Special ‘Pop-Up' Workshop for Yoga Teachers

Greetings Reader - One of the most challenging aspects of teaching yoga is integrating yoga philosophy into an asana class or workshop. Over the many years that I’ve been training yoga teachers, this skill is the one that I’m most often asked to help teachers develop. Many teachers want to offer their students some wisdom from the yoga tradition. And the people who come to classes want to feel a sense of connection when they take a live class, in-person or online.
