What Else Should I Know? 

In addition to lectures with Selena and Dr. Sauer we are thrilled to host to support your learning.

Your trauma-informed teaching module is led by a Somatic Experiencing therapist Kara Stansbury and your Ayurveda education is provided by Michelle Berry. Michelle is an Ayurvedic health specialist with advanced training in Ayurveda and its healing modalities. 

This training is not a fitness-based power training.

While you will learn the skills to teach vinyasa flow classes yoga was NEVER intended for fitness and as a school we honor yoga as a spiritual tradition and strive to be appreciative and not appropriative of this South-Asian practice. 

Yoga's core teaching is that we are not our bodies and yet the body is the altar of life. 

Yoga says we suffer because we overly invest in materiality and forget our true nature as spirit. 

This course is designed to take you deeper into your heart and pursues yoga as the light of self knowledge. 

This doesn't mean we won't play with arm balances or physically demanding asana but the orientation is different. 

While Western yoga equates yoga with yoga poses and contortionism this training is anchored in the tradition and teaches yoga as a holistic practice ethics and life-style with practices far beyond the body. 

It is in part our mission to pass on lineage teachings to the next generation. 

The goal of yoga is not to lose your mind in your body. And yet the body is sacred and a potent vessel and practicing holistically can improve our health and longevity. 

We will play in our bodies, learn to care for our bodies, challenge our bodies while keeping a profound awareness that yoga is more than a body-oriented practice. 

Mind, body, breath is just. a platitude unless you do it. 

Our mission is to teach you to practice and teach yoga in its fullness. 

A body oriented practice is called in yoga "anga-banga sadhana" which means a limbless or harmful practice. The WeEvolve Method™ is sarva-anga sadhana or a "full-limbed" practice. 

In this light all students move through personal development coaching, history and philosophy, and more. 

If you're ready to play, to transform, to expand your thinking, and aching for a practice that is beyond a good sweat this is for you.
