Education With Intention

Yoga Science

To pursue a teaching certificate in yoga in 2018, Carla found her way back to Spain, where several chapters of her life have taken place. The asana, or physical practice within yoga science, was familiar part of her life for both overall fitness and injury prevention. The motivation towards achieving a yoga teaching certification, however, was an organic integration of a lifetime of experiences. And from the moment she stepped foot on the soil of the ashram, it was clear that this popular fitness modality was so much more.

As languages, and their reflection through history and culture were the predominate content areas of instruction throughout her career, science always meandered its way into major course themes. Throughout the journey at the ashram, key understandings pertaining to human anatomy and physiology were both refreshed and enhanced, with explicit connections to our essential health and wellness. Yoga science compliments the learning and development work Carla has consistently engaged in since 1999.

Curating a yoga science curriculum that places human learning and development at the forefront is an effortless union and has been a dream of creation. The Unifying Bridge acquaints students with how we learn as a species and engages with content that supports our foundational needs, which are conveniently embedded in the robust nature of yoga science.
