Where ancient Eastern philosophy meets modern neurobiology.

  • The Somatic Architecture: Examine how emotional trauma, subconscious patterns (Samskaras), and subtle energy manifest tangibly within the physical body and human posture.
  • Subtle Body Physiology: Explore the deep biochemistry and physiology behind subtle body connections (Chakras and Koshas), using clinical assessment tools to analyze their direct impact on vitality and self-referral healing.
  • The Psychology of Healing: Unpack how the mind constructs suffering. Master somatic processing—including EFT, inner child work, and a structured Recognize-Reflect-Release-Reset journaling framework—to rewire those pathways toward wholeness.
  • Multisensory & Creative Therapeutics: Engage in advanced therapeutic asana, pranayama, and meditation, seamlessly integrated with the precise application of mantras, mudras, aromatherapy, sound, color, and expressive art therapy.
  • Philosophical & Elemental Integration: Synthesize the profound wisdom of Vedanta, the Yoga Sutras, and the Seven Spiritual Laws of the Universe. Unplug, recalibrate, and ground these teachings through experiential nature immersion and purposeful play.

“The One-Yoga program has always been about quality. I would highly recommend not only the 500 hour training program but other courses and classes offered by One-Yoga. I enrolled in the 500 hour teacher training with a desire to deepen my yoga and personal journey. A trusted source for extensive training, Susan offered her expertise in yoga philosophy, advanced practice and mentoring, allowing me to master the principles of yoga teaching on and off the mat… providing me with the tools to “live my yoga.” It was truly an enriching experience.  I look forward to future One-Yoga programs to enhance my professional and personal yoga practice.”
