Together, they explore:

How to build creative yet grounded yoga sequences.

Why planning your classes creates more freedom, not less.

How to make every student feel included and empowered.

The connection between novelty, safety and the brain’s learning process.

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to be “original” in your teaching, this one’s for you.
