“The Sacred Movement YTT not only deepened my practice and provided be with the knowledge to be a yoga teacher, it was a process of self-discovery, healing and endless learning. The course focused on yoga through a social justice/trauma informed lens and provided significant knowledge on ayurveda, yoga's sister science and the importance of living a yogic lifestyle, not just practicing physical asanas. Iraimer (Ira), the lead course instructor, created a safe, welcoming community where everyone felt comfortable both sharing and receiving. I couldn't recommend the course enough!”

PRACTICE
We view yoga as a spiritual practice, as a path to self-realization, union, contentment, resilience, sovereignty, conscious connection, deepened awareness and mindful living.
We understand Yoga extends beyond the time on the mat. For us Yoga comes alive as we embody our spiritual essence in the world.
Throughout this process we explore different paths to Union including social justice, environmentalism, and our involvement in the animal rights’ movement, as well as inclusivity, accessibility and equity within the wellness space.
Our mission is to create a safe space for all bodies, and facilitate growth as well as expansions on all levels.
Within the Sacred Movement School, everyone is accepted, supported and encouraged through their individual process, and we emphasize the importance of progress versus perfection along the healing and spiritually evolving path.
