I hate western yoga. Seriously. I hate the fitness aspect of it, the appropriation of it, the way the good stuff has been gutted, and the least interesting aspect of it has been capitalized upon and sold to the masses who are greedy to gobble it up as long as it’s palatable and doesn’t make them question themselves too much or go too deep.
I know, I know, you’re asking “Then why have you done two yoga-teacher trainings?”
Honestly, the first one was kind of a fluke. I was on a spiritual adventure and wanted to deepen my knowledge of all things divine. I chose my initial yoga school because it was on a beach in a beautiful part of India and said they taught Hatha (the “easier” kind I always thought) yoga. Turns out, I actually signed up for a school that perpetuated a lot of what I didn’t like to see in the yoga world. I went along with it and was bolstered by my yogic philosophy teacher, Shambu. Shambu had the goods. He lived what he preached, he understood yogic philosophy and I respected him very much.
When he offered his own teacher training, two years after my initial training, I immediately signed up. During that training, I expanded my knowledge of yoga, and what’s more important, I discovered my calling as a teacher.
I couldn’t stand the thought of teaching another fitness-based yoga class that lacked substance. I wanted to create something real. Healing. Moving. Something that transformed people from the inside out.
I wanted to create yogic experiences.
That’s what Intuitive Movement Through the Chakras is. It’s a yogic experience that combines movement, meditation, sensory exploration, and spiritual development in every.single.class. And it does so in a completely judgment-free, safe, inclusive environment because I also hate the yoga studios that boast this environment and don’t do s**t to actually create it.
Here’s the deal, I don’t care if you’ve done yoga for a day or a lifetime. I don’t care if you’re a size 1 or 55. I don’t care if you’re skin is white, brown, yellow, red, or so inked-up that I can’t even see your face. I don’t care if you’re straight, q***r, non-binary, pansexual, asexual, etc. Because that’s not the point. The point is YOU and how you feel in your body. How your body relates to your mind and how your mind relates to your soul. Everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING ELSE, is completely irrelevant.
So come on December 9 and let’s move and groove together and just feel good. How’s that sound?
DM me for details.
