San Diego Yoga Studio Yoga Studies: A Course in Svadhyaya Self-Study builds curiousity in the art and science of yoga, and yields a spark to be more inquisitive about ourselves. This self-study builds a community with like-minded people wanting to learn more about a subject they feel deeply about.

This course explores yoga on an individual level, teaching students how to deepen their practice through Asana, pranayama, and meditation. Yoga practice is an essential component of wellness. It teaches us how to care for our bodies and minds, which leads to a more balanced life.

This course is appropriate for people with 6 months of yoga or a lifetime practice. We approach each workshop with a beginner’s mind. San Diego Yoga Studio Yoga Studies: A Course in Svdhyaya Self-Study workshops can be used for continuing education with Yoga Alliance.The course will be divided into two levels: level one for new students entering the course and level two for ongoing students. During the workshop, levels will work together and break into groups when appropriate. The series of workshops is held the last Sunday of the month. Students will also be given a syllabus at the first workshop.

The teachers leading this course are extremely qualified in the practice of yoga: Kim Imlay,  Jill Keltne, and Russ Imlay. Kim and Jill have over 30 years of practice and teaching experience, and Russ has over 20 years practicing and teaching. Each teacher has helped a multitude of people on their path to yoga.
