Mission Statement
To facilitate knowledge and conversation in and around the study of yoga.
Guiding Concepts
Education
Information on yoga comes from personal experience as much as it does from history, research, and science.
The physical practice of asana can be optimal if the teacher has a greater understanding of the mechanics of the body and knows how to best express that to the student. We feel it is beneficial to promote patience for the study of yoga because it is a life long engagement.
We are teaching people yoga in a specific way using knowledge, accuracy, empathy, connection, and effective pedagogy.
Communicating
Communicating with each about yoga and life.
We are communicating to people in an informed way so that their process is clear to them and can be used in life. We value personal conversation and sincerity and the connections we forge as we show up to a practice.
Leading
Leading people by example. This example comes from years of experience in the field of teaching yoga. We are avid in our studentship as we maintain a steady and consistent yoga study and practice.
Core values
