My crown jewel has just been released. The Yoga Teacher is Live There are moments in the creative process when a project quietly asks for patience. This book was one of those moments. It unfolded slowly through photographs, teaching notes, and reflections gathered over years of working with yoga teachers in training, in practice, and in real classrooms. Today, I am grateful to share that The Yoga Teacher is now live. This book is a visual and reflective guide created for teac

A Wellness Lens on Cultural Change Yoga as Response A Wellness Lens on Cultural Change Yoga has always emerged in response to human conditions. Not as escape, but as practice. Not as optimization, but as relationship. In moments of rapid change, yoga does not ask us to keep up. It asks us to listen. Across culture, people are living longer, working differently, learning later in life, and carrying more cognitive and emotional load than ever before. These shifts show up quietl

Images, Energy, and Choice Every image has a footprint. Not only where it travels, but how it is made. As image generation tools become more accessible, it has become easier to create large volumes of visuals in a very short amount of time. High resolution outputs, repeated iterations, and novelty driven image challenges all rely on significant computing power. That power draws energy. Energy has impact. This is not a call to fear technology or avoid it. It is an invitation t

Why should you choose a small group experience? Mentorship over information is a choice. In a world where more content is always one click away, it can be easy to believe that learning happens by collecting, consuming, and completing. At Edge Yoga School, we move differently. We value relationship over accumulation, presence over pace, and embodied understanding over information alone. Our trainings are not designed to overwhelm you with material or measure your worth by how
