Ruidoso & Santa Fe, New Mexico Yoga Instruction &Teacher Training
Our New Mexico Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga Studios in Santa Fe and Ruidoso, NM combine traditional yoga practice with principles of fascial release and bio-mechanical re-patterning in a range of hatha yoga styles. It is my joy to bring a transformational experience and wellness lifestyle benefits to our students, in a sacred setting. We do not turn anyone away due to an inability to pay. We fund scholarships to assist deserving candidates to pay for Yoga Teacher Training & Certifications.
As a 66 yo woman, with total ACL loss from a skiing injury, through yoga practice I've not only recovered - but also have cultivated a better physical condition than when I was 30. Even with my limitation which was not surgically corrected, I have a robust, pain-free athletic lifestyle. Yoga has been a personal blessing to me and I lead our studio, school and my classes from awe at the body's ability to recover under the right conditions, and from a deep gratitude to my teachers, yogic partners and our students.

NEW MEXICO RYT 200 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING CURRICULUM
FASCIAL STRETCH TRACK RYT 200 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Our New Mexico Yoga Teacher Training program was designed by director and E-RYT lead instructor, Marianne Mohr to educate teacher trainees on yoga physiology, fascia and bio-mechanical patterning. Fascia is the connective tissue or "scaffolding network" that wraps internal structures, muscles & organs in the human body. It can become restricted due to injury, overuse, trauma, aging decline or inactivity. Fascial dysfunction results in pain, muscle tension, diminished blood flow and reduced health. Myofascial release through Fascia Stretch Yoga, improves these dysfunctions, deepens yoga practice and stimulates the body to restore health. Other physiological factors of a range of connective tissue which affect yoga function and benefits are covered in the comprehensive curriculum.

PRIVATE YOGA INSTRUCTION - PERSONAL YOGA TRAINERS
Our philosophy is based upon the lineage of Krishnamacharya - which advocates yoga practice matched to the student's needs. Combined with the latest physiology research/methods, a range of novel yoga postures are utilized to produce myofascial release, whole-body structural re-patterning, parasympathetic nervous and other system benefits. Personal Yoga Training provides clients with tailored, creative yoga sequences to cultivate vitality and equilibrium in body, mind and spirit.

EXPANDING ROLE OF FASCIA
Fascia - the body's connective tissue "scaffolding" - envelops, separates and supports internal structures, muscles & organs. Minimally, fascia facilitates "slide & glide" of these structures. Previously known and manipulated by bodyworkers, new research attributes many more whole-body benefits to the fascial matrix including "mediating lymphatic and fluid distribution". This new research expands the role of Fascia in optimal health. ("Interstitium - the largest organ in the body").
FASCIAL RELEASE YOGA
When fascia becomes restricted, the result may be pain, muscle tension, diminished blood flow, weakness or loss of mobility. Yoga's "whole-body" physical postures, breath work and meditation offers a comprehensive method to experience aligned movements that stretch and stimulate myofascia and related physiologic systems. As a "Complementary Alternative Modality" Yoga has been medically supported to have positive effects on: endocrinologic, vascular, respiratory, Autonomic Nervous Systems and the Vagus Nerve - encouraging the parasympathetic nervous system to the rest/relax state and improved gut/mood connection. Through guided instruction of a Fascial Yoga Release sequence combined with hands-on assists, clients receive a practice to help them restore optimal whole-body function, stimulate natural mechanisms and reduce stress. The result is a yoga practice, which is felt deeply, produces the best results for the specific client and helps them to establish a sustainable yogic regimen by understanding yoga modifications for their own needs.
ASSISTED YOGIC WELLNESS BENEFITS
Through education, instruction and hands-on guidance our goals are to use yoga sequences to restore vitality, emotional balance, digestive equilibrium, re-pattern whole-body structural function; to contribute management of PTSD/trauma, stress/anxiety; and to cultivate mind-body awareness, flexibility, balance, strength & endurance through innovative yogic movement. Staff does not address illness, but applies ancient yogic wisdom combined with modern documented pathways to create healthy body movement patterns in a yoga practice, which in turn have been proven by science to contribute to optimal conditions for wellness and sustained quality of life.
STUDENTS WHO CAN BENEFIT
Seasoned practitioners, athletes, beginners, injured students or those facing aging issues will benefit from application of wellness yoga sequences and the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle through a consistent yoga practice.
PERSONAL YOGA TRAINING
Many popular studios/styles present yoga as "exercise" or insist on adjustments which have roots in yoga intended for teenage boys in India. Modern kinesiology and physiologic understanding is a not part of most RYT yoga instructors education. Thus, rote "sun salutations" and repetitive style sequences may cause harm or minimally not provide the full physiologic benefits available with a yogic approach informed/modified by modern structural and myofascial kinesiology wisdom. As well, a group environment may not apply the right yoga to meet a student's particular needs. For students who wish to receive dedicated attention to their individual needs and goals, private yoga instruction is a constructive way to achieve results. Without the distraction of a yoga class/gym/spa, clients receive a personal assessment, the design of custom sequences, hands-on adjustments/assists.
