We have heard your requests!!! So in addition to a Lila 300YTT, we will also offer Lila 200YTT in 2027!

Lila 200YTT is for you if you are interested in feeling the prana energy within your yoga and learn to share it with your students!

Instead of practicing and teaching yoga postures as a shape to align with, allow each asana to open unique connections to life energies— subtle currents enlivening healthy and more sustainable balance in life.

Lila 200YTT exceeds all the Yoga Alliance’s guidelines providing a healthy base to enrich your yoga knowledge and experience.

You will learn from the classical text of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the Bahagavad Gita and examine its relevance and application in life; practice and teach Lila Sun Salutations, basic vinyasas; pranayama, and meditation.

“Observations within myself and Nonny during difficult times:

Knowing the strength of our full power love and being relatively calm in tough situation is a super power.

Clarity rides on the calm.

Intensity is not panic.

We can be calm within intensity”
