Antaraka Yoga

Are you looking for a way to strengthen your Yoga practice or that of your students? This awesome Pilates-infused Yoga workshop will help you re-connect to your core and become more in-tuned with the body.  If you are an instructor, you will learn the art of becoming a skillful thinking instructor infusing functional movement into your classes.

You will become stronger and taller and be able to connect body and mind so much easier while building strength from within and learning to connect breath with movement.  Learning the art of lateral breathing will increase your lung capacity which, in turn, will help you hold poses longer and breathe easier. When we connect the breath, bandhas, and drishti our practice becomes so much more!

Goal Setting: The Key to Manifesting Your Ideal Life and Practice

As fitness and yoga professionals, setting goals is more than just a way to envision success—it’s a powerful tool for aligning your intentions with your actions and creating a fulfilling life and career. By setting clear, actionable goals, you can turn your vision of balance, growth, and personal fulfillment into reality.

What strategies do you use to break through the barriers of goal setting?

Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed by a flood of thoughts or stuck in a fog of indecision? In the fast-paced world of fitness and yoga, it’s easy to feel scattered or unsure of where to direct your energy. But remember, goals without action are simply wishes. It’s through consistent, intentional action that dreams evolve into tangible results. And even if you don’t hit your target on the first try, it’s not a failure—it’s an opportunity to reassess, recalibrate, and grow.

The Importance of Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals for Balanced Success

Your goals need to be S.M.A.R.T.—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—and they should also be balanced across your life and practice. This isn’t just about professional growth; it’s about creating harmony in all aspects of your life.

In my 7-Step System, we’ll work together to clarify your vision and break it down into actionable steps. By understanding your true desires and aligning them with your practice, you’ll be equipped with the tools to move forward with confidence, purpose, and balance. Let’s uncover what you really want to achieve, and how we can manifest that vision, step by step.
