What does it feel like to begin again? 🪷

For many of us, beginning again comes with a lot of self-judgment.

🌀 A running list of where we think we should be by now.
🌀 What we should already know.
🌀 What we should be able to do.
🌀 How much further along we should have gotten.

But could we meet a new beginning with wonder instead?
Without making it about ourselves?

Could we meet ourselves as we actually are?
Replace criticism with curiosity, expectation with openness?

This may sound easy, but for us this is a life-long practice. 🍃

And it's one that we're exploring together this month inside the Practitioner's Circle.

Not trying to arrive somewhere else.
Just learning how to begin again, together.

What is your relationship with not knowing?🌀

Every practitioner of Yoga must tackle this question at some point during their journey. 🪷

Matt equates this to the ancient concept of Avidya, or ignorance.

When people first come to Ayurveda, they discover a whole new universe of health advice. 🪷

And it can all become overwhelming pretty quickly.

If this has been your experience, I’m teaching a class at Yoga on the Mountain called:

“The Art of Living Well: Ayurvedic Principles for Health & Longevity.”

My hope is that you leave with a framework you can start using right away, not just more information about Ayurveda that stays on the shelf.

Our Yoga teacher training is not about memorizing a collection of poses or reproducing a sequence.

It's a foundation for understanding the practice deeply enough to make your own choices as a teacher. 🪶

Our next Foundational 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training begins this November at Eastern Livity in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Over four intensive weekends, you'll study:

🪷 Asana & biomechanics
🪷 Pranayama & meditation
🪷 Yoga philosophy & classic texts
🪷 Intelligent sequencing
🪷 Teaching skills & clear cueing
🪷 Adaptation for different bodies and abilities
🪷 Developing your own authentic teaching voice

You'll begin teaching from the start of the training, learning not just what to teach, but how to observe, understand, adapt, and respond to the people in front of you.

And you don't need to know exactly where the training will lead. Some students come wanting to teach. Others come to deepen their own practice and understanding of Yoga. 🪷

Learn the foundations. Understand the practice. Teach like yourself.

The next cohort begins November 12–15, 2026, with three additional intensives in January, March, and May.

📍 Eastern Livity · Jonesboro, AR

Enrollment is now open.
