Frequently Asked Questions

For studio yogis (teachers and practitioners) who know there's more to yoga than the mat, and need a solid bridge to get there.

Yoga Bodha was created to bridge a gap that I ran into myself.

For many of us who love yoga and feel there’s more to it, the next step isn’t always clear.

One path leads to philosophy, but it can feel abstract or disconnected from practice. It can also go very deep, very fast, which can be confusing or overwhelming without the right foundation.

Another path leads into teacher training, where the focus, especially in a 200-hour YTT, tends to lean toward anatomy, sequencing, cueing, breathwork, and practice teaching.

That’s wonderful if you want to teach in a studio setting. But sometimes you don’t want to become a yoga teacher, you just want to understand yoga more deeply.

Yoga Bodha offers a bridge from the purely physical to the purely philosophical: a structured, accessible path to the deeper wisdom of yoga. It uses the physical practices as a foundation for breath, meditation, philosophy, and a home practice that leads to true transformation in daily life.

Teacher trainings, especially at the foundational 200hr level, tend to focus on the mat through cueing poses, sequencing, and practice teaching. The deeper 300hr programs often go further into philosophy, but the lens is often still on becoming a teacher.

Here, the focus is entirely different. We're cultivating your personal practice focusing on you, your own personal evolution. That inner work ripples outward and positively affects everyone around you.

The personal yoga journey is deep, intricate, always shifting, and questions will arise along the way.

Community allows us to connect in a sanctuary, a judgment-free, safe space with like-minded humans all on the same path, to share authentic study and practice — thoughtfully, respectfully, and without dogma or performance.

Generally no, at least not the way you might be used to. There are enough great options for āsana classes, whether that’s online or in physical studios.

We’ll still practice āsana and prāṇāyāma but it will be more focused on preparing the body to sit in meditation.

A deeply transformative yoga journey involves both study and practice.

We'll explore the teachings of Tantra, Haṭha and Rāja Yoga, Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras, Sanskrit, the history of yoga and what yoga really means. We’ll introduce the tools of kriyā, mudrā and mantra in a structured way, each step building on the last.

And we practice to experience the wisdom and embody the teachings. There’s a repeatable 48 minute practice included plus live meditations as the program evolves.

I'm here to guide the practice and the process. To connect with you, answer questions, and help you build a strong foundation in these various yoga practices.

The course is self-paced, so there’s no required timeline.

More modules are being added before we launch in late summer, and the program is being built as a comprehensive foundation in yoga wisdom, meditation, and home practice.

You’ll have lifetime access to the course and community, so you can move through it slowly, revisit lessons, and let the teachings sink in over time.

If you work through it consistently, you could complete the main course in a few weeks to a month. But there’s no rush. This isn’t meant to be consumed quickly and forgotten. It’s meant to cultivate a deeper relationship with your practice.

If you've been practicing in a studio and you're familiar with general terms like āsana and prāṇāyāma, you're ready.

It might feel a little overwhelming at first, and that's okay. The real understanding comes through the practice itself over time, and anyone can do that.

The lessons are there to give your practice context. If they don't fully land the first time, keep practicing and come back to them. They may hit a little different once you've lived with the practice for a while.

That depends on you, and how consistent your practice is. You get out of it what you put in.

What I can say is that people who show up daily, even imperfectly, tend to find more clarity, more calm, and a quieter relationship with their own mind over time. The noise doesn't disappear, but your relationship to it changes. And that changes everything.

There's a feminine vibe here for sure, and it comes from my feminine soul.

Yoga has always been for every single one of us on the planet, and this is too. The practices themselves invite us all to touch into the more feminine, subtle, receptive energies within us, the parts that go deep, beyond the body and the mind. We can all go there.

No. Yoga is a system of self-discovery based on your own direct experience. You do it your way.

There is no dogma here, and no right or wrong way to experience Yoga.

Whatever your background or beliefs, you are welcome here.

Please do — and read books, listen to podcasts, ask AI, do all the things.

The more perspectives you gather, the richer your understanding becomes.

The fact remains that YouTube and others are scattered, disconnected chunks of information with no thread between them. And as useful as AI can be as a sounding board, it can't experience a practice and teach from there.

We all need a human teacher informed by lived experience to weave the thread connecting one thing to the next.

You're not alone, and you're welcome here exactly as you are.

The āsana we practice is designed to settle the body for meditation, not to perform or push it. Every posture can be modified to suit your own body, and the deeper practices of breath, meditation and philosophy have no physical requirements at all.

The Yoga Beyond the Studio course will be free to anyone that signs up for the waitlist.

If you’re reading this, you have all you need.

Only you know what's truly right for you in this moment. If your mind doesn't know, your gut will, at your hāra point.

To gain insight about anything really, here's a short practice:

Sit up tall, spine long, close your eyes and slowly breathe into the point just below your navel. Notice your energy shift as you continue to breathe there. Slow, long inhale and slow long exhale. Maybe your exhale becomes a little longer than your inhale.

When you’re feeling ready, mentally and gently put your question into the ether, be specific, and then let it go.

Stay there, keep breathing slowly, keep letting go, and allow the answer come to you.

Stay open and receive. No forcing, no trying, just breathing and receiving from the stillness. Whatever comes, when it comes.

Do that as long or as much as you need to feel the answer from within. You'll know when you know. And have patience. Practice and patience.
