Beginner Flow
Beginner. Once you have graduated from a workshop or simply become acquainted with the basics on your own, you are ready to begin stepping into the flow. This intelligent, interactive practice is designed to instill newer students with the comfort, strength and knowledge needed to explore their blossoming practice, or to give more experienced students a gentler, more fundamental option with a focus on alignment. The flow is paused occasionally to provide more detail and opportunity to explore and deepen awareness. After dissolving on the mat and relaxing in savasana, you'll emerge grounded, open and full of peace.

Are You Ready To Earn a Great Living Inspiring People, Doing What You Love and Changing Lives?
If you've ever envisioned yourself teaching yoga or are simply looking to deepen your practice
you've come to the right place
It's 7pm on a balmy Monday night
You walk into a candlelit room, electric with the anticipation of bodies, breath and spirit. Your students fill nearly every inch of floor-space, as you make your way, greeting and hugging half the room, to the teachers' mat
Settling in, you share some thoughts, maybe a few chants and focusing breath-work
You close your eyes to hear the deeply-attuned inhales and exhales of 50 students, rising and falling in unison as hearts begin to beat stronger, bodies are set in motion and sweat begins to bead in a juicy, flowing celebration of movement. You ease through the pulsing room, guiding this magical swell of energy, smiling in every cell of your being as you glisten with pride, compassion and energy. This is not just living, this is being alive. Pure ecstasy!
The next morning, you throw on a t-shirt and yoga-pants and head over to meet the first of four private clients that day
Your 7am-er, Annie, greets you with a warm smile and shares a bit about her week, as roll your mats out in a sunny corner of the living room
You spend the next hour working as a team to gently unwind her body and deliver Annie into a glowing
Deeply-relaxed state, before leaving with her eternal gratitude, a warm-hug and $100 in your pocket. Three hours of work later, you end your day at noon, feeling great about the impact you've had on four lives… and the $400 in your pocket isn't so bad, either! Do that five days a week and your four-hour days earn you six-figures… and leave you feeling great about the impact you are having on each person's life!
Now, ask yourself, would I like this to be my reality?
It can be… if you're ready to make it happen
The Demand Is Large and Growing!
The need for great class teachers and private instructors is quickly expanding from the major yoga hubs in big cities to suburbs and small towns all over the country
Over the last 30-years, millions of people have discovered this amazing practice and, as we experience massive growth in the over-50 population in the next 20 years, millions more will clamor for the healing, stress-relieving, life-enhancing impact. Especially, in a private setting
So, if you love yoga, if you already talk to everyone you know about it
Maybe it's time to take the next step and invest in a nationally-recognized training program that'll equip you to ease, at your pace, into the world of teaching yoga classes and private yoga clients. Sounds great, right? So, what's the best way to get started?
Finding the "Right" Certification Program Is So Important
Every Program Is Unique - How Would You Like To Take The First Step With An Internationally-Acclaimed, Yoga Alliance-Accredited School? We are The Center For Yoga Studies at Sonic Yoga NYC. We have been training & certifying teachers for over 10 years. We are one of the longest standing Teacher Certification programs in the world. Since 2001, we've offered our highly-regarded 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Certification Program. And, in 2012, we'll be introducing a number of more-specialized certifications including a full Yoga Alliance Certified Pre-Natal Training and a Sonic Yoga 500 Hour Program. If you are exploring learning to teach yoga, we'd love to be your teachers, mentors and champions. But, it's also so critical that you find the program that fits you best. So, here are a few things you should know about our program. When you train and certify with us
You'll Attend a "Registered" Yoga Alliance school
Why does that matter? While there are no licensing requirements for yoga, Yoga Alliance has established widely-adopted standards for education and certification at the 200 and 500-hour levels. Schools must navigate a rigorous review process in order to become "Registered" and then graduate "Registered Yoga Teachers." (RYTs). You can "only" become an RYT if you've graduated from a Registered Yoga Alliance School. So, if it's important to you to become registered as a YA teacher, just be sure that any schools you look at not only "follow" the Yoga Alliance standards, but are actually "registered" and accredited by them
You'll benefit from the experience and reputation of established, internationally-acclaimed school
