Surya Namaskar is far more than a warm-up — it’s a complete practice that integrates breath, body, and mind.

On Nov 8, join Teddy Hyndman for a full-day Core Curriculum TTP workshop that deepens your skill in teaching and practicing Sun Salutations, including safe alignment, variations for every body, and how to prepare and counterbalance the sequence intelligently.

We’ll also explore Ujjayi (Victorious Breath), the roots of Ta**ra, and how mantra becomes a doorway into stillness and inner focus.

If you’re upgrading, in TTP, or ready to refine your understanding of this foundational sequence, this workshop will elevate your teaching and your practice.
Spots are limited — register now to secure your place.
