connecting online

Part of the fun in learning how to communicate more effectiely is to employ new mediums and technology. The word "video" derives from the root, "vid" which is also the root of "vidya" which means clarity. In our Teaching Yoga, A Side, we require that yogis start a Blog. In B Side we experimented with making yoga videos and posting them online. In Jam Sessions, we will continue to explore how to use the medium of video to to share your message.

about our school

We believe that the best way to learn how to teach yoga is to start teaching yoga. The authentic inspiration to share and connect with others will naturally guide you.

However, we also know that deepening the understanding through trainings and workshops with yogis already on the path can help grow the heart, strengthen the confidence and connect you with a supportive community. Read More.
