pose on day one and keep teaching all the way through. Voice, pacing, presence, and the small choices that make a cue land, with honest, supportive feedback every weekend.

Build a class with an arc: warming the body toward a peak, holding a theme without forcing it, and landing everyone gently at the end. You'll design a full 60-minute class of your own and teach it.

Pranayama, meditation, and yoga nidra, practiced long enough that you can teach them from experience. Plus the bandhas, koshas, and chakras as a living map, alongside the physiology of breath.

Read the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita slowly, over months, with a teacher who has lived with them for decades. Learn to pronounce what you teach, and to weave philosophy into a class in a way that feels honest.

Consent-based hands-on assists, creative use of props, and how to teach pregnant students, older students, bigger bodies, injuries, and everyone in between.

The responsibility that comes with holding a room. Power and boundaries, scope of practice, trauma-aware language, and honoring the lineage this practice comes from.

The practical side most people have to figure out alone: pricing, insurance, contracts, writing your bio, and finding your first classes.
