Yoga Awareness

~ what are you eating? ~
Food can either improve our health and help us maintain good health, or food can make us very sick.
Let’s look at the food in a very personalized way. One food that may be good for me, might not be good for you, because we have different digestive systems.

Namaste from Kerala 🇮🇳
It is said that Kerala is where Ayurveda took birth 🙏

We’re taking the Ayurveda treatment every day and learning about it ✨Our focus is maintaining prakrtti (natural health) rather than being in a constant state of vikrtti (disturbed health). This is living Yoga and Ayurveda.

Namaste from Kerala 🇮🇳 cows 🐄 are sacred 🐮

＊A sister science of yoga＊
I've felt drawn to Ayurveda for a quite awhile but until I began studying yoga with Tedd, I had been unsure of any training program.
I felt inspired to dive into the world of Ayurveda health with Yoga Awareness because of how clear and knowledgeable Tedd is as a teacher, and because of the demonstrable care and passion both he and Masumi have for their students' learning.
This 25-hour training is so empowering to every human being: it offers you a deeper look into the qualities of our nature and of all nature to support a more balanced state of health.
Ayurveda is also a sister science to yoga which, as a yoga practitioner, I value dearly as well. These two systems work in harmonious collaboration together!

☆ My Yoga Journey has just began!! ☆
I finally found a yoga that is therapeutic and authentic. I will do this Raja yoga for the rest of my life! I used to have really bad pain with my neck and shoulder from sports and car accidents. Thanks so much Tedd for helping me release this pain and your continued guidance!
Their yoga studio is amazing! We practiced yoga while overlooking Diamond Head. It was the perfect setting for our training. I loved that the classes were small because of the pandemic.
Tedd teaches with a holistic approach. He shared the history and philosophies of Raja Yoga, we learned subtle movements of Asana-s that are often overlooked by my years of taking yoga, and he enriches the practice by daily chanting. It was truly and mind, body and spiritual awakening.
The courses are well structured, easy to understand but challenging enough to bring you to the next level. I surprised myself in learning some Sanskrit! I highly recommend these courses for anyone who seek true yoga.

＊Yoga Awareness grows with you＊

Over the past year I have taken trainings for both Yoga and Ayurveda as well as regular weekly classes, and I have seen an enormous change in my health and my life.
I started the training just wanting to get a better understanding of how to practice yoga, and my work with Tedd and Masumi has become so much more than that. The things I have learned and started to practice with Yoga and Ayurveda have created positive changes across all aspects of my life.
My mind feels more clear, I am better able to make good choices for myself, and I feel like I can sustain good health for myself.
I would recommend any of the Yoga Awareness trainings immersion to everyone who is interested. You WILL see benefits from working with Tedd and Masumi.

We've just finished the Yoga Body trainings in Waikiki, Hawaii with the wonderful students 🧘‍♂️
Here's the testimonial Hitoshi shared for us 🌟

I have just completed two of the Yoga Awareness’ training classes; Level 1A Yoga Immersion and Level 1B Yoga In-Depth, taught by the Founder & Training Director, Tedd Surman. I have been taking some physical yoga exercise classes in the past, but I really wanted to learn more about yoga in depth, such as its history, philosophy, theory, etc. And, taking the trainings here at Yoga Awareness was both eye opening and a fulfilling experience. I am so glad I decided to take the classes. The materials that are used in the training are well prepared. They are organized thoughtfully so that a student will learn the maximum amount of essential information in a limited time. I must say that this is truly the product of Tedd’s excellent knowledge and extensive experience in yoga. He also really cares about each student’s needs and is always willing to adjust the curriculum. I would highly recommend to take these classes if you are interested in real yoga. And, I am confident the knowledge you receive from these classes will enhance your yoga experience throughout your life.

< Ayurveda Healthcare Training Level 1 Testimonial >

I am loving the journey of slowing down to work through all of the things that help balance me. The ayurvedic program is a beautiful compliment to my registered dietitian practice and yoga mindfulness teachings. It is taking my experience as a health professional to the next level and I just love being guided by an such a knowledgeable team. Tedd is a fantastic help with navigating the best path forward with my work. My spare time and the majority of my energy is devoted to my 4 beautiful children and my husband. I am so excited to bring everything I am learning right into their small hands at home and guide them towards honouring their health and body awareness. Namaste

☀️Colorado MAY Training - Yoga Awareness Mindfulness Training -

In this training we explore and find ways to welcome peace. Focusing with a positive mind we can let go of anxiety, fear and worries.

Our guide is a great Indian philosopher and Yogi who consolidated centuries of wisdom and practice into a small book of 195 aphorisms, or "threads" of knowledge. His name is Patanjali and the book is called the Yoga Sutra. During our trainings we'll study this practical theory and learn how to apply it in meditation and in our daily lives.

🌴 Hello Spring! & Welcome to Yoga Awareness 🌸

Yoga Awareness Yoga is for every body and mind. Your body and mind will get lighter and happier like Spring!
We'd like to share the wonderful testimonial from one of the students to help feel Yoga Awareness closer to you. Hope to see you soon


Yoga Awareness Honolulu is like a hidden gem among yoga studios. Here, I finally feel like I'm practicing ‘authentic’ yoga. They follow a lineage where yoga is more one-on-one, where the group classes are small and there’s more individual attention. They continuously stress awareness of the breath and movement, which makes the asanas more enjoyable and interesting to do. Without this awareness, we’re just going through the motions! Now, my chronically stiff neck is looser and my back is feeling sturdier. After years of both fatigue and frazzled nerves, I’m now having more days of calm energy. My friends and I each have had “aha” moments in class, and we leave class energized, centered, and grateful. (L.I.)

Zoom Yoga Class Testimonial - Don Anderson -

Thanks for doing the zoom session yesterday. The cramp that had been in my back all day was gone when we finished.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel grateful for finding you, your sharing of your expertise, and your encouragement.

Thank you.

The changes are subtle but powerful! 🌟　by Tamie, great practitioner of Yoga & Ayurveda

For years doing a pull-up has been a goal of mine. I have always found
it challenging as I could not access my back to trigger muscles
necessary. I typically used my biceps and fatigued quickly.

Yesterday I did 10 pull-ups. I was able to use the correct muscles and
it was amazingly easy!

The gal I workout with also completed my measurements and asked what I
had been doing cause my biceps increased by 2. Honestly nothing other
than yoga!

It’s interesting the changes are subtle but powerful!

Looking forward to learning and growing more

Thank you.
