Our students will learn classical yogic texts, including the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, and how to apply those teachings to walk their path powerfully and authentically in the world. Grounded and established in practice, they will discover their mission and learn to trust their intuition, use their voice, and stand in their truth. Empowered through self-care, self-knowledge and clear insight, they will learn to hold space for others to grow and thrive under their guidance and care. They will become leaders, not through word or position, but through wisdom, resiliency, and purpose.

We'll revisit classic poses and rethink the traditional "vinyasa" flow. While many know the knee-down chaturanga and baby cobra as standard modifications, Nina will introduce you to a whole range of options that can make your practice more sustainable and personalized.
Bring a pose you’d like to workshop—this is your time to explore, ask questions, and leave with tools you can use in every class.

Whether you want to grow your own practice by learning alignment or you have a goal to integrate assists into your classes as a yoga teacher, this weekend workshop will develop your awareness and will allow for plenty of hands on practice with fellow classmates and feedback within small and large groups.
You will learn at least 3 assists per pose for a full 60-minute power vinyasa sequence.
No teaching experience is required! We do suggest you've practiced in the heat before and have attended at least 10 hot power classes, as this is the pace of the program, and heated practices will be included.
Plan for plenty of movement during this weekend. You will complete at least 2 sweaty practices over the weekend. All levels are welcome at this workshop! We are always grateful to have all ability levels join us because it gives trainees the best perspective of what assisting an actual class will feel like.
