Have you ever asked yourself if you are a yoga instructor? Do you see yourself as an innovator who finds purpose in community? Are you brave, open-minded and passionate about awakening the human spirit? Do you seek truth and are compelled to give to others the gift of an open heart? It may be time to take the seat at the head of the class.

As the World continues to blur our reality and offer us less and less of what satisfies us, the Earth is waiting for us with open arms to ground us back into the truth we are intuitively seeking.

The yoga community needs loving, dedicated and disciplined practitioners to be ready to receive and guide the next group of curious souls seeking what is real.

What is Yoga? Walking a Path of Truth

Through mindfulness and meditation, we invite you to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery. At Root Yoga Studio, we delve deep into the realms of our inner landscape, guiding you to intimately connect with your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, needs, and desires.

Discover Inner Strength & Compassion. Aka…Awaken the Heart Space

You already have everything you need, no need to go anywhere or know anything. In this aspect of your practice, you’ll develop the power of staying in the one seat (asana). Through our movement and commitment to each moment we can begin to hold it all in the space of the heart. We cannot offer the power of a loving practice to our students without turning that power onto ourselves. Anchoring love is an essential component of being a teacher of love and light. We cannot think our way into this authentic energy, it must be practiced together.

Become Aware. Time to Meditate

Awareness is always and ever present. Through our consistent, disciplined time on the mat we begin to free ourselves from the content of the mind into the loving space that we have always been. How can we become a teacher of life instead of just a yoga teacher? As teachers, it’s our responsibility to cultivate the necessary space for our own personal development that is even bigger than “being a teacher”.

Cultivate Your Authentic Reality

Your yoga mat is your mirror, anything that shows itself on the mat is another opportunity to come home to yourself and see what’s true. Teacher training is a deep dive into who we are and what is possible in the creation of our lives. Authenticity doesn’t come from the mind but from the heart centered experience that must be practiced with a high level of discernment.

Calling ALL souls who seek to create the world from love

Values
We believe: Everyone deserves safety, equal opportunity, and happiness,

regardless of gender expression, sexual preference, race/ethnicity, culture, language, citizenship, body shape and size, ability, past history, self-care choices, perceived “vices,” or any other factor. This means that everyone also deserves access to learning practices that help bring people peace, such as yoga and meditation, without judgment for their identities, circumstances, or lifestyles.

Our bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits are sacred and worth caring for

Whatever shape, size, or ability we embody, our bodies are the sacred foundation of life. No matter how wounded or scarred, our hearts and minds are our sacred connectors to others and to our world. No matter how deflated or numbed, our spirits carry our potential to rise. We begin wherever we are and strive to care for ourselves and each other as best we can, one step at a time, and grow into our potential for wellness.

We are all interdependent, and we can best uplift ourselves by uplifting our communities

We do not subscribe to the economic development model of gentrification, nor to individual growth at the expense of others. We value and live by environmentally sustainable and ethically responsible practices rooted in compassion, and we partner only with others who do the same. Inclusive and community-focused, we develop our prosperity and wellbeing while sharing both with our community.
