This program will go much deeper than your average RYT training. Rooted in earth-based spirituality, rhythmic living, and natural movement. You can expect to not only learn how to effectively guide a yoga class but also become open and aware of your unique gifts, how to create, work, and live in purpose with cyclic understanding as our ancestors did.

During this 12-week journey, we will pair the different styles of yoga with a corresponding earth-based practice. Working through Ashtanga, paired with weaving ritual and ceremony into your life. Slow Flow, paired with connecting to the land and establishing relationships with non-human allies. Vinyasa, paired with connecting to community and being of authentic service. Yin, paired with connecting to self, shadow, and calling intimately. Along with moving through these themes, the material will also be enriched with a heavy focus on the ancient art of being in circle and holding space, anatomy, and hunter/gatherer movement and philosophy taught by Uncivilized vitality.

The asana-- movement is the smallest piece of the puzzle. Instead of the narrative that asks us to transcend the human body and experience, let us begin to descend back into the depths of what makes us human. Let us ask to remember our rightful place in a loving relationship with earth, lineage, community, and ourselves. The world does not need more gurus, we must initiate elders. May we reclaim and step into being the space holders.
