About Kaya's Approach to Live Study
The Classical Way To Learn

Our precious time in one another’s presence is the classical way to learn healing techniques. As you delve into the direct experiences of profound yogic tools, you are emboldened to teach from a place of deep inner experience and integrity. Wonderfully, this means more healing and transformation for YOU on your path to learning to support others in their healing and transformation.  

Boutique In-Person Trainings with Kaya emphasize 4 key pillars –  
  1. Hands-On SRY tools – learn and practice hands-on therapeutic tools in the Spinal Release Yoga approach to releasing spinal tension
  2. Systematic and Holistic Pedagogy – engage in kinesthetic, tactile, auditory and visual learning capacities with a methodology for teaching teachers that allows you to successfully learn, digest and apply the material in the real world.
  3. Direct Experience – retreat-like immersion in the techniques heals YOU while you simultaneously learn to apply those tools to others
  4. Sharing Sangha – your community of supportive yogis grows and deepens as you spend several days learning, partner pairing and healing together.
*All studies with Kaya qualify as continuing education with the Yoga Alliance.
