This is not yoga choreography. This is not memorizing a sequence. EDM Yoga® Teacher Training is about understanding why you are doing what you are doing.
EDM Yoga® Teacher Training brings together years of study across yogic philosophy, movement, meditation, breathwork, dance, anatomy, and energetic awareness into one integrated methodology.
Alignment before action. Strength before spectacle. Meaning behind every movement.
And yes — Assana has two S's. Because we take the glutes very seriously.
The EDM Yoga® methodology looks at the human being as an interconnected system. Rather than forcing every student into one rigid style, you learn the principles underneath the practice so you can intelligently choose what the body actually needs.
We never do something just because it looks like yoga. Every movement has meaning, every posture has a purpose, every transition affects the body.
When you understand the answers, your teaching changes. You stop copying sequences — you start creating them.
What are we strengthening?
What are we opening or stabilizing?
Where is the body compensating?
What is the intention of this posture?
How does the sequence feel as a complete experience?
Instead of simply telling a student to "go deeper," you learn to understand how the body is organized inside the posture — where mobility should occur, and where stability should remain.
Understand the architecture of the posture before adding intensity, speed, or complexity.
Learn what muscles should be participating so the body is supported rather than simply hanging into flexibility.
Every movement has a reason — chosen for what we're trying to create physically, mentally, and energetically.
One movement prepares the body for the next. A great class has an arc. Nothing is random.
Students aren't simply following instructions — they're learning how to feel their own bodies.
Movement can interact with music in a way that creates rhythm, presence, emotion, and joy.
Everything belongs in the practice.
Every Movement Has Meaning.
Dance teaches you something traditional sequencing doesn't always emphasize: movement has rhythm. Transitions matter. Timing matters. The way one movement melts into another matters.
Sequences can build, peak, release, soften, expand, and become still. The class becomes more than a collection of postures — it becomes a journey.
Music creates rhythm. Rhythm creates repetition. Repetition creates pattern. Pattern creates an opportunity for the mind to become absorbed in the present moment.
Sometimes movement follows the beat. Sometimes breath follows the beat. And sometimes the most powerful moment is complete stillness. The music supports the yoga — the yoga never becomes choreography for the music.
Build strength, awareness, and understanding. Learn how remaining inside a posture reveals alignment, compensation, breath, and the mind.
Sequencing so flow feels natural rather than rushed — movement with rhythm, progression, and purpose.
Explore kriya, mantra, breath, repetition, meditation, and energetic practices that work beyond the muscular body.
How stillness, time, and sensation create an entirely different relationship with the body — active muscular stretching versus passive surrender.
Learn when the most intelligent thing you can ask the body to do is less. Create conditions where students can soften, receive, and rest.
A powerful teacher isn't simply watching whether someone can do the pose — she's observing. The Assana Method™ trains you to become curious about the body instead of imposing a shape onto it.
Where are they compensating, or disconnected?
Do they need more mobility, or more strength?
Can they breathe? Can they feel themselves?
Every time you practice remaining present inside an intentional challenge, you are also training the mind. The mat becomes a laboratory for life. Strengthen the Body. Train the Mind.
The physical practice is only one limb of yoga. Throughout training, Christina brings together teachings from multiple lenses of yogic philosophy so you can understand yoga beyond the shapes — not to memorize Sanskrit terminology for a test, but to actually apply it to your life.
Anyone can memorize a cue. A teacher understands what's happening beneath the words — how to explain what students should feel, offer intelligent modifications, and hold space without making class about your own performance.
When you understand the principles of movement, you no longer need someone else's sequence in front of you. What does this group need today? Where should the class peak, and where should it soften? Then you create — this is where teaching becomes artistry.
You love yoga but feel like there's so much more you want to understand.
You want to know why poses and sequences work, instead of simply memorizing them.
You want to become stronger physically while learning how to help others become stronger.
You love philosophy and want to understand yoga beyond asana.
You love music and movement, and want to learn multiple styles rather than being boxed into one method.
You want to create your own sequences and feel confident teaching.
Or maybe you don't even know if you want to teach professionally — you just know yoga has changed your life and you're ready to go deeper. You belong here too.
Yes, you're learning how to teach yoga. But you're also learning how to become the person standing at the front of the room — grounded, prepared, present, confident, connected.
The Assana Method™ teaches you the physical practice. Everything But Asana™ teaches you how yogic wisdom extends beyond it — together, a complete understanding of what it means to be a yoga teacher.
Not the end of your work. The beginning of it.
