🕊️ Marc was an absolute light - curious committed, to his own evolution, and in a word, kind. He was in the first graduating class of our yoga therapy certification in 2015, and soon became one of our most beloved teachers. Marc had tremendous patience and a delightful sense of humor. He taught from his heart, and shared openly of his challenges so that we could best serve those in need. Marc taught and led by an example of compassion and presence - embodying prema - divine love. Marc, we love you. The world and our community was a better place with you in it. We lift up your spirit and joy in our hearts, memories, and continuing yoga therapy and teaching.

Your life isn’t happening later, it’s happening right NOW.

How often do you rush through your day on autopilot, barely noticing the moments that make up your life? Mindfulness isn’t just about meditation or quiet time; it’s about truly being here. Feeling the warmth of your coffee. Noticing the breeze on your skin. Actually listening when someone speaks.

Because the real magic of life? It’s in the little moments you’re too distracted to notice.

Feeling lost in the hustle and bustle of life? Overwhelmed by the noise around you? You’re not alone.

In these moments, it’s important to remember what Hermann Hesse shared: “Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” This quote is a gentle reminder that peace and self-discovery are always within reach, inside you.

Take a moment to reconnect with your inner sanctuary. How do you find your calm amidst all the chaos? Share your experiences and join the conversation.

Offering IAYT-accredited courses, Prema Yoga Institute is the go-to for yoga teachers, therapists, and enthusiasts worldwide.

⏰ Course Begins Next Friday!

⭐️ Join our Signature 100-Hour Teacher Training this winter (January 30 - February 28th) and learn from with Amanbir Singh, Dana Slamp, Dr. Loren Fishman and our yoga therapy faculty.

Learn the science and physiology behind the “down-regulating” aspects of yoga: Restorative yoga, asana for all bodies, meditation, slow flow, and pranayama. “Scan” the body to improve symmetry and manage pain, to alter postures when in recovery, and to practice mindfully as you age.

Modify your practice and teaching mindfully in chair yoga, at the wall, and with props. Learn ancient, evidence-informed techniques to reduce anxiety and depression, as well as how to adjust teaching and practice when an injury or disease is present.

Prema Yoga Therapeutics Essentials prepares you to teach effectively for all bodies - and to support your clients’ health and wellness with intelligent and accessible therapeutic yoga.

An essential course for yoga teachers, therapists, and yoga enthusiasts alike!

🚨 PSA: Other people’s opinions are not a life requirement. 🚨

How much lighter would life feel if you stopped letting other people’s thoughts control your mood? Imagine waking up, moving through your day, and making choices without wondering what they’ll say.

Not everyone will understand your path. Not everyone will see your beauty, strength, or purpose. And guess what? That’s their problem, not yours.

Today, choose YOU. Walk in your truth. Keep moving forward without waiting for approval. You are already enough.
