Meet Leanne! ✨

Leanne leads the live practice and processing days in our 200- and 300-hour flagship trainings as well as other courses and workshops.

If you’ve shared space with her, you know the spark she brings whenever she goes. She gives you the freedom to laugh at anything (seriously) to question everything, to share openly, and to be fully received in your whole humanness.

She’s a modern renaissance woman (seriously, it’s hard to keep up with everything she dives into from stand up comedy to farming — listing it all would be exhausting 😂). But what always rises to the top is her devotion to faith, family, and community.

Leanne is deeply rooted in the teachings of nonduality across religions, philosophies, and cultures. she never stops exploring the expansiveness of being, both within herself and in the universe. She also seems to have a never ending exploration of hair colors 😂

Come experience her teachings for yourself in our upcoming trainings! She’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you learn to love wherever that is 💙

But I don’t know who my ancestors are?

For many of us our ancestral tree is missing limbs or lost in some ancestral forest for any number of reasons - including colonization, genocide, and slavery. Relating with your ancestors is, in all honesty, an act of decolonization.

And here’s the thing, you can participate in ancestral relationship without knowing who your people are on paper. You can practice in ancestral relationship with adopted lineages.

Knowing your ancestry is not necessary to be in relationship with your ancestors.

Step into Ancestral Rituals of Belonging and explore the world of the dead - step into relationship with your wise and well people. It is an act of collective healing.

Starts: Sunday, September 7th. 10 -11:30am - Zoom-muda Triangle

Practice: On your own time but in a collective container supported by with supportive daily emails

Ends: Sunday, September 14th 9-10:30am (Zoom)

✨ What if yoga is not about me?

Ancestral Rituals of Belonging invites you to step into “We” — that collective larger SELF we often give lip service to but aren’t really sure how to connect with in an embodied way.

“We” is not just a concept. It’s not a metaphor for community or a poetic way to talk about togetherness. “We” is reality itself — the great field of consciousness in which all beings, here and gone, are already woven. To remember this is to practice yoga in its fullest sense: not as a path of self-improvement, but as a return to the truth of belonging.

When we lose connection to our ancestors, that field can feel frayed. We sense the gap. Something in us longs for the threads to be mended — for rituals that root us back into the vastness of Self, carried by the ones who came before.

Ancestral Rituals of Belonging is an opportunity to practice stepping into that wholeness. Not as an abstract idea, but as lived, embodied ritual. A seven-day journey where we remember together that yoga has never been about “me.”

Because yoga has always been about US.

Yeah. We do that. Like all the time

We say we’re one with Source, then file complaints about ourselves and everyone else like faulty equipment. Broken. Falling short. Not enough.

What’s the impact of that story on you, on the Divine, on the whole show?

yeah- We used chatgpt for the image. If you want to see the human made version that made Leanne think she is broken, tell us in the comments and we'll post it.

Ever find yourself resisting certain aspects of your self?

Ever feel resistance to your experience, or your part in the world around you?

That resistance isn't an external enemy, but a call from within. I

In yoga philosophy, we learn that the challenges we resist highlight the parts of us that require attention and love.

Our 200hr Online Yoga Teacher Training embraces this journey, providing a space for exploration and healing.

By confronting and integrating these elements, you cultivate a more profound practice and a fuller life.

Why not explore the potential of what lies within? It's time to turn resistance into a stepping stone for growth and transformation.

Stop teaching from an empty cup.

The yoga world is overflowing with advice from people who haven’t taken their own.

We rush to ‘hold space’ for others without learning how to sit with ourselves, fully.

Many preach self study while neglecting it themselves,

Many regurgitate wisdom they’ve barely tasted, and call it teaching.

Yoga begins with you.

To guide others, you must first walk the path yourself.

Feel the techniques.

Witness their power.

Then, and only then, can you hold space for others with integrity.

At our teacher-owned cooperative, we’re redefining what it means to teach and practice.

We value authenticity, self-awareness, and collaboration over competition.

Ready to start with you??

True purity is an unshackling of restraint and a journey toward liberation.

Imagine your soul unbridled, free to explore its vast potential.

This is your invitation to peel back layers of conformity and reveal the authentic self hiding beneath.

Saints and rebels are both cut from the same cloth.

Step forward fearlessly, embrace your wildness, and create a deeper connection to your true essence. Embrace the shadows, cherish the light, and let authenticity lead the way!

Consistency is the foundation of transformation. 🌿

The fire of consistency is the alchemy where our habits burn away to reveal our essence. Through daily commitment, we meet resistance not as an enemy but as the catalyst for our liberation. It’s not about doing yoga—it’s about becoming yoga.

In our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, you’ll step beyond asana and learn to weave the wisdom of Ta**ra and Yoga into every facet of your being. This is not just a practice—it’s a lifestyle, a sacred rebellion against the mundane, and an invitation to live with intention, passion, and radical grace.

If you’re ready to transcend the surface, to make yoga the rhythm of your life, this is your call. The path awaits, but only you can walk it. 🌟 Burn bright, and step into your power.

Growth is rarely a straight line. 🌿There are moments of clarity when everything feels aligned, and then times when we slip back into old patterns. This ebb and flow isn’t failure—it’s part of the process, a cycle of remembering and forgetting that helps us grow and deepen our understanding.

In our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, we honor this natural rhythm. It’s not about being perfect but about showing up, learning, and reconnecting with your truth again and again. This program provides a supportive space to explore, reflect, and transform—both on and off the mat.

Are you ready to embrace this journey of self-discovery and take your practice to the next level? We’re here to guide you every step of the way. 🌟

Strength and softness aren’t opposites—they work together to create balance. 🌿

Yoga teaches us to root ourselves in steadiness while inviting ease into our practice and our lives. This harmony transforms how we face challenges, both on and off the mat.

In our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, you’ll dive into the art of balance—not just in physical postures, but in how you teach and live. Learn to cultivate stability without rigidity and ease without losing strength. This training goes beyond learning to teach; it’s about embodying yoga as a way of life.

Are you ready to embrace this harmony and bring it into your practice, teaching, and everyday life? 🌟 Start your journey with us.
