What to expect in this Yoga
Philosophy Training
This course takes you through the history of yoga and the evolution from its ancient roots to the more common forms we are accustomed to in our modern society. Not only will we explore the teachings from some of the most sacred texts on yoga, but we will learn how to apply them to the life of a ‘householder’. Householder life refers to living a yogic lifestyle while participating in the modern world, something that cannot be learned from reading only.
We will explore some of the key aphorisms of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Specifically the ones that offer you a model for understanding your own makeup, how and why the mind works the way that it does, and the ways in which you may begin to re-pattern yourself in order to live a life that’s more true to your authentic peaceful nature.
Who is this course designed for?
Those who feel that there is more to yoga than asana (the physical practice)
Those who are interested in becoming a yoga teacher
Those who are already certified yoga teachers but feel they could expand upon their knowledge in the Philosophy of Yoga
Those who are already teaching and feel uncomfortable talking about Yoga Philosophy in a class setting

Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Lisa,
With more than a decade of combined practice and teaching experience, I was initially drawn to yoga through the physical practice of asana. It wasn’t until my first 200hour in India that I really started to dig in and discover a deep resonance with Yoga Philosophy.
One of the most prominent beliefs that I hold as a teacher is that we are first and foremost a student. This belief has led me to complete several teacher trainings across a variety of categories and styles, and I continue to do so presently.
I love the idea of online trainings; their adaptability, availability and convenience has led me to complete dozens for my own educational purposes. This has helped me to discover the aspects that really support a student’s learning so that I may incorporate them in my own online courses.
When not studying Yoga philosophy, spirituality, or the biomechanics of the human body; I love to travel the world to experience new places and cultures.
“The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi
