Registered Yoga Teacher Phoenix

I was able to take part in a yoga teacher training here in the west, with its roots in Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga's origins are traced back to Gorakhnath, a Hindu yogi and founder of Kanphata Yogis. Because my understanding of yoga comes from the Hatha yoga tradition that has been westernized, I also want to recognize the colonial violence that has taken place as yoga has been westernized. As it is primarily offered in areas of white privilege, the roots of yoga are often removed, in which yoga has become known as more of an exercise class. My intention in becoming a yoga teacher and using yoga principles and techniques in sessions is to help the person in front of me heal from trauma and find harmony with their minds, bodies, and souls. I try to take a holistic approach from this understanding to gain a picture of the whole person and help them heal in all corners of themselves.
