ASHTANGA
Discipline, structure and mastery of foundational postures and vinyasa transitions.

ANUSARA
Heart-opening philosophy and precise alignment principles that refine your teaching.

KUNDALINI
Powerful energetic work, kriyas and breath practices that take teaching beyond the physical.

ROCKET
Strength, creativity and playful progressions that build confidence.

Grace, devotion and spiritual depth in both practice and teaching.
