​Transformational Teaching

Helping students carry yoga into life with Peak Poses + Mastery over Emotions

“Kaya is rare in her focused instruction that inspires me and leaves me feeling that I’ve learned substantial tools that I can use. Thank you Kaya, for all that you’ve shared with us!” - Lauren Z

Transformational Teaching
Shift your Students to the Next Level

May 5-7 2018
Emeryville California

For teachers trained in 40 hours minimum SRY
EARLY REGISTRATION AVAILABLE UNTIL FEB 1ST

Guide yoga students through the culmination of the "peak pose" experience, and through a process that allows them to live a yogic life. Cultivating the peak pose is especially valuable for:

  • New students who are not yet attracted to a class of pure release
  • Long-form offerings such as a series, workshop or retreat
  • Experienced students who are caught in a "bliss-pain loop"*
  • Yogis who want to experience the advanced āsana + release
  • SRY Yogis ready for something new and challenging

We have to ultimately work with students in a multi-dimentional and transformational way that includes not only surrender, but also strength, not only peace, but also wisdom! 

In this program:  
  • Explore PEAK Poses  - Full Upright Lunge, Triangle Pose and more!
  • Understand the REAL value of spinal release {and get out of the bliss-pain loop}
  • Gain Kaya's Principles of EMOTIONAL MASTERY for LIFE Transformation
  • DESIGN Workshops, Retreats and Series using peak poses
  • Cultivate COMMUNITY, spending time with your SRY Sangha!​​
EARLY REGISTRATION AVAILABLE UNTIL FEB 1ST

“I love her very clear, focused, patient style of instruction. She is the only yoga trainer I’ve had who provides clear, focused instruction that inspires me and leaves me feeling that I've learned something substantial and with tools that I can use and experience on my own. Thank you Kaya, for all that you've shared with us!” – Patty S

About Kaya's Approach to Live Study
The Classical Way To Learn

Our precious time in one another’s presence is the classical way to learn healing techniques. As you delve into the direct experiences of profound yogic tools, you are emboldened to teach from a place of deep inner experience and integrity. Wonderfully, this means more healing and transformation for YOU on your path to learning to support others in their healing and transformation.  

Boutique In-Person Trainings with Kaya emphasize 4 key pillars –  
  1. Hands-On SRY tools – learn and practice hands-on therapeutic tools in the Spinal Release Yoga approach to releasing spinal tension
  2. Systematic and Holistic Pedagogy – engage in kinesthetic, tactile, auditory and visual learning capacities with a methodology for teaching teachers that allows you to successfully learn, digest and apply the material in the real world.
  3. Direct Experience – retreat-like immersion in the techniques heals YOU while you simultaneously learn to apply those tools to others
  4. Sharing Sangha – your community of supportive yogis grows and deepens as you spend several days learning, partner pairing and healing together.
*All studies with Kaya qualify as continuing education with the Yoga Alliance.
*Signs of the "bliss-pain loop":
  • Obsessed with having a perfectly open spine
  • Only happy when the body is pain-free
  • Happy during yoga practice, unhappy the rest of the time
  • Resisting Life
  • Avoiding things that are hard or unliked in life {and relationships}
  • Struggling with mental pain 
  • Negative patterns in relationships
  • Body bouncing back and forth from bliss to pain 
  • Yoga is great, life is a struggle
  • Using yoga to check-out or bliss-out
  • Repeating the same problematic choices again and again

All practices have traps... and all practices have tools to progress out of these kinds of plateaus. Students {and teachers} of SRY, without guidance can reach a point of plateau. Following deep, blissful healing, it's possible to get stuck in this loop - back and forth from pain to bliss. ​