Over the last 10-years, we've graduated almost one thousand teachers and grown from one to six graduating classes a year in two different languages. Why is this sooo important to you? Because, you benefit not only from the experience of our amazing faculty and strong-reputation, but from our voracious quest to constantly improve, add-to and refine the program every time we present it. From cutting-edge presentations to ancient healing mudras, you will experience the best in professional yoga education in an easygoing, super-friendly and supportive environment
You'll learn to teach & embody vinyasa flow yoga
In our program, you'll learn how to practice and teach the flowing "vinyasa" style of yoga. You'll learn to align and sequence every element of the practice in a method we call "creativity bounded by a framework of therapeutic intelligence." Translation – have fun, let your muse out, but keep it save and healing
You'll learn anatomy & biomechanics in a way that makes it truly come alive
Because of the dynamic, physical nature of vinyasa yoga, we dive into modern anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. But, we do it in a way that makes it a lot of fun, highly-experiential and, often-times, eye-opening.You'll not-only learn about the subtle-body, but actually experience how to feel and move prana or lifeforce and teach deeply-transformative subtle-body techniques. We don't stop at the modern body. When you study with us, you'll also learn about the subtle "energy" body, Chakras, Nadis, Koshas, Vayus, Pranayama (breathing exercises or techniques to "free lifeforce"), meditation, chanting and its effect on the body and mind, mudras, ayurveda basics and so much more. But, you won't just learn about it, you'll experience it's effect on your body, mind and spirit. Armed with a strong working knowledge of both the modern and subtle body, you'll be able to impact your students bodies, minds, spirits and lives on a whole different level
You'll have Fun & connect with a wonderful, lighthearted community!
When we launched Sonic Yoga in New York's buzzing Hell's Kitchen district, we were on a mission to create a super-friendly, non-intimidating, joyous community where anyone, from any walk of life could learn yoga and "fit-in." We take the impact of the practice seriously, but we take ourselves and our community very lightly. This same warm energy pervades The Center's teaching certification program. No doubt, you'll work very hard, but you'll also be surrounded by a wonderfully-lighthearted, non-judgmental, energetic community that, very-often, leads to the cultivation of lifelong friendships
Your investment will be very-affordable and, with intensive and extended weekend and evening programs, you can choose the schedule that fits your needs
We realize that most people need to work full-time or care for family, while pursuing their teacher certification. To honor this, we have priced our program extremely competitively and built it around real-life scheduling that is designed to accommodate to a wide range of lifestyles with power weekends, flexible weekly mentor pairings, staggered on different times and days and an extensive schedule of classes to choose from. (see right column for local details). In fact, while we are one of the largest, most-established programs in New York City, we are also one of, if not, the most affordable
You'll be well-equipped to find a job or start a career
During the program, you will learn many powerful techniques to get experience, build a resume, get a job teaching class and build a private client base. In fact, using many of these tools, our alumni have developed thriving private practices and now teach all over the country and world. Here's just a sampling of the places our grads have taught
Experience, Knowledge & Passion
Knowing and really connecting with the people you'll be studying with is so important… don't you think?
Our program is directed by Sonic founder, Lauren Hanna, and is taught along with a small number of wonderful teachers, including Tracy Mohr: Asana, Pranayama and Sequencing, Jeffrey Duval: Asana and Anatomy, Keith Partington: Asana and Foundations, and Sarah Ireland: Asana and Creativity. All handpicked for their advanced knowledge, compassion and ability to inspire and teach teachers. Since 2001, we've graduated hundreds of teachers from all over the United States, France, Spain, U.K., Russia, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Japan, China, Indonesia, Central and South America, the Dominican Republic, Canada and beyond. In fact, many or our international graduates have flown to New York City just to take our training and bring what they've learned back to their home-states and countries. During your training, you'll study directly with the school Directors, the dynamic team that heads up Citysearch #1-rated Sonic Yoga NYC and had Yoga Journal proclaiming they "raise the bar for yoga innovation!"

Our Facilities
As our demand for our programs has grown, so, too has our space. All programs are taught at Sonic Yoga NYC's convenient midtown facilities, with the main studio location at 754 Ninth Avenue at 51st St
You Don't Need To Be an Asana-Rockstar
You may be wondering, "Am I ready? Is my practice good enough to do this? Am In strong enough?" We know that some schools require you to be able to perform certain postures flawlessly before you can apply. That's just not us!
