The “Get Deep” series is perfect for any level of Yoga practitioner who is ready to deepen their understanding and improve their practice to the point where they could enter any yoga studio in the world and feel comfortable in their space and confident in their practice. To get to this point we are going to have to get pretty deep, are you ready?
Get Deep: Posture Series (Asana)
In our primary Get Deep series we focus on an individualized set of interrelated Asana postures. The series is meant to deepen the practitioners understanding of each Asana including proper alignments, anatomy, and physiology as well as the connection to each next Asana. Each posture is paired with a set of yoga based calisthenic drills and ancillary postures. This unique style of teaching is designed to help practitioners get deeper into their understanding of the posture set as well as become more mindful in the physical practice.
Get Deep: Movement Beyond (Asana)
Movement is a feeling, get in tune with your body and break free from the rigid structure of exercise plans, set Asana sequences, and the monotony of “sets of repetition” systems. Understand what your body needs and move based on those needs. In this movement-based series we focus on activating the body while stilling the mind and centering the self. Lubrication of the joints and spinal column paired with neural flossing and mind body awareness - this series allows students to freely express their yoga practice and focus on building energy through the meridian lines moving throughout the body releasing any blockage. Classes begin and end with a mindfulness body scan paired with breath work and a movement flow through a series of loosely defined Asanas.
Get Deep: Pranic Breath (Pranayama)
Breath is life in action. Never does it reside in the future or the past. So often the breath becomes an unconscious action which leads to shallow breathing. Like every muscle in our body our respiratory system needs to be activated. Breath is now as life is now. In the Pranic Breath Series, students learn Pranayama techniques in the first portion of the class and then implement the techniques in the second half of the class.
Get Deep: Neuro Programming & Meditation (Yoga Philosophy, Awareness, & Mindfulness)
Change the way you think through newfound understanding of the mind. We will apply techniques that have been around for 1000's of years and translated across hundreds texts from across the globe. We will learn to program our mind, to set our intentions and goals, to remove negative self-destructive thoughts, and to think from a point of pure positivity. Adopt the laws of acquisition, action, and attraction and become the best version of yourself and level up with every action you take.
Get Deep: Into the Ohm (Yoga Philosophy, Awareness, & Mindfulness)
Into the Ohm series is an all ages all levels community-based event meant to bring yoga practitioners together, to share in the deepening practice of the Ohm Mantra. This event encourages community interaction and collective growth. Into the Ohm is a safe place that allows all practitioners to be themselves. Each class in the series starts with a community discussion about the Ohm, effects, and scientific findings related to neuro programming and mantra repetition. This discussion is followed by a dark room series of rolling Ohm circles and a deep relaxing meditation.

Removing the Ego Self
So, you have created a brand and executed your business strategy, congratulations! You have achieved the goals you set, you have seen the fruition of your intentions through action, and your visualizations have become a reality. Amazing! I am proud beyond belief of your success and what you have achieved, but with success comes more power, more knowledge, and more responsibility. In this class we will discuss, in a group format, the Ego self and how to stay grounded in your practice, in your journey, and within your higher self. Don’t let the ego spread its wings of pride and fly through the sky of judgement, jealousy, greed, and tear apart the fundamental ethical and moral belief system of yoga. Support others as they have supported you, teach others as they have taught you, be mindful, be caring, be thoughtful, be genuine, give back without expectation of return, be just in action and thought. Yoga is collective consciousness movement in action which leave no room for ego in yourself or in your branded business.
