Many people don’t know about all the tools of yoga, especially those who have never tried any form of yoga. Most in our society mistakenly assume that yoga is about the body and requires flexibility already, and about performing difficult postures and poses, which just isn’t the case. Yoga is actually about the mind, how to develop and polish it so we may attend more fully and show up better in our lives.
Join us for this FREE 90 Minute talk to learn what yoga is (and is not), and about the various powerful tools of yoga that don’t involve poses, a mat, or sweating. This is ideal for anyone who hasn’t done yoga before (but is curious), any new, aspiring, or seasoned yoga instructors, and DIY yogis who picked up their own practice by attending a few classes and/or watching yoga videos. |

Yoga āsana helps us live healthier, and more than that, Yoga, in its truest form, has the power to influence us to actualize our fullest human potential. In this spirit, Damon has fervently studied and practiced essential yoga for almost two decades and strives to incorporate his personal study and practice into every facet of his life, including his teaching and mentoring. His growing interest in yoga led him to completing multiple certifications: 200-hr Ashtanga Yoga/Vinyasa Flow, 500-hr Viniyoga, and he’s currently working toward completing an Advanced 1000-hr Yoga Therapist Certification.
Beyond his formal training, Damon is passionate about Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, the most widely accepted authoritative text on YOGA, and has dedicated much of his time toward studying and learning the word-for-word translations of the sūtras, their overall meanings, practical applications they have to everyday life, and how to chant them in their original Sanskrit (which he now also teaches). Damon recognizes that yoga is just a word, if we remove the word, we are left with the practice — a way of being that enlivens us to blossom so we may live life in full bloom. Damon prefers to meet a person where they are and support and inspire them to create and experience the most incredible and rich life possible. |
