Not at all! This training is a journey for truth and wisdom seekers, as well as aspiring teachers. Think of it as an adventure in understanding yoga’s deeper mysteries, a path of self-discovery and healing. Whether you want to lead classes or simply explore the layers of this ancient practice, you’re in the right place, held by sacred leadership for your next level of practice.

Good question! While octopi are fascinating, the Eight Limbs of Yoga are Patanjali’s roadmap to a balanced life. Think of each "limb" as a guiding principle that helps you live yoga—not just do yoga. From self-discipline to meditation, they create a full-spectrum approach to well-being and self-discovery. It’s simpler than it sounds, and we’ll help bring it all to life.

While this training isn’t solely centered on Kundalini Yoga alone, you will receive an intensive weekend of foundational awareness of what the practice is and is not! Patty will share her passion, especially where it aligns with somatic healing, subtle energy body (Chakras) and breath practices. 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.

Our focus is on deepening understanding, not mastering every pose. The training is intense in the best way possible, 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 for every body in the room and accessible postures that honor each person’s unique anatomy and lived expereinces. If you are on the teacher path, know this: you don't have to "do" the pose to be able to teach the pose!

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.

Our Studio Manager, Jodi Weiner, with 36 years of yoga experience, 16 years of yoga teaching, and expertise as a trauma educator has written this "beyond the basics" training. She’s committed to bringing ancient yoga wisdom to life with heartfelt joy and a dash of whimsy—preparing you not just to teach yoga, but to live it.

Patty Garcia and Madelyn Louipenn will be joining Jodi to share their passion for Yoga Therapy, Kundalini Yoga, Yoga for pain, grief and more!

We can’t say for sure, but students often find unexpected layers of self-understanding, new friendships, and a newfound sense of calm. Many say it feels like coming home to themselves in a way they didn’t know they were searching for. There will be breakthroughs. There will be moments of deep revelations. There maybe a path revelaed of what's next for you. 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."

Yes! This training is especially suited to you. The curriculum is designed around longevity, mobility, and the body as it actually is, not an idealized version of it. You won't be pushed into poses that risk your joints. You'll be taught yoga that supports you for the next 50 years, not yoga that burns you out in five.

Yes. The weekend format is specifically designed for working practitioners. Most students hold full-time jobs, families, and other commitments throughout the training.

Beautifully. If you already work in a healing profession, this training gives you a deeply integrated yoga and somatic toolkit to add to your existing practice whether you teach public classes, offer private sessions (in person or virtually), or weave these tools into the work you already do. You can finally ditch the trends of marketing buzz and embody the teachings to integrate more for your clients.

Life happens. And there has bnever been a goldstar for perfect attendance in a training like this container. Here is my perspective... you will always get exactly what you need from the training. if you are absent, trust the alignment that this is not your time for this piece of the training and know you can come back to the materials for life!
