Wild Lotus Yoga is excited to announce the launch of LIVING YOGA TEACHER TRAINING (LYTT), a new Teacher Training Program for yoga students wishing to become yoga teachers and/or to expand their understanding of yoga. In this holistic approach to the study of yoga, students learn to share the rich traditions of the ancient wisdom of yoga in a way that is alive and applicable to the challenges of the world today.

If you want to become a yoga teacher, to share the practice of yoga with friends, family, or colleagues, or are simply yearning to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, join us for this seven-month exploration of yoga asana, pranayama, bhakti, meditation, mantra, and many of the major sacred yoga texts.

In accessible, joyful, and well-rounded sessions, study timeless knowledge while also uncovering your own inner knowing.

Most importantly:
Turn yoga from something you sometimes do, into the way you live.
The best yoga teachers teach from an authentic wisdom that only comes from really living their yoga every day.

Living Yoga Teacher Training not only gives you the skills to instruct a full-spectrum yoga class and share these life-changing practices with others, it also moves your yoga off the mat and into your life, expanding the compartmentalized practice into a way of living. Through this immersive program, you will learn yogic philosophy and the art of teaching, refine and strengthen your own physical practice, and most importantly develop ways of living every day to stay centered in the truth, love, and evolving wisdom within.

If you want to open to your deepest truth through the practice of yoga and the art of teaching; if you are ready to accept this one marvelous life you have and fully live it, join us for this special program.

Early Bird Special: $500 Savings if application received by July 10th, pending acceptance

Rituals and Practices to Bring About Harmony in the World
Wild Lotus Yoga

Join spiritual teacher and social justice activist Michelle Cassandra Johnson for a transformative weekend immersion focused on rituals, ceremonies, shamanism, and how to engage spiritual practice for personal and collective healing. You can attend the entire weekend, which we recommend, or one session. The weekend will focus on Michelle’s third book, We Heal Together: Rituals and Practices For Building Community and Connection, and her path and practice of shamanism to bring about harmony on our planet.

The weekend will include various workshops focused on how to respond to the tumult in the world by engaging the body in ritual and practice for individual and collective healing. The weekend will include various spiritual teachings from yoga and shamanism. Through your participation in the full immersion or one workshop Michelle is offering during the immersion, you will deepen your spiritual practice and gain more clarity about how to show up more fully in your life and for the collective. You will learn more about your specific alchemy and how to engage it to transmute present conditions that are in the way of our collective liberation.

You can take the full weekend immersion or take individual workshops, which include topics such as Somatic Healing for the Individual and Collective, Engaging the Body as Ritual, Ancestral Connections, Dreaming Our Way Into the Future, and The Alchemy of the Honeybee Hive.

💗 Start From the Heart with AC
💗January 6-7 from 1pm-5pm

Come ready to tune into the deep currents of your life’s longing through yoga asana, meditation, and journaling. Using mantra, visualization, and other techniques, you will be able to commit to a path aligned with your heart, and you’ll have the opportunity to design any practical shifts to your daily life to uphold this vision. In the company of fellow seekers, you’ll learn practices to take with you that will sustain and support you.

When you start from the heart, you can live the life that has been waiting for you.

Start the new year by softening into the beauty and radiance within you. Nurture your mind, body and spirit with Andra in her annual New Years Day Restore to Radiance Workshop filled with gentle movements, supported restorative postures, meditation and chanting. This calm, internal-focused practice will help you start your new year relaxed and ready to return to center with clarity and an open heart.

💗 January 1 from noon-3 pm with Andra

How many times have you made New Year’s Resolutions that stick for a few weeks and then fade away? Have you given up on this practice, recognizing it as just a set-up for failure? Or maybe you stick doggedly to it, thinking this is the year you’ll see them through.

Real change only happens when you believe you deserve it. Real change is aligned with a deeper understanding of who you are at heart.

In this weekend yoga immersion, AC will lead us to connect to our hearts and our true essence nature to listen to the deep desires within, to hear the calling of our lives in this moment, and to honor the Divine and Ever-evolving Presence that we are. From this place of Love, we will set our Sankalpa, a deep resolve and vision for the year.

Relieve stress, fear, and anxiety naturally with Conscious Connected Breathing with Jack Fontana.

This breathing technique allows the opportunity for the body to integrate tension, trauma, fear, suppression, etc. held in the physical body’s cellular and emotional memory. This integration creates the space for freedom from physical and emotional issues, self-acceptance, profound relaxation, a greater sense of self and breath awareness — all within a safe, private, loving environment.

Tonight! Join us in celebrating Wild Lotus Yoga's 21st birthday with a evening of good company, treats, and music!
