The LIVE journey unfolds through four practices.

LISTEN

Listen inward before you lead outward.

Become a student of yourself. Explore your body, breath, intuition, patterns, questions, and inner wisdom.

Learn to listen deeply before asking others to listen to you.

IMMERSE

Immerse yourself in the living practice of yoga.

Explore asana, philosophy, meditation, breathwork, mantra, subtle energy, Soul Anatomy, ritual, and the many ways yoga can move beyond the mat and into your everyday life.

VISION

Begin to envision the teacher and leader you are becoming.

Discover your unique voice, your teaching philosophy, and what is yours to offer.

Learn to lead from lived experience rather than simply repeating what you have been taught.

EMBODY

Bring your learning into action.

Practice leading others while continuing to honor the student within you.

Learn to teach from presence, authenticity, embodiment, and purpose.

Embodiment is where the student and teacher meet.

HWAYS.

LIVE offers differentiated instruction for students at different stages of their yoga journey 200 or 300 hr.

Everyone shares the core Soul Work experience, while assignments, mentorship, practice teaching, and leadership development are tailored to your pathway.

Ritual is a repetitive and affirming practice of anchoring the soul. Throughout LIVE, you will explore the art of creating personal and communal rituals, building altars, creating sacred space, working with intention and symbolism, and honoring the cycles and seasons of life.

You will explore how ritual can support transitions, reflection, connection, and transformation and how to thoughtfully incorporate ritual into your own life, teaching, and community offerings.

Yoga is not only something we practice.

It is something we live.

At Soul Work, we believe the soul has an anatomy and the body is more than its physiology.

Soul Anatomy invites you to explore the relationship between the physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of being human.

You will learn to ask what does my soul want me to know?

And also:

What is the body communicating?

Soul Anatomy is a framework for understanding yourself, deepening your practice, and learning to create experiences that invite others to connect with their whole selves.
