Draft of schedules for Essential, Applied and Embodied Art.
Changes may occur and final schedule will be included with your registration
Key intentions for Essentials:
This course trains participants in the following:
- understanding the spatial location and relationships of key anatomical structures in the body
- understand principles of how an area may be affected by mindfulness & movement (stretch, pressure, fulcrums, changing relationship to gravity, force or range of motion)
- understand principles about how an area of the body could potentially hold current or previous imprints of experience
Key intentions for Applied advanced training:
- understand different tools yoga offers that could potentially stimulate stillness, movement or integration into areas of mind, body and spirit.
- strengthen, as a professional, our ability to witness ourselves and another, to ground into the moment, to bracket what arises in us when we are in a professional role, and to independently source our own support system for effective integration

A glimpse of what informs Grace's approach to learning, living and Love.
I am grateful for all that I learned
teaching over 3000 students at Kripalu and internationally for 20 years.
But my yoga and life transformed when I stepped
off the mat and into
six winters in rural Bali,
the sole Hindu island in Indonesia.
Traditional Bali is a timeless prayer
of interconnection and gratitude.
I am clear
I was given only a glimpse
of Her ancient wisdom & blessing.
With humility,
these courses are an echo
of making alters inside,
to say thank you and I love you
to our wholiest home.
