Our Philosophy

At the cornerstone of our teaching philosophy is the idea that the concepts of Yoga must be first understood through the body and the dynamic, conscious practice of asana.
The YogaWorks method is a blending of the three strands of the Krishnamacharya lineage -- Ashtanga, Iyengar and the teachings of Desikachar, coupled with our unique approach to sequencing that is specifically designed to meet the needs of the average yoga student. From Ashtanga, the method incorporates heat and flow, from Iyengar precise alignment and detailed instructions, and from the teachings of Desikachar the ability to modify postures and the idea that the practice should fit the practitioner.
Our programs emphasize a student’s personal practice as the source for their creative teaching, and include a comprehensive study of the techniques and mechanics of fundamental yoga postures, as well as the tools necessary to teach and inspire others. To deepen their education students will also study functional anatomy and physiology, explore Yoga’s philosophical underpinnings, practice meditation and pranayama, and investigate the ancient science of Ayurveda.

YogaWorks’ programs include the 200-hour Teacher Training, a foundational teacher training program for serious students and aspiring teachers.
