“It really doesn’t matter what your current level of knowledge or experience is; it helps deepen what you have begun to know.” – Ruth G.

OUR SPHERICAL APPROACH
POSES… Get precision and clarity with coaching, adjustments, and partner pairing in every pose. Details are refined with group discussion and detailed pose handouts.
ANATOMY… Foundational principles of anatomy clarify the physical openings you experience. Begin to learn where medical and yoga anatomy meet and differ.
CONSCIOUSNESS… Ancient teachings name and define the internal experiences and openings you are having. This aspect of the course provides new meaning to the practices and a map of the future that yoga promises.
