Let's Dive In!

Born out of the need to return to the sacred, mystical, healing aspects of Yoga…

Healing Through Embodiment goes deeper than Asana.

Most programs focus on the what (postures). We focus on the how (the nervous system) and the why (your Dharma). Through 1-on-1 mentorship and a commitment to truth and liberation you will emerge not just as a teacher, but as a sovereign leader in the healing arts.

We don't just teach yoga; we facilitate the return to the Self.

In addition to your 200-Hour Trauma Informed Teacher Certification, accredited by Yoga Alliance to Elevated Standards, you will walk away from this program with direct experiences of transformation, and a deep sense of community.

Experience Yoga as a transformational path and way of living.

Dive Deeper into Your Dharma

This program is for practitioners who are serious about initiating change in their life and in the world.
