Spiritual Essence Yoga

Spiritual Essence Yoga has been training teachers in the DC Metro area and beyond since 2008.  Our style of yoga is called Jiivana (L.I.F.E.) Yoga®.  The physical practice is inspired by Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga and Traditional Hatha Yoga traditions.  Jiivana is the Sanskrit word for life and L.I.F.E. represents the acronym Live Inspired Fearless Empowered, which describes our philosophy.  Life is a beautiful gift to be lived inspired, facing challenges fearlessly and feeling empowered.  We teach others how to flow with life’s fluctuations and see obstacles as opportunities to grow both on and off the mat.

Since 2003, our focus and passion have been on serving the community. Each year we work to further develop and improve our training programs.  We give trainees the tools to teach yoga and grow as a yogi.  In addition to teaching yogic philosophy and principles, our trainees also learn:

Ways to promote diversity

The importance of making yoga accessible

Tools to maintain life balance

How to clear limiting roadblocks

The business of yoga

How to succeed and experience long-term success as a teacher

In addition to working with experience trainers, We also work with Masters in various fields. Trainees are introduced to complementary modalities that include Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki, Qigong, Breathology, Ayurveda, and Sound Healing.
