When I opened my studio, Shine Yoga, in 2015, all I knew was that yoga had guided me through recovery from stage 3 breast cancer and transformed my life in ways nothing else could.

During that time, I became more attuned to other people’s suffering—people in pain, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their potential. I realized that yoga could offer the same healing and transformation to others that it had given me.

And I thought, why not me?

So I opened a yoga studio and started teacher trainings.

A decade later, that suffering has deepened. My students come to me with grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and burnout.

We all need a path.

Every day at my studio, Shine Yoga, I see how powerfully yoga helps people reconnect with themselves and discover their innate capacity for healing.

Yoga is transformative

The Deep Yoga Method, a division of Shine dedicated to deeper learning, is a response to our need for a guide, a path, a way forward and out.

For some of us, that path is through a deeper understanding of yoga. For me, teaching yoga was that transformative moment, and it continues to be 17 years after my certification.

If you are committed, deep yoga method will help you navigate your path

Find what you most need through the programs we offer.

You need yoga. The world needs you.

Al·che·my

/ˈalkəmē/

The medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the transformation of matter. It was concerned particularly with attempts to convert base metals into gold or to find a universal elixir.

When we go deep, we transform. That happens through knowledge, practice, and exploration.

The DEEP YOGA METHOD is alchemy.

Our graduates’ experience

“Easily one of the best decisions of my life!

The Yoga Teacher Training program was the perfect balance of building a solid foundation in the history and anatomy of yoga, yoga postures/sequences, and bringing heart into your teaching so that your students can take their experiences off of the mat and into their lives.

Not only did I feel confident and prepared enough to start teaching right after graduation, but I truly feel
changed as a person for the better after immersing myself in Alchemy: Shine Yoga's YTT.

The community Sara builds throughout the training assures that you are supported by the entire
group in your endeavors, and becomes a family by graduation!”
