Curriculum Breakdown

The Pure Living Yoga Method curriculum is what we are MOST excited to share with you. Understanding the depths of the practice, the anatomy, the philosophy, and how to translate that into a class, requires students to fully embody the information. Without feeling the material, it can be challenging to understand it and share that in a class setting. For this reason, our trainees start teaching on day one, to develop the confidence and freedom to share this ancient practice from the heart.
