The knowledge and skills you develop that are grounded in your own creativity will give you a springboard for teaching and guiding others into the powerful experiences of yoga in a wide variety of settings.

"In the tradition of Swami Kripalu the practice of yoga asanas will naturally develop into deeper knowledge hidden within the body. Asanas develop into mudras which are whole body gestures that both evoke and express a deepening integration of physical, mental and spiritual awareness. What excites me about Megha's addition to the NYI curriculum is the way she explores the interplay of movement as dance between asanas and mudras to induce the experience of meditation-in-motion."
–Don Stapleton
