EMBODYOGA™|100 hour In-Depth Yoga Study
with Patty Townsend


Radically deepen your field of awareness & open to a fuller vision of all that you are.
This immersion in the study of yoga is a gateway to personal transformation designed to significantly deepen practice, understanding and experience for students and teachers of all traditions.

embodyoga™
approaches the study of consciousness through our bodies; and the study of our bodies through consciousness. Experience directly the movement of consciousness through all the layers of your being. Experience the support of organs, glands, body systems and energy.

Discover “whole–body–support” templates for strong, graceful, joyful and injury free practice and teaching. Learn to weave postures, breath and movement into progressive depths of experience. Experience directly the grace and wisdom of the body-mind-spirit in movement and in stillness. Develop a depth and beauty in your yoga practice that is felt internally, is evident to the eye and remains constant when you step off the mat.
