You didn’t become a yoga teacher to feel unsure.

You became a teacher to create impact.
To help people feel something real.
To lead with clarity and confidence.

And at a certain point, many teachers realize they’re ready for more hands-on refinement.
More feedback.
More space to practice, ask questions, and grow in real time.

That’s where this comes in.

ELEVATE: The Yoga Teaching Lab
A 25-hour immersive experience focused on:

• Sequencing that flows with intention
• Cueing that connects
• Seeing bodies with more clarity
• Leading a room with grounded presence

This is a space to develop your voice as a teacher
through practice, guidance, and real-time support.

(This is the support I wish I had.
After years of teaching across the U.S., Mexico, and Africa,
I’ve seen what truly helps us grow: as people and as guides🫶🏽)

Early rate: $585 (before May 12)
Spots are intentionally limited.

Wheel Yoga Fundamentals
with Dov (Yogi Varuna)
Saturday, February 28 | 4–6 PM

This two-hour workshop explores the yoga wheel as a precise tool for improving spinal mobility, thoracic extension, shoulder mechanics, and core integration.

Modern posture (driving, screens, sitting) often limits thoracic extension and shoulder flexion. The yoga wheel provides structured, supported feedback along the spine, helping you:

• Restore healthy extension through the thoracic spine
• Decompress and mobilize the vertebral column
• Strengthen deep core stabilizers during controlled backbending
• Improve scapular mobility and shoulder overhead range
• Develop safer mechanics for poses like Wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana), Dropbacks, and other heart openers

Rather than forcing flexibility, this workshop focuses on intelligent load, muscular engagement, and breath-supported expansion. You will learn how to create space without collapsing into the lumbar spine, how to distribute extension evenly, and how to build strength to support mobility.

Expect clear anatomical cueing, progressive sequencing, and hands-on refinements.

This workshop is appropriate for students with a regular yoga practice - all levels of experience - who want to deepen their understanding of mechanics and sustainable movement.

Space is limited to allow for individualized attention.
Pre-registration required.

Soul Movement

Soul Movement is an invitation to meet your body in a way that’s less about poses or choreography—and more about sensation, curiosity, and freedom.

Blending guided improvisational movement, meditation, and imaginative prompts, this class encourages you to listen inward and follow what your body wants to do moment by moment. We explore fluidity and strength, ease and effort, rhythm, weight, and instinct—moving in ways that feel nourishing, expressive, and alive.

Rather than focusing on how movement looks, Soul Movement centers on how it feels. There’s no right or wrong, no mirrors, and no pressure to perform—just space to expand your range of motion, release held energy, and experience the quiet catharsis of being fully in your body.

Movement can be deeply regulating, clarifying, and healing. This is a space to shake off the week, reconnect to yourself, and move in a way that supports your nervous system and overall wellbeing.

Please bring socks (grippy or cozy) so you can move comfortably and explore.
