2022 Yoga Teacher Trainings with SYI

, , ,

When it comes to teaching yoga,

I feel so blessed to be able to facilitate for School Yoga Institute. Being an alumni of the school, I relate to the students and understand the process. Continuing to share the practices with aspiring yoga teachers and yoga practitioners wanting to deepen their practice, is one of the most rewarding works I have ever been able to do. Each training is special in its own way, and the community comes together to support one another in learning, understanding, growth, transformation, breakthroughs, and so much more.

If you are curious, if you want to work on your practice, if you want to learn more about a wide variety of yoga topics, SYI offers a well-rounded program for you to find the aspects of Yoga that resonate with you and your practice. We hope that you can join us. Please see all of SYI Trainings by linking to their site. Below see the trainings that I will be facilitating in 2022. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! badashyoga@gmail.com

Choosing Your Path

Choosing Your Path

Yoga has been a part of my life before I knew what yoga actually was.  And I’m not talking about being able to bend and twist your body into contortionist postures… I’m referring to a way of being.  Seeing the world with open eyes and an open heart, without holding judgment, and recognizing the connection that we all have to one another and to the earth.  As a young child I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher, but in what capacity I didn’t know.  Even when I went to my first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training, I did not think that teaching yoga was my calling. I just wanted to know more about the spiritual aspects of the practice.  Within the first few days of my program I was inspired, intrigued, and motivated. I knew that I was embarking on the path that I was meant to be on. From that moment forward I knew that I could never know it all, that I would forever be the student on this journey that we call life, and to me that was thrilling.

Kids Yoga THANK YOU NOTES... Adorable & Hilarious.

, , , ,

What an amazing day that I had at my old elementary school, when I taught yoga for kids age 5-9.  Many of the children sent me Thank You notes shortly after, and I can't help but share.  Hopefully it puts a smile on your face, and touches your heart like it did mine.  The fact that so many of them could get into yoga makes me want to do it more.  Lots of love kiddos!

Reiki Meditation & Asana Practice w/ Tiffany Ketchmark

, , , , , ,

This past weekend I was able to attend a Reiki Meditation on Saturday, and asana with Reiki Meditation on Sunday guided by yoga instructor Tiffany Ketchmark.  The Breathing Tree invited Tiffany to be a guest teacher, and what a treat it was. 

Yoga & Reiki Instructor Tiffany Ketchmark

Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle of channeling energy by means of body scanning and light touch. These techniques are able to activate natural healing processes and restore physical and emotional well-being.  This was not my first experience with Reiki, and with each energy healer there is an authentic approach and efficiency to their work.  Tiffany's presence and soothing character was refreshing throughout the two workshop style classes that she held.  Plus, the asana practice was meditative and really opened up the heart.  Wonderful. If you missed out on this opportunity, no worries, she will be returning to The Breathing Tree in June!
