WHAT IS ASTROYOGA?
For thousands of years, yoga and astrology have been linked through practice and theory. By learning their intertwined philosophies you can experience how the subtle body, breath, and zodiac interact within your personal yoga practice. Come develop the skills necessary to craft AstroYoga practices for both your personal needs and for public classes.
Astrology is designed to help you learn about yourself and your place in the world — it offers tools of how to navigate time and your life purpose.
Practicing yoga makes you a fine-tuned instrument so you can align with and begin to work with the various archetypal energies of the stars and planets.
Together, they form a powerful practice that can catapult you on the path to becoming a more potent version of yourself.
AstroYoga is an Ongoing Opportunity to…
√ Experience deeper personal fulfillment in your own practice. AstroYoga delivers a whole new understanding of your physical and energetic body and the universe around and inside of you. It’s a total cosmic upgrade.
√ Always have something new to teach. There is fresh astrological intel for you to share both in private sessions and with groups every day. This keeps students eager to come back class after class interested in fresh topics, insights, and guidance from you to share both with private sessions and in groups, online and in person.
√ Stand out from the crowd. It’s easy to specialize your style of teaching as an AstroYoga teacher to studios, festivals, and online platforms looking to add unique teachers who bring fresh energy and offerings to their spaces.
