That’s why I developed the 815Yoga School. So you can learn to speak the language of Yoga and get the tools you need to APPLY it to your life and the lives of others.
When you learn Yoga the right way, it can be easy, powerful and transformational. Why? Because it’s all about you FIRST!
In over 10 years of doing this work, I’ve watched people:
Fall back in love with their partners… heal chronic diseases… start their own businesses… develop closer relationships with their kids… and everything in between.
Whatever is standing in the way of you living YOUR most fulfilling life, 815Yoga School gives you the foundation to help you clear your path towards innate health, unconditional love and limitless joy.

It’s designed to help you quickly learn and absorb the ancient science and wisdom of Yoga and apply it to your life, relationships and career – without giving up your weekends, like most 200 Hour programs require.
The training consists of two 100 Hour Modules that build upon each other. The first is a yogic lifestyle retreat in Baja, Mexico where you'll be immersed in daily practices and begin to integrate the ancient wisdom of yoga into your everyday life - this part is all about YOU. The second is a teacher training course in Rockford at our brand new yoga center at Edgebrook - this part is where you'll learn how to share Yoga with others.
You'll be taught by a highly advanced team of instructors with more than 100 years of combined experience living at ashrams; learning from monks and Swamis; studying Vedantic philosophy, Ayurveda and Sanskrit; and traveling the world teaching Yoga.
With its progressive curriculum, master instructors, life-changing immersion retreat, and easy-to-manage home schedule, this training surpasses any other you'll find locally or online.
