The Asana Lab
A Living Studio for Curious Teachers & Devoted Practitioners
Live Streaming Weekly
The Asana Lab is not a lecture. It’s a collaborative playground !
A space to keep your practice inspired, your teaching evolving, and your love of yoga rooted in exploration, not repetition.
Each week, we gather as a community of teachers, aspiring teachers, and passionate practitioners to workshop asana, play with sequencing, exchange cues, and explore the intelligence of the body through movement, philosophy, and seasonal rhythm.
Curiosity leads. Collaboration builds. Embodiment deepens.
The Asana Lab is a dynamic, live-streamed weekly asana workshop where creativity, inquiry, and embodied wisdom meet. Each week, we gather in an interactive online studio environment where teachers, aspiring teachers, and dedicated practitioners come together to explore the living art of asana.
In The Lab, curiosity leads. Together we play with the building blocks of asana practice sequencing, transitions, energetics, anatomy, alignment, cueing, and progression to keep our movement teaching and practice fresh, relevant, and inspired.
We honor the roots of yoga while welcoming modern research in movement science and somatics, weaving both into a rich, evolving exploration.
Every session is shaped by the people who show up. The topics we choose expand and deepen from our collective curiosity and lived experience, making each class a shared experiment in growth, creativity, and collaboration.
The Asana Lab celebrates learning as a communal practice. We believe wisdom expands when shared and that together, we make this lab alive, dynamic, and deeply human.
Join us in the Lab. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your voice. Let’s explore what’s possible when we learn together.
In The Asana Lab, we explore postures, movement, energetics, cueing, sequencing, theming and progressions to create the container for a practice that keeps evolving through collaboration and inquiry.
