Jenna Franseen speaks of her experience in Chrysalis Yoga Shala AcademyTeacher Training:

“200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Carol Sele at Chrysalis Yoga Shala was a transformative experience.  Carol crafts the training to prepare us for teaching several practices of yoga (including vinyasa, yin, and Ashtanga) as well as a wide breadth of information across history, practice, safety, business management, anatomy, and more.  There is a balance between readings, videos, homework assignments, quizzes, in-person teacher practice, and lecture.  The in-person class structure gives the time and space to dive deeply into these topics, as well as Carol engaging the amazing strengths and gifts from teachers at Chrysalis to “guest lecture” and share their perspectives and yoga journey.  She also makes it a supportive environment where you review a concept, practice with a partner, and then practice teaching with your whole YTT class so that you get more and more comfortable teaching as you go.  The final capstone of designing a yoga class was challenging in the most beautiful way, and you get to share it with your class.  Carol’s feedback is always constructive and setting you up for success as a yoga instructor.  I loved learning and deepening my practice, and I loved being able to start to apply what I learned as a substitute yoga teacher at the studio before the Navy moved us elsewhere.  I am beyond grateful that I took the training with Carol, and I am excited what the future holds for my yoga journey.”

who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.”

Happy 150th bday Carl Gustav Jung. Born on July 26, 1875 🎂

Carl Jung did engage with yoga, particularly during a personal and professional crisis following his break with Freud. He utilized yoga to manage intense emotions and calm his nerves. While he didn’t incorporate yoga into his core psychological practice, he acknowledged its potential benefits and saw it as a subject for study, particularly in relation to his work on the collective unconscious and the tension of opposites.

This is the quote of his we focused on in practice this morning:

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are”.

From our Spirit Sunday class this morning:

LOVE DOES THAT

All day long a little b***o labors, sometimes with heavy loads
on her back

and sometimes just with worries
about things that bother only
b***os.

And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting than physical labor.

Once in a while a kind monk comes
to her stable and brings a pear, but morethan that,

he looks into the b***o’s eyes and touches her ears

and for a few seconds the b***o is free
and even seems to laugh,

because love does
that.

Love frees.

Matt Hamm (In shoulderstand):

“As someone who has been living with arthritis and chronic knee pain, I never thought I would find myself writing a review for a yoga studio - but here I am.

When I first stepped onto the mat three years ago, I was stiff, sore, and a bit skeptical. From day one, the amazing instructors didn’t push or judge but rather they listened - always offering poses as suggestions with a focus on progress over perfection.

Chrysalis Yoga Shala is grounded in the 8 limbs of yoga, which means it’s more than physical - it’s has been transformational for my body and mind.

If you are a veteran like me or anyone navigating chronic pain, injury, or emotional exhaustion, don’t write yoga off. You might walk in looking for relief, but if you are open, you might just walk out transformed.”