We look at passion, compassion, commitment to learning and living consciously and the desire to share the practice much more than a person's physical abilities
Many people come to our trainings with widely varying backgrounds, from public school phys-ed teachers who are fairly new to the practice, but want to share it with their inner-city students to people who've been practicing a lifetime
We realized early-on that, if we excluded people based solely on their physical practice or experience-to-date
we would have kept a lot of amazing people with soaring spirits out of the program, so we decided not to set arbitrary posture requirements that really tell us very little about a person's ability and desire to become a great teacher
In fact, we've had a lot of people in the program with newer posture practices who were looking to simply teach at their current skill level and expand what they teach as their own practice
knowledge and abilities developed. We've even had a number of pregnant women and students with a variety of physical challenges complete the program
That said, the vinyasa style of postures that we teach are physical and dynamic and you'll be practicing a lot
So the fitter and more competent you are with the basic postures and movements, the more comfortable you'll feel. You should know the basic postures and movements and have a regular (2-4 times a week) practice, before beginning the program. But you don't have to be an asana-rockstar to complete the program and change peoples' lives
Remember, too, whether you're newer to the practice or have years under your belt
your physical abilities and practice will be in a very different place by the end of the program!
Nobody's Going To Give You Permission To Make Your Dream Come Alive!
Completing teacher-training with us is a powerful investment not only in your career, but in your body, mind and spirit. Would you like to speak to one of our directors? just e-mail to arrange a phone consultation or send questions and we will get right back to you.

Bio - Lauren Hanna
The founding Director NYC based Sonic Yoga, Lauren has been guiding students in Yoga for over 15 years. Armed with a Master's Degree in Social Work and wisdom passed on to her from many of the great masters, Lauren has been profoundly influenced by the devotion of Dharma Mittra, the bhakti of Jai Uttal, Krishna Das, the unconditional love of Amma, the radiance of Sri Swamini Mayatitananda, the insight of Sally Kempton and by the brilliance and spontaneity of Shiva Rea, whom Lauren assists on Prana Flow trainings internationally. To add on to all of that inspiration, Lauren is currently training in the field of Kundalini Yoga Medicine with Guru Dharam Khalsa. When not practicing or teaching internationally, Lauren spends her free time enjoying life with her family, communing with nature, riding waves and snow, developing her inner creativity, dancing, chanting, gardening, cooking & playing harmonium in her home in the surfside village of Montauk, Long Island. In the process of writing her first book, Sacred Fertility Yoga, Lauren feels strongly about the feminine in Yoga and hopes to help women who are facing the challenges of infertility. In her book, Lauren shares her personal triumphs, the wisdom of the teachers and healers that guided her on the path to fertility, along with practical knowledge and skills. Lauren is a devoted Yogini whose deep love of nature inspires her practice and her life. She humbly aspires to share the insights of her teachers both internal and external, and to encourage her students to celebrate life, with an open heart and mind. It's with this passion Lauren recently launched her non-profit organization, The Fresh Foundation: creating profound communal change through intentional compassion & Karma Yoga (selfless service)
Tracy Mohr
I think that Sonic Yoga teacher training is incredibly diverse and deep. We are all dedicated and seasoned teachers that have been teaching and practicing yoga for 15 years.The teachers come from all different yoga backgrounds which makes our training super fun and different. I have 500 hour certifications in both ISHTA Yoga and Prana Flow Yoga which makes my teaching quite well rounded and unique. I think the Hamptons are going to love the special way we teacher train at Sonic
Bio-Tracy Mohr
Always a dancer in body and mind, Tracy has been practicing yoga for over 25 years, and has been teaching for over 12. She began her journey in college studying Kundalini Yoga. Her studying continued with ISHTA Yoga in 2001, where she received her first 500 hour certification at the Be Yoga School. Tracy then met Shiva Rea in 2002 and became a devoted student and friend, eventually receiving her 500 hour Prana Flow certification. She continues to assist Shiva Rea and is a mentor for her Prana Flow program. She taught at Yoga Works in Westchester and New York, and had a home studio for 7 years before finding her home at Sonic Yoga in 2007. Tracy currently teaches at Sonic Yoga in New York City, where she is a senior teacher as well as a teacher trainer for both the 200 and 300 hour programs. She is a devoted teacher, known for her knowledge of alignment, her attention to detail, her passion and sense of humor. She teaches Asana, Alignment, and both Pranayama and Ayurveda. It brings her great joy to watch her students evolve and transform. She feels blessed everyday to be a part of such a dynamic and wonderful community. She hopes to help guide her students to finding their infinite potential, which she believes is unbounded. Tracy manages the Sonic boutique as well acts as the Sonic Yoga's liason between students and the training programs
