Good question! While octopi are fascinating, the Eight Limbs of Yoga are Patanjali’s roadmap to a balanced life.

No one has escaped trauma. It is the great equalizer and knows no boundaries. This program is crafted to honor your unique journey, respecting that your body and mind have their own story and inherited history.
With somatic healing practices, mindfulness, and grounding techniques, you’ll learn how to create a space that feels safe, compassionate, and supportive—for yourself and others.
And if you choose to teach, your class will feel like a standout, something beautifully unique in our current market.
While this training isn’t centered on Kundalini Yoga alone, you will receive a beautiful foundational awareness of what the practice is and is not! We will incorporate some aspects of it, especially where it aligns with somatic healing and energy work.
Think of Kundalini as another tool in your yoga toolkit, helping you deepen your understanding of breathwork, energy flow, and mind-body connection. We keep things accessible, guiding you through these practices in a way that feels safe, gentle, and supportive.

Not at all!
We start at the beginning and keep things approachable and simple.
Chakras, alignment, and ancient philosophy are science based ways to understand your body, mind, habitual behaviors, inherited beliefs, and the world around us. Think of it as a journey through the subtle layers of yoga, where each layer brings something new and magical.
Our focus is on deepening understanding, not mastering every pose. The training is intense in the best way—mentally and spiritually, not physically. If you end up doing handstands, fantastic! But if you prefer a grounded, steady practice, that’s wonderful too. Our emphasis is on safe alignment and accessible postures that honor each person’s unique body.
Committing to this path is a courageous leap! But you won’t be doing it alone. We believe in a joyful approach to learning, so your sessions blend serious study with laughter, curiosity, and exploration. It’s about creating a supportive community where you can grow at your own pace. Your yoga family share this journey right alongside you watching your own breakthroughs and and transformations.

Jodi has heard this most often:
"I had no idea yoga was all of this and I could not begin to imagine life without all these incredible tools."
