SRY Practicums

 Deepen your practice. Deepen your teaching. 

“Kaya's knowledge is obviously vast and her communication is so clear, her presence so unencumbered by personal issues or needing validation from her students, that the teaching is extremely accessible. She's totally organized and calm, clearly in her element, and the pace is measured - never rushed but never lagging. She is aware of everyone as individuals and of the whole group at the same time. The whole experience allows for as easeful as possible a download of both the intellectual information and the energetics of the teaching that's coming through" - Susan L, SRY teacher in Training

About Kaya

"I wanted to take a minute to say thank you from deep in my heart for your teachings this weekend. I walked away feeling so at ease and peaceful. The sattva {peace} theme really set in and was such a profound reminder to me that I need more of that in my life. Physically I felt amazing! From the beginning of the weekend I began to feel more clear, relaxed and zen. Even my husband and the kids noticed. I felt like I hit the ‘reset’ button. – Yvette Racines, Yoga Teacher and Studio Owner
