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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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."
