The 2026 course will be held in person, with study materials and homework online. Most of the weekend will be spent in person. Between sessions, you will have videos and class recordings to watch as independent study. Each in-person session will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The videos from the course are yours to keep and you can review them as much as you want. These are very useful study tools that will allow you to grow in understanding and wisdom well after the program.

It is my goal to immerse students in many of the powerful and transformative yoga techniques and practices that have healed and nourished my own life. I hope you will join us.
