We teach practical tools that bring balance to your life!
This is a beginner yoga program based on human movement science and mindful awareness methodology. It is designed to give you the tools to move better, feel better, and stress better.
Are you interested in a breath and movement practice without all the yogic bells and whistles? Don’t think you can put your foot behind your head or stand on your head? We are more interested in giving you concrete tools to feel better than teaching you fancy poses. If you are ready to begin a yoga practice and prefer a pragmatic, evidence-based approach, this program is for you.
Join Dave and Stacy Dockins, experienced yoga teachers and human movement specialists, for this three-week program to begin your personal home yoga practice.

Read MoreI reached out to Stacy after having issues with bulging discs in my back. I have been practicing yoga for twenty years and as a new mother in a pandemic, it was one of the only grounding things I had left! When my injury happened, I thought I had lost yoga forever- as I had read that it was actually harmful for injuries such as mine. But I read more about self- healing practices for our backs and I found stacy’s blog. After reaching out to her she recommended her course which included her book (which is incredible). This course not only gave me my yoga practice back but a New relationship with my body and self- on the mat and off. I feel this injury served its purpose- it showed me certain parts of myself from which I had become disconnected and ways to heal even stronger and resilient. Thank you, Stacy and Dave- I am forever grateful.

Read MoreThis is what I've been looking for for so long. I already have multiple yoga teachers but now finally I found the missing piece. This is what yoga is and always has been for me. Yoga with purpose and more why we need it, how it works for you than the high expectations to manage the poses on the mat. It's about knowledge and feeling what serves you, to get you strong mentally and physically outside the mat. I will happily continue this education.
