If you’ve ever left a yoga class thinking “I want more of this in my life”—this course is for you.

If you’ve felt the benefits of a retreat and thought “I wish I could understand what made me feel that good”—this course is for you.

You don’t need to want to become a teacher (though some do, later). This 100-hour training is for students. For people who love the way yoga makes them feel—and are ready to explore how it actually works.

What makes this course different?
Unlike most trainings, this one doesn’t just focus on posture or tradition—it weaves together the most effective tools from yoga, exercise science, nutrition, and modern psychology to give you a complete system for living well.

The Case for the "Best" Yoga Poses

Of course, declaring any pose as the "best" is subjective. The human body is incredibly complex and individual, making it impossible to crown a single pose as supreme. However, these two poses consistently offer profound benefits, making them staples in many practitioners' routines.

The romantic notion that yoga has been passed down unchanged for 5,000 years is, well, a stretch.

Yes, ancient texts like the Rig Veda mention the word “yuj”, meaning to yoke or unite. But in context, it referred to hitching horses to chariots, not downward dogs.

The physical postures we associate with yoga today? They gained prominence in the 20th century, notably through Krishnamacharya in the 1930s, who blended traditional practices with modern movements.

So, while yoga’s philosophical roots are ancient, the practice we know today is a modern evolution — and that’s something to celebrate.

How often should you practice yoga to see real results? The answer might surprise you — and it’s backed by science. In this video/article, yoga teacher Stuart shares personal stories, practical advice, and studies from Harvard and the University of Illinois showing how even short sessions of yoga can improve brain function, emotional health, and physical strength.

Plus, a funny (but true) student story about how skipping yoga changed her mood… and how her partner noticed!

Whether you're a beginner or getting back on the mat, this is your reminder that consistency matters more than perfection. Start small. Start now.

The Body Is Always Looking for Safety
Why Yoga Is One of the Most Powerful Tools to Help It Find What It Needs

Let’s start with a truth that can change how you relate to yourself:

Your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to protect you.

The tension in your jaw? The shallow breath? The fatigue, anxiety, restlessness? These are often not signs that you’re broken, lazy, or unmotivated. They’re your body’s signals that it doesn’t feel safe.

And here’s the fascinating bit: Your body is scanning for safety all the time. Even when you're not aware of it.

Struggling with stress, anxiety, or overwhelm? This short video and article explore how meditation can be a powerful tool for mental health—even if you’re “bad at it.” Drawing on real-life experience and backed by science (including recent studies from The Lancet Psychiatry and Scientific Reports), Stuart shares how just 5 minutes of sitting with your breath can create space in the mind, reduce emotional chaos, and reconnect you to yourself.

Does Yin Yoga target fascia? This is often the claim and it was how presented during my training, but is there any evidence of this?
