TRANSFORM YOUR TEACHING THROUGH SCIENCE, SPIRIT & SOCIAL CHANGE
The Embodied Resilience Mentorship
is for yoga and embodiment teachers interested in evolving practice and teaching by merging modern research with ancient wisdom.
PILLARS OF EMBODED RESILIENCE
Embodied practice is an invaluable tool for transformation of our individual bodymind and nervous system, as well as for collective social, cultural and ecological integration.
Yoga is an overall orientation to life that's needed in our current world ~ a view that unites rather than separates, that brings meaning and belonging to us in a time we need just that.
Science is a process of ongoing investigation that helps us personalize and amplify movement, breath and awareness practices. We learn and unlearn as a practice in itself.
