Before your first class, someone asked for your name.
Your email. An emergency contact. Whether you had any injuries.
Nobody asked who you are.
Not what you want. Not what you're working on. Who you are β how you sleep. Whether you run hot or cold. What stress does to you first, before it does anything to anyone else.
Twelve years of practice, and the question never came up.
We've been thinking about that.

A dharamshala is not a hotel. It is the shelter where a pilgrim stops on a long road.That is where we are going.Sharanam β the Sanskrit word for refuge β opens today.
Six nights in the Kangra Valley, beneath the Dhauladhar range, from 29 November to 5 December.
We chose that week deliberately. In early December the mountains are withdrawing. The light shortens, the high peaks take their first snow, and the whole valley turns inward.
Patanjali gave this movement a name β pratyahara, the fifth limb: the senses drawing back from the world the way a tortoise draws in its limbs. It is the hardest limb to teach in a city. In the Himalaya in late autumn you do not have to teach it.
The landscape does the practice with you, and you follow.Seven days of sunrise sadhana, pranayama, deep meditation, yoga nidra. A day among the monasteries of McLeod Ganj.
A walking meditation to Sidh Baba temple. Spring water, a bonfire, sound under a cold sky.
Limited Space. One group, one guide, every session held by me from the first breath to the closing blessing.You will not travel to a place of rest. You will build one, and carry it home.

Nobody walks into day one of a teacher training believing they are a teacher.
They walk in as a practitioner. Someone who found something on the mat they can't quite explain, and who has started to suspect that the practice is asking for more than an hour of their morning.
Over seventeen years on the 4th floor of the Shangri-La, more than a thousand teachers have trained with us. It is worth saying plainly where they went.
Some teach at studios and fitness centres across Dubai and the UAE. Some lead corporate wellness sessions inside companies β the same offices they used to sit in. Some teach privately and online, to students on three continents, from wherever they happen to be. Some have opened studios of their own, in the UAE, in India, in the UK.
And some never taught a public class at all. They came to understand the practice properly, went back to their own lives, and found that the understanding was the point.
All of those are complete outcomes. None of them is a failure.
Two cohorts open next month. The 13-weekend format begins 12 September, built for people who are keeping their jobs. The 25-day weekday intensive begins 14 September, for those who want to disappear into it completely.
Yoga Alliance USA, RYT-200. Taught in the classical Himalayan tradition β Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gita β alongside anatomy that keeps your future students safe.

If something keeps pulling you back to this β I want to talk to you directly.
Not to sell you anything.
To tell you what I tell every student before they enrol: this training will change you. Not because of the certification. But because 13 weekends of immersing yourself in the complete system of yoga quietly dismantles things you didn't know were keeping you small.
I have watched it happen with over 1,000 students. Every single time.
If you are ready β or even almost ready β the link is in the bio. Or send me a DM. I personally read every one.
September 12 Β· Shangri-La Hotel Β· Dubai. Early bird rate: AED 9,000. Limited spots remaining.
