Teaching workshops, trainings & classes globally. I help yoga teachers & students understand how to use their body for a strong & balanced practice.

Tate  Englund
In October my 300hr advanced training starts and I In October my 300hr advanced training starts and I couldn’t be more excited. You don’t have to be a part of the official program to take a module. Hop in, hop off at anytime. You can join the official program at anytime, even after you have taken a module or 5. If you want to get a certificate, be a part of the program. 

Just like you would when you’re building anything, we start with the foundation in module 1 with the feet, ankles & knees. These 3 major players in the body oftentimes get overlooked in yoga unless there is pain or discomfort. IMO, this needs to stop. We need to add more focus in our sequences and teachings to the feet, ankles and knees so that students are set up for longterm success. If we are lacking in our foundation we are just waiting for future failure. Something above in the chain is going to give at some point because it is either trying to do too much or can’t do its job properly because something below it (feet, ankles or knees) is insufficient.

In this first module you can expect:

✅ a DEEP dive into the anatomy of feet, ankles & knees

✅ How to work safely & efficiently with the feet, ankles and knees

✅ How to use the feet, ankles & knees in every category of postures

✅ How to incorporate “non-yoga” exercises into your sequencing and personal practice to strengthen and mobilize the feet, ankles & knees

✅ How to work with pain, injury or dysfunction in the feet, ankles & knees

✅ 3 2-hour physical practices using what we learn in the lectures

You’ve fallen in love with your yoga practice. T You’ve fallen in love with your yoga practice. The way it makes you feel both mentally and physically. You just can’t get enough of it. You take class multiple times per week and it feels like it’s still not enough. There’s something in you wanting to learn more. More about how the body works, more about how you can make these postures fit your body better & to make sure you are doing it “correctly”. If you’re being honest, more than what you can get from a 60 minute group class.

Join me for this FREE masterclass where we revisit classical postures and look at exactly what is going on here. From the anatomy of the pose, to how we can make it work better and more efficiently in your body, we will dive into these powerful postures.

Some of the postures we will take a look at:

- Downward Facing Dog
- Chaturanga
- Upward Facing Dog
- Uttansana (Forward Fold)
- Anjaneyasana (low lunge)
- Virabhadrasana I & II (Warrior 1 & 2)
- Crescent Lunge
- Bridge
- Wheel

Where: @yogablissmercerisland 

When: Weds. June 8th | 6:30PM

Cost: FREE but spots are limited so don’t wait to sign up.

Disclaimer: This is an old picture Do I still pra Disclaimer: This is an old picture

Do I still practice this shape? Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I did. Do I practice the actions of this shape? ALL THE DAMN TIME.

When I look back at photos like this, I ask myself “Did this posture improve my quality of life?”. The answer to me is no. My life didn’t get any better because I could make myself look like this. My ego was stroked because of it, but not my quality of life. I didn’t find more comfort in my body throughout the day because I could touch my toes with my fingers in a hollow back pincha. I didn’t reach enlightenment.

Did the actions of this posture improve my quality of life? 💯. Strong, stable & mobile shoulders, length to the front of the hips, strength and mobility in the back body. Hell yeah that created more comfort in my daily life. It sure made it easier to do the things I need to do in my non yoga practice life.

My personal practice and my teaching changed when I realized, while rehabbing an injury, that it’s really not about the shape or the posture. The prettiness of the shape has no affect on quality of life and it’s about what are the postures trying to do. I want students and myself to understand that if you are achieving the actions, then it really doesn’t matter what it looks like. You could have the “Instagram’s ugliest wheel” award but if you are creating strength, length & stability of shoulders, strength and mobility of the posterior chain, and length to the front body then who f’ing cares what it looks like.

Now I’m not saying that there isn’t something to seeing how far we can take our bodies or to have goals. I’m just saying focus on the work. Don’t take shortcuts just replicate shapes. It’s like training for a marathon. The race is only a few hours and it may not go as well as you planned. But the quality of life comes from the months of hard work training, not the actual race.

So as yoga practitioners & teachers I ask that you think less about the shape and more about what are we really trying to do.
Coming September!! I’m excited to announce anoth Coming September!! I’m excited to announce another round of my 200hr Teacher Training program presented with @yogablissmercerisland.

I tell people all the time that teacher trainings are my absolute favorite thing to teach. I have a captive audience that is willing and wants to to actually listen to me talk about how the shoulder works when the arms are overhead or spend hours looking at posture and adjustments. I know that in a public class, there are some students saying to themselves “Enough with the hip flexors!” and just want to move. We do plenty of that (the moving part) but those who know me know that I just can’t help myself sometimes 😀. Teacher trainings are my happy place. 

If you’re wanting to learn more than is possible in a 60 or 90 minute class, or if you want to learn how to teach yoga, I invite you to join me on a journey to develop and expand your personal yoga practice; to find your voice; and to learn how to share yoga with others in a mindful, practical, and progressive manner.

There will be an online option to this training as well.

If you or already a teacher but want to learn from me, my advanced training starts this fall as well.

Write “200” in the comments if you’re interested and I’ll get you more details.
Those ‘cool’ looking inversions and arm balanc Those ‘cool’ looking inversions and arm balances you see people doing in class and on instagram don’t just magically happen overnight.

Each posture, arm balance & inversion are best learned gradually with the proper set up, the understanding of the technique required of the asana and repetition, repetition, repetition.

In this 2 part workshop you can expect to:

✅ Build an understanding of what needs to be engaged, strengthened & lengthened as you work your way into these challenging postures

✅ Learn the technique and build skill on your way to balancing

✅ Learn that sometimes take a step back is actually taking 2 steps forward

✅ Explore transitioning in and out of these asanas

✅ Build integrity; no cheating or shortcuts just to create a “shape”

This workshop is for anyone who practices yoga. There are some advanced poses, but the focus of this workshop is on the actions, not the results. As always with yoga, this is a practice not a performance.

Part 1: Arm Balances (arms below the shoulders)
Think crow, side crow, baby crow, one-legged crow, supreme crow, the koundinyasanas, 8-angle, peacock & more

Part 2: Inversions (arms above the shoulders)
Think handstand, forearm balance, headstand

When: June 4th & 5th 12-2PM
Where: @beoneyogastudiokirkland
I get the question all the time, “How do I know I get the question all the time, “How do I know what 200hr Teacher Training program I should choose?”

I first answer it by letting them know how excited I am that they’ve decided to take this step on the yoga journey. After that it’s getting down to the actual question. Watch the video to see in detail what I say but if you’re short on time, here’s the Cliff’s notes version:

1️⃣ No 2 trainings are equal and that all trainings are different

2️⃣ Main thing: DO YOUR RESEARCH! Don’t just take a training because it’s from your local studio. If you choose the wrong training, you’ll more than likely have to take another.

✅ Investigate the lead teacher

A) Who have they studied with?

B) How long have they been teaching?

C)  What’s their style? More technique/alignment based or are they more philosophical/spiritual?

D) Do you resonate with them or their style?

E) Do they see you only as a transaction? 

✅ Is there a syllabus? Do they let you know what you can expect to learn in the program.

✅ How many students will there be in the training?

✅ What’s the cost? Don’t just go for the low-ball offer

✅ What is the schedule? You don’t want to stress about how you are going to balance life and training schedules.