Jolie Parcher
This training is about learning to walk the walk of a grounded passionate life of your creation. Taught by teachers with 500 hours or more of combined training who are committed to their own practice and continued learning; teachers who have gone deeper into aspects of the yoga traditions to specialize in areas personally important to them to share with you. Whether your desire is mainly to deepen your practice and get into your best yoga shape or to become a confident yoga teacher able to share your love of yoga, the Sonic at Mandala Yoga Teacher Training is a comprehensive and practical way to Do It In Your Own Backyard! We will celebrate our learning, share rituals at beach fires beneath the full moon and play in the water to cool off after vigorous asana. Set in beautiful Amagansett Square where we can mingle, share meals, enjoy a rest in the sun, we are also based within walking distance to the ocean, perhaps one of our wisest teachers.

Eric Pettigrew
I think learning is one of the best experiences someone can tap into; it is a never ending experience that should be driven with passion. I love to facilitate that by teaching/guiding those who have a strong desire to learn. I also think Yoga is such a vast subject to explore that it seems an enjoyable process of continuing education, to others and to myself. Once, my yoga teacher told me: " Eric, we are not teaching Yoga, rather we are teaching people" and that has changed my view of teaching Yoga ever since. Here is a quote that I like to share as it expresses perfectly how I feel about teaching: "A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine. Each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose his students to fit his favorite pattern. A good teacher protects his students from his own influence. A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself." – Bruce Lee

We are looking forward to guiding you into this deep life changing transformative experience. See pricing in the right side bar, and get your Early Bird Discount! Also
Arrival
Gathering at El Tumbo de las Olas, a beautiful, open air Casa with large comfortable common rooms, decks and a dipping pool, we'll be welcomed by the local Tico's Felipe and staff who will ensure a comfortable and safe stay. After an opening dinner we will gather and relax at the Casa, share stories and get to know our new Yoga family. Plus, take a peek into what to expect for the weeks ahead. Later heading to sleep as the tropical breezes ull us into a deep and restful sleep
Mornings
Start off your days sweetly awakened by sounds of howler monkeys and macquaws, showering under the deep fragrant jungle foliage. We will walk down shaded trails to the Casa Grande to have tea and exotic fruit before bathing in a 2-hour sadhana practice, including pranayama meditation and asana. Afterwards we meet for a breakfast feast by the cuilinary staff. All ingredients are fresh, grown from local farms and prepared with love. Late morning we will dive deep into Yoga studies by breaking down asana, learning cueing, modification, alignment and hands on assists for a myriad of poses. Then we each practice our teaching skills and receive constructive feedback from the teachers
Afternoons
After an amazingly nourishing lunch feast, there's a 3-hour break to ride the surf, swim in the turquoise ocean, collect shells, lounge in hammocks, sunbathe, swim in our dipping pool or explore jungle trails to hidden waterfalls! Go on adventure tours to swim or kayak with dolphins and see amazing sealife! Late afternoons we gather for lectures, covering topics that take us into the rich roots and philosophy of Yoga, including anatomy, history, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, Ayurveda, sequencing, Karma yoga, business of Yoga and more. If we feel like a late afternoon practice, we'll slide back to the yoga deck, sun-kissed perhaps, for a restorative practice, yoga nidra (sleepless sleep), and maybe some bonding, sharing, journaling…whatever blow our way, we'll stay connected in the flow
Evenings
A final dinner feast is served as the sun goes down. Aferwards, we can explore the trails with our flashlights as we unwind into the dark calm of the jungle. Certain evenings we will gather for special rituals including fire ceremonies, writing, drumming and Trance Dance. Other nights you might choose an evening beach walk in the darkness to the local bar (Martina's) to catch up with the local going-on's or melt into your mosquito-netted, 4-post bed to be lulled to sleep by the absolute calm of the jungles….catching up on the dreams you've been missing out on

If You Are Wondering How You Can Make Something Good Even Better, Then the following Is for You
In your heart, your love for yoga is blossoming evermore and the space it has taken up in your life has widened…to…learn more…go deeper.
