The Journey
Begins

This year-long journey invites you to explore yoga in a whole new way, guided by experienced teachers who genuinely care and want to help access your full potential. Moving beyond the mainstream, they focus on the deeper aspects of yoga—blending nature, culture, and mindfulness. Their approach is creative, textured, and designed to engage all layers of your practice. Rooted in both home comforts and the spirit of adventure, this training encourages fresh insights and artistic expression. You'll discover new perspectives on yoga, sustainability, and meaningful living through a hands-on approach that values simplicity, creativity, and balance.

The Magic of
Simple Living

As freelance artists of the earth, we scour for beauty, refining our lens to see the magic in the mundane. Simple living is the gateway to authentic self-expression, personal empowerment, and a grounded yoga of togetherness. We adapt with integrity to the current times, taking the path less traveled into the spirit of practice that lies beneath the surface of being. This journey will tantalize the senses, calm the nervous system, and help us respond rather than react to life. Together, we’ll explore the deeper essence of yoga, cultivating a connection that resonates beyond the mat and into our everyday lives.

We are the company we keep, so keep great company.
