Receiving an Ayurvedic consultation is a great step toward getting to know what imbalances may be causing you discomfort but the true sustainability that is living an Ayurvedic life, is being able to embody this knowledge and apply it.

There are no course requirements for this course. If you are completing your 300hr training, you can use these hours towards your certification.

with DARREN RHODES & SAM RICE and Kanoe Gantz, Gianna Purcell, and Mackie Osborne

Join Darren Rhodes and Sam Rice, along with special guest instructors Kanoe Gantz, Gianna Purcell, and Mackie Osborne for the YogaOasis 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

We will explore and practice the many facets of yoga, to inform and support your efforts to effectively teach asana. We seek to offer a teacher training experience that honors where yoga comes from, while also supporting a safer container for learning, sharing, and growth.

The aim of this training is twofold:
1. Personal practice:
Evolve your relationship to yoga, by an in-depth study of the classic forms and biomechanics of asana (poses), meditation, and pranayama (breathing) practices. Delve into a comprehensive exploration of the more esoteric aspects of yoga philosophy, history of yoga, anatomy and so much more.

Not interested in teaching yoga? This program also functions as a stellar resource for personal development.

2. Teaching asana:
Learn to skillfully instruct a wide variety of class levels with an alignment-driven focus, which includes designing skillful sequences for each. Ascertain how to succinctly articulate the essential cues for a plethora of poses to help mitigate risk, maximize reward, and offer access to the essence of the practice. Explore ways to make your classes more inclusive.

Completion of this program allows graduates to register with Yoga Alliance® as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) at the 200-hour level.

Other topics included in this program: Somatics + experiential anatomy with Mackie Osborne; Flow + functional anatomy with Kanoe Gantz; a deep dive into yoga and philosophy with Gianna Purcell.

I’m a somanaut, a dedicated and persistent explorer of the mystery and magic of human embodiment. The path of yoga, from the physical practice to the philosophical context that informs the practice is my passion. I believe yoga is more than just an exercise, it’s a profound spiritual exploration and a design for living. My classes emphasize alignment and breath-based movement and are designed to build strength as well as flexibility. I strive to make my classes fun, challenging, practical, and accessible to anyone looking to create transformation in their lives, whether their desire is to open their hearts or their hamstrings. I believe that the end result of either intention brings us closer to achieving both.

26+2 Master Class & Workshop

The workshop weekend will kick off at our Lincoln Park studio on Saturday, August 6th where Gianna will teach the classic 26+2 hot yoga series taking additional time to dive deeper into the anatomy and mechanics of the postures through discussion, demonstrations, and breakdowns. During this two-hour comprehensive class and workshop, you'll explore basic concepts covered in asana practice and apply them to the postures to help better understand class and the series as a whole. See where you are at and then be inspired and encouraged to see where you can go!

Sunday, August 7th 1:30p - 3:30p at Wicker Park

Subtle Body Healing & Meditation Workshop

The workshop weekend will continue on Sunday, August 7th where Gianna will lead a Subtle Body Healing & Meditation Workshop at our Wicker Park studio. Working with the ancient art of tantric healing (kriya, pranayama, meditation, and mantra), this two-hour workshop will take the focus of your practice beyond the physical form to center the mind, explore the connection to the subtle body, and to promote profound shifts within.

Through asana, deep awareness, conditioning, wall work, and prop use, we will explore rotations in the hips and shoulders and mobility in the spine as we healthfully journey towards more complex shapes. We will be practicing more advanced shapes in a gentle way so all levels can join!

Saturday, July 16, 130pm 26+2 Workshop (2 hours) - $35 early-bird / $40 day of drop-in rate

In this workshop, we will discuss ways to find consistencies throughout the practice that streamlines our understanding surrounding the simplification of the complex shoulders and diversification of the seemingly easy upward stance.