You may have already established a personal asana practice and tasted the benevolent and joyous fruits of teaching as you shared your passion with others. Perhaps you've made your way onto sub lists at some of the smaller studios or you are teaching a fiery 7am class at one of the bigger studios. But still, your take home after commuting and teaching isn't quite cutting it and this experience has helped you realize that your 200 hour certification only scraped the tip of an iceberg that is thousands of years of accumulated yogic knowledge. Now it is time to transcend your present understanding of yoga and take your career and personal practice to new heights
As you ponder how your yoga lifestyle can evolve from great to even greater, you wonder what your next step is?
How can you nurture the bloom in your heart and strengthen its roots in your practice? Well… there are alternatives to studying in a Himalayan cave that are closer to home such as engaging in a 500 Hour Teacher Training (TT) program designed to delve deeply into yoga philosophy and its practical application. A 500 hour TT program can sharpen teaching skills that increase your offerings to students. You've probably had at least one moment like this: you are in a very challenging pose…you are struggling… your long time teacher takes notice and gives you an adjustment (verbal or physical)…and then…WOW…all this space opens up and you feel a freedom of spirit in this pose like you never thought possible…what was once a pose you disliked becomes your favorite! Having this kind of impact on your students on a daily basis is not a dream but a reality when you have a greater understanding of anatomy, the subtle body, and advanced adjustment techniques. So when you enroll in a 500 hour TT like our Sonic Yoga Advance Studies Program, not only are you giving yourself the opportunity to deepen your personal practice but you are also increasing your capacity to deepen that of your students as well. Of course, with greater impact comes greater responsibility, so be prepared to manage a perpetually increasing student following as our 500 hour TT certification will give you the experience and clout to nail those prime teaching spots at the big studios and to earn higher income per class at the best gyms & spas
With the growing population of yoga practitioners, experienced teachers are in higher demand than ever
Over the last 30-years, millions of people have discovered this amazing practice and, as we experience massive growth in the over-50 population in the next 20 years, millions more will clamor for the healing, stress-relieving, life-enhancing impact, especially, in a private setting. Speaking of privates, you've likely been wanting to build your private client list but feel you need to learn more about advanced asanas and adjustments to feel confident. So it's good to know that our Sonic Yoga Advanced Studies Program will equip you with information and experience to attract even the most discerning of private clients. Also with Yoga's rise in popularity the experience levels of yoga practitioners has become more diverse, increasing the demand for more challenging and educational classes taught by highly skilled teachers. And thus, a wonderful way to supplement your teaching income is by offering specialized workshops. Our Advanced Studies program will teach you skills and techniques to allow you to grow confident in offering specialized workshops and earn hundreds or even thousands more!
The rigorous and serious 500HR TT certification earns you the right to write the coveted title of "RYS-500" after your name which makes more job opportunities available
You are able to earn more per class and maximize the income earned from doing what you love well into the six figures! You've probably already heard that you can earn great income by attracting corporate clients and teaching in corporate wellness programs but thought you didn't have enough experience to tap into the opportunities available in corporate consulting. As an RYS-500 graduate from our Advanced Studies Program you will be equipped to teach pranayama and mediation for stress management in the style of Yoga that many corporations are looking for, and thus lure in the big corporate clients and other lucrative opportunities
In a nutshell, what does it mean to be "RYS-500"?
