Yoga Vidya: Train, Immerse, Thrive

I little inspo on how to stay resolved and purposeful when the clamor gets really loud.

If the world feels like a dumpster fire, you’re not imagining it. The question is: how do we respond without burning out or checking out?

There. It's taken me a long time to actually say what follows, but I can't *not* share this:

The Yoga Vidya Advanced Studies Immersion & Teacher Training is a rare opportunity — and here’s why. There was a time when advanced trainings were more common. Teachers wanted depth. Schools offered it. Serious study was the norm.

Over time, that changed. Many programs disappeared because they couldn’t actually deliver more advanced content in a cohesive way. And students were told—directly or indirectly—that 200 hours was “enough.” But, I don’t agree.

Yoga was never meant to stop at poses or basic certification. It’s a lifelong path of inquiry, mastery, and transformation, and one that should be nurtured and guided, and not by a google search .

This training exists because I want to change that narrative.

Yoga Vidya is the longest-running and most respected advanced training in the area — built on decades of experience, lineage-based teachings, and real mentorship. No trends, fluff or hybridization. Just depth.

The Advanced Training is a year long program, one weekend per month with some virtual meet ups and lots of personal attention, community and support. It runs from Feb 2026-Feb 2027.

We go far beyond the physical practice, diving into:

• Yogic philosophy that actually shapes how you live

• Psychology and self-inquiry that create real change

• Spiritual practice that builds inner steadiness

• Ayurveda, yoga therapy, and advanced teaching skills

• The foundations and the deeper connections between them

This is about mastery, clarity and resilience — in your life and in how you serve others.

And yes, this will absolutely make you a better teacher. Not because you’ll know more poses — but because you’ll understand people, energy, patterns, spirit and the nervous system in a much deeper way.

If you can't commit to the whole thing, we are offering a la carte Modules on topics like Ta**ra Vidya, Ayurveda, Personal Practice, Advanced Teaching and more. Check out all the info Here

This is the final time I’ll be offering this training. If you’ve been waiting for the “right moment,” this may be it. If you want to talk it through, I’m here. Payment plans are available. We start in a few weeks.

Transform with 300-hour yoga training in Troy, NY. Elevate your teaching skills and deepen yogic wisdom.

Resolution lives in the mind. Affirmation speaks to the mind. A sankalpa is planted into the deepest layers of your being, rooted in authentic yogic philosophy and practice.

Resolve starts with a Hatha Yoga practice to align the physical and energetic body, creating the inner stability and clarity needed for true intention (sankalpa) to arise. When the nervous system is settled and the energy body aligned, the unconscious becomes receptive.

Through a specialized Yoga Nidra practice, your sankalpa is gently seated beneath the thinking mind—where habits, beliefs, and patterns actually live. From here, it becomes a cellular directive, quietly orienting your life toward who you are becoming.

This experience cultivates clarity, focus, and—most importantly—gratitude, allowing change to unfold rather than be forced. We all deserve to be supported in our process of alignment and expansion. Hope@you can join me on Sunday at Maitri Yoga or online

Photo is of me doing something weird and fun, which is what I seek out (in this case, tackling a climbing wall whilst in a skirt on the Rive Gauche in Paris).

Anyway, I pulled the following from the newsletter I sent out this morning. It’s all true and coming from the heart. If ANYTHING resonates, lemme know, and I’ll send more info, m’kay?

As the holiday season sparkles its way in, I just want to say Thank You. Truly. Your interest, encouragement, curiosity, and willingness to show up—for yourselves and for this work—fills me with gratitude.

This community is so soulful, and I don’t take that for granted for a moment. My wish is that we evolve together in ways that support our becoming and our power for creating positive, vibrant, fun filled lives! Let me know what you might like me to offer this year. I’m there for it.

In the meantime, I’ve got a few offerings a-bubbling that feel especially aligned with this moment of reflection and renewal.

-Resolve is a powerful pause—part practice, part inquiry, part willpower rest—to help you clarify what you’re ready to commit to (and what you’re ready to release). Jan 4 at Maitri Yoga in Troy or online via Zoom.

-In The Modern Salon, we gather (virtually) for real conversation and embodied wisdom around midlife, vitality, and living well in these changing years. Tell your gal pals about this. Free on Zoom. December 23 at 2p eastern, and bi-weekly thereafter.

-The Yoga Vidya Advanced Teacher Training is a rich, immersive journey into personal mastery, subtle body intelligence, and conscious teaching. Ready to dive more deeply into what yoga can do and be for you and those you guide? Let’s do it! We start soon! One weekend per month in studio or online Feb 2026-Feb 2027

-Ananda Shakti in Belize: There is one sweet spot left for the retreat. Warm jungle air, daily practice, deep nourishment, laughter, and sisterhood—if you’ve been feeling the nudge, this might be it. Feb 27-Mar 5, 2026

Whether you’re resting, celebrating, dreaming, or simply breathing—I’m wishing you warmth, ease, and moments of ridiculous joy this season.
