Contact Steph:
Sustainable Asana Yoga Foundation (SAYF) was born from decades of experience, practice, and purpose! This program was created to reduce the likelihood of asana injury, as we feel there is an unmet need for basic understanding of human movement in the greater yoga community. There are so many opinions and contradictions on how to approach yoga-asana that it can be confusing for even an experienced, educated, and well-intentioned teacher or practitioner. Research is limited, tradition is diverse, and experience varies.