What Yoga studios, corporate and private clients see is a teacher empowered with deep understanding of Yoga's healing properties for the mind, body and spirit, a teacher that can adapt a practice for individual student needs, is comfortable with the subject matter and therefore at-ease and creative with teaching it to either groups or in a private setting. A teacher amongst teachers
When Pursuing Matters Close To the Heart Choosing the Right Program for You Is Essential
We are The Center for Yoga Studies at Sonic Yoga NYC
We have been training & certifying teachers for over 10 years. We are one of the longest standing Teacher Certification programs in the world. If you want to deepen your practice and sharpen the tools through which you navigate the mysteries of your body and inner world, we'd love to be your teachers, mentors and champions. But, it's also critical that you find the program that fits you best. So, here are a few things you should know about our 500 hour TT program. When you train and certify with us
You'll attend a "Registered" Yoga Alliance school
Why does that matter? While there are no licensing requirements for yoga, Yoga Alliance has established widely- adopted standards for education and certification at the 200 and 500-hour levels. Schools must navigate a rigorous review process in order to become "Registered" and then graduate "Registered Yoga Teachers" (RYTs). You can "only" become an RYT if you've graduated from a Registered Yoga Alliance School. So, if it's important to you to become registered as a YA teacher, just be sure that any schools you look at not only "follow" the Yoga Alliance standards, but are actually "registered" and accredited by them
You'll benefit from the experience and reputation of established, internationally-acclaimed school
Why is this so important to you? Because, you benefit not only from the experience of our amazing faculty and strong-reputation, but from our voracious quest to constantly improve, add-to and refine the program every time we present it. From cutting-edge presentations to ancient healing mudras, you will experience the best in professional yoga education in an easygoing, super-friendly and supportive environment
You'll reinforce the skills to teach & embody vinyasa flow yoga
In our program, you'll deepen your own practice and technique to teach the flowing "vinyasa" style of yoga. You'll learn advance alignment and sequence elements through "creativity bounded by a framework of therapeutic intelligence." Translation – have fun, let your muse out, but keep it save, deep and healing
You'll reinforce your knowledge base of anatomy & biomechanics in a way that makes it truly come alive
Because of the dynamic, physical nature of vinyasa yoga, we dive into modern anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. But, we do it in a way that makes it a lot of fun, highly-experiential and, eye-opening. You'll not-only delve deeper into the mysteries of the subtle-body, but actually experience how to feel and move prana or lifeforce and teach deeply-transformative subtle-body techniques
We don't stop at the modern body
When you study with us, you will explore in greater detail the subtle "energy" body, Chakras, Nadis, Koshas, Vayus, advanced Pranayama (breathing exercises or techniques to "free lifeforce"), meditation, chanting and its effect on the body and mind, mudras, ayurveda basics and so much more. But, you won't just learn about it, you'll experience its effect on your body, mind and spirit. Armed with a greater knowledge of both the modern and subtle body, you'll be able to impact your students' bodies, minds, spirits and lives on a whole different level
You'll have FUN & connect with a wonderful, lighthearted community!
When we launched Sonic Yoga in New York's buzzing Hell's Kitchen district, we were on a mission to create a super-friendly, non-intimidating, joyous community where anyone, from any walk of life could learn yoga and "fit-in." We take the impact of the practice seriously, but we take ourselves and our community very lightly. This same warm energy pervades The Center's teaching certification programs. No doubt, you'll work very hard, but you'll also be surrounded by a wonderfully-lighthearted, non-judgmental, energetic community that, very-often, leads to the cultivation of lifelong friendships
Your investment will be very-affordable and the intensive weekend schedule can fit the needs of even the busiest NYC yoga teacher / practitioner
We realize that most people need to work full-time or care for family, while pursuing their teacher certification. To honor this, we have priced our program extremely competitively and built it around real-life scheduling that is designed to accommodate to a wide range of lifestyles with power weekends, flexible weekly mentor pairings staggered on different times and days and an extensive schedule of yoga classes to choose from. (See right column for local details). In fact, while we are one of the largest, most-established programs in New York City, we are also one of, if not, the most affordable
You'll be well-equipped to take your career to new heights or start a career with a strong foundation
During the program, you will learn many powerful techniques to gain in experience, improve upon or build a resume, get a job teaching class and build a private client base. In fact, using many of these tools, our alumni have developed thriving private practices and now teach all over the country and world

FAQs
I've never done yoga before, where do I start?
