Training Program
Part One: Abhayasa
The Path of the Sadhana – Do your Practice!
This first section establishes you in the roots and rituals of Yoga. Abhyasa means practice, or the effort towards aligning and re-aligning one’s attention to the present moment.
We will employ the yogic practices of asana, pranayama (breathwork), chanting, and various methods of meditation as our elemental practice. You will gain a profound understanding of the foundational asanas as alignment tools for safe physical practice, and for yoking the mind to this moment. Asanas are presented as elemental, sustaining, deepening and as a means to return to center to illuminate the path of creative sequencing.
-
Asana practice engaging body, mind and spirit
-
The deconstruction of asana into primary movement principles for clarity of alignment and sequencing
-
Functional Anatomy and Physiology: presented in short segments to support the movement and breath principles with relevance and meaning.
-
Movement inquiries for evolving a keen and subtle awareness of Proprioception that you can awaken in your students
-
History and Philosophical concepts of classical Yoga
-
Pranayama practices to refine attention and shift vital energy
-
Dharana: multiple paths to focus your mind for contemplation
Part Two: Vairagya
The Path of Radical Acceptance – All is Coming!
Vairagya is the ability to accept everything that arises with evenness and equanimity. It is the basis for the cultivation of community and the essence of every teacher who wishes to inspire her students. Vairagya reveals and celebrates the present moment in all its unpredictabilty and originality.
As we delve deeper into the practices, we encounter everything on the spiritual path: strength and flexibility as well as weakness and pain; we find the greatest joy as well as fear and doubt. As spiritual aspirants and guides we gather and balance our energies and intentions to become the light embodied, beacons on this path.

Testimonials
"June is a fantastic teacher who's passion for her craft translates to well thought out and structured classes. Whether you're a regular or casual to her classes, she masterfully guides each and every student through the movements and postures paying special attention to improvements that benefit the individual and the group as a whole. Her methods encourage self assessment and an understanding of not only how to hold a pose, but the why and the benefits of doing so. In my 15 years of yoga practice I have not come across a teacher that blends technical insights of the practice in such a fun and challenging way. Every class is a journey and a joy."
Patrick T
"I have been practicing with June for many years. She is truly a gifted yoga instructor. Her classes focus on alignment, ensuring her students are moving safely and effectively. But at the same time, she incorporates elements of play to make the practice engaging and fun.
June’s incredibly observant of her students and knows how to adjust and challenge us. Every move in the sequence is intentional, and I can feel the passion they have for the practice. It’s inspiring to learn from someone who clearly loves what they do."
Noreen R
"I've been attending June’s yoga classes for years, and what stands out most is her unwavering commitment to our health and safety. She creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels supported, offering clear guidance and modifications to ensure each pose is safe and accessible. Her attention to detail, and genuine care for her students make her classes not only enjoyable but also deeply enriching."
Genevieve K
"When I attended my first class with June in 2018, I had practiced yoga only a handful of times with a half-hearted curiosity. During that class, something shifted in me - June's cues were clear and precise, and her hands-on adjustments absolutely spot on. I kept showing up and, with each class, my understanding, proprioception and appreciation for yoga deepened. What began as a passing interest grew into a passion, leading me to complete a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and eventually become a teacher myself. Today, having tried out many different styles and teachers of yoga, June's space remains the most inspiring, challenging, and grounding place for my practice."
