SAYF is an online educational program that will deepen your knowledge of the body as it applies to yoga. You will study anatomy, human movement mechanics, and how to reduce the risk of yoga injury.
Why? So students can sustain a practice long enough to discover the psychological and personal/spiritual benefits of yoga.
We see yoga as a life practice, not just a mat practice. SAYF is a sacred and welcoming community born from the yoga experience. At the heart of our work is the intention to educate, support, and connect with yoga students, teachers and studios to share the transformative benefits of yoga.
