Contrast Yoga:

(Contrast = Yin and Yang in one word.)

Continuing Education & Teacher Training

It’s an act of rebellion to take your physical health, mental state, and well-being into your own hands.

In a world of pose-focused yoga, we return to the core: breath, discipline, rhythm, and presence.

This modern training integrates breath, mind, and body while building powerful communication skills. You'll learn to spot everyday moments, transform them into compelling dharma talks and social media content.