Don't worry, everyone has to start somewhere! We recommend trying either our 3-Week Beginners Workshop on select Mondays 7:45pm – 9:00pm (see dates below). In these workshops we break down the different postures and teach you what to expect when you attend a regular class
What should I wear?
Come in something you can move in that's comfortable and you don't mind sweating in. We'll be take you through the regular postures that you'll experience in most vinyasa yoga classes, which will sometimes have you with your hips in the air and your head towards the floor or vice versa. You'll see many yogis wearing yoga pants, gym shorts and tank tops
What should I bring?
Main thing is to bring yourself, an open mind and a sense of humor, but logistically there are some other items you might consider. A water bottle, a yoga mat, and if you like a small towel for sweat. If you don't have these don't worry, Sonic has mats and hand towels for rent ($2 each use), coconut water and a donation water fountain. Any other items needed for class like blocks, blankets, bolsters or straps are already at the studio and ready for you to use
What is vinyasa?
Vinyasa is a style of yoga developed off the Ashtanga philosophy, which focuses on linking breath with movement. You'll see our classes listed in flow levels, this is because during class you will flow through a series of postures developed by the teacher. Our beginners workshops introduce you to the postures and slowly build you into a vinyasa flow so that you're ready to join classes
What comes after the Beginners Workshop?
After the beginners workshop you're still eligible for our $108 for 2 Months Unlimited Blissful Yoga, which is a great way to get to know our teachers and community. We usually encourage newer practitioners to explore our Flow Fundamentals classes. These are our base level flows that focus on alignment, breath and moving at a slower pace. If you don't feel ready to take a Flow Fundamentals and want to explore in a Beginners Workshop again, great come back and see us in the next series!
How many people normally come?
We allow up to 15 people in the beginners workshop that way we can ensure everyone gets some individual attention and assistance
What if I can't attend a full series?
No worries. You're welcome to just come in and pay on a drop-in basis. The cost is the same either way, $25 per session. And if you want to make up similar content, come visit us in the next series on the day that you missed

Mission Statement

Also, to educate by teaching the wisdom of Yoga and sharing practical tools and inspiration to guide them along their paths. Are you looking for more information?

Sacred Fertility Yoga Program
Most of us spend our younger years avoiding pregnancy, or planning the perfect path from marriage to pregnancy to family
So when we hit that first roadblock to conception that have long assumed would follow an easy natural course, it can feel life shattering. Now with the Sacred Fertility Solution, Lauren Hanna, shares a simple plan based on her personal experience and a 20 year transformational affair with Yoga on how to navigate and accept the obstacles to fertility
With wisdom, grace and humor, Hanna as your guide shares her fertility journey and supports you on yours
Her story began at the age of 40 and after a tumultuous 5 years including several rounds of IUI, IVF, donor eggs and adoption exploration, ended with the natural conception of her beautiful daughter Jaya
This program guides women along the complex and sometimes isolating journey from infertility to fertility
Her Sacred Fertility Solution - is all about an attitude shift, a change in perception - Hanna guides her clients from an attitude of being the active doing to receptive being, or from the maker to receiver of life. Hanna tells us "We do not make a baby, we prepare ourselves to receive one. We open to the creative force and allow it to move through us. We make love with our partner and we are blessed with the gift of life."
This process is about surrender, letting go, about connecting to the feminine receptive aspects of your being
It is about accepting small defeat and loss and healing and finding a place of balance and vitality. It is also about how patience, commitment and love can create a receptive state that will allow for the conception of life
Testimonials
My husband and I tried for several months to get pregnant naturally and when we finally did, it resulted in a miscarriage
We were devastated and decided to take some time off from trying. When we were finally ready again, I took Lauren's magical goddess workshop and got pregnant that month (with no real planning). And we now have an amazing 9 month old son named Jack. - Nicole
I want you to know that you personally had a huge effect on me
It was your depth and spirituality that led me into this divine path I'm currently flowing within and loving. Thank you so much for sharing your soul and wisdom with me.. I'm forever inspired (in spirit). - Rebecca

I was completely taken by how Real you are!! You've got an amazing spirit… And 50?!?! Wow! - Vanessa
Monday nights with you changed my life completely and I think offering it in this setting may appeal to people who are intimidated at first by the practice of yoga
