In Yoga Illumined:  you learn the 8-limb system (Ashtanga) as taught by Patanjali – which includes guidelines for strengthening the spiritual, mental, psychic, pranic and physical body through Asana, Pranayama and Meditation to help you embody the most expanded state of enlightenment (Samadhi). You also learn how to speak from your true Voice in every aspect of your life and as a Yoga Teacher.

Yoga Illumined teachings are deeply inspired by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati (Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D)'s teachings and guidance.

      I was fortunate enough to have been trained by the incredible yogi masters, Zoe Mantarakis and Kristina Sumukhi Lanuza. I have since had the opportunity to speak to others trained by different teachers and there is no comparison between the program I was trained what others have shared with me of their training methodology. Comprehensive and life changing from two amazingly talented and beautiful souls. They shared their gifts and I am forever grateful!
