LILA

Joyful Devotion

Oct 1st - Dec 14th, 2025

In Sanskrit, Lila means "divine play". The concept of lila asserts that creation, instead of being an objective for achieving any purpose, is rather an outcome of the playful nature of the divine. In this module you’ll explore the richness of the quiet spaces, the joy in devotion, and learn how celebrating the unique spark within each of us weaves its way into the long practiced tradition we know as yoga.

The explorations

Mythology

Story is a powerful way to bring to life what is hard to see but very human within us. Across time and place, mythology has been used as a way to help us understand and orient ourselves in our life’s journey. The purpose of storytelling is not to tell you how to think but to offer reflections with which to ponder. Connect and explore across many lineages, refining your skills in sharing stories and myths that resonate personally with your students. Story is a spiritual practice in itself, as well as a beautiful portal to meaning-making.

Tantra

Learn to live, practice and teach in deep intimacy with nature and yourself through the ancient and often misunderstood wisdom of Tantra Yoga, one of yoga’s original paths and practices as art, science, healing, and liberation. In Sanskrit, Tantra means “weaving” or “interconnection.” It comes from the root tan, meaning “to extend” or “to expand.” It is a path of ritual and practice to awaken creative energy, or, shakti.. The objective of Tantric training is to transcend the barriers of duality: body and spirit, holy and unholy, dark and light, as a means to reveal our true Self. Tantra Yoga uses Asana, pranayama, mudras, mantra, and yantras as rituals to connect to Shakti in Her countless forms. We’ll explore the Dasha Maha Vidya Yoga (the yoga of the Ten Great Wisdoms) as the lens through which to practice.

Bhakti

Build a practice of devotion through awareness. Explore what lights you up – mantra, poetry, mudras, creative movement – it’s all welcome on the divine dance floor! This is about remembering joy and finding our own unique rhythm of reverence.

Yin

The potency of a quiet practice cannot be understated. Meet yourself within yourself, in these longer held poses, and stay a while. We’ll play with not only the poses but creative ways to hold these nurturing spaces including weaving in story! This practice is the medicinal antidote to much of our busy modern lives. 

Meridian Theory

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridian theory explores the concept of how Qi, life force energy, courses through the body. Learn to direct energy, promoting the flow of Qi, specifically to benefit the organs and nervous system in order to create yin classes with purpose!
