About Us
Savitri Yoga School is a trauma and resiliency informed institute dedicated to offering accessible, inclusive yoga education through classes, trainings, workshops, continuing education, and certification courses.
Our body positive school seeks to dismantle the current culture in Western yoga of celebrity and elitist pedestal worship. We truly do believe that yoga is for EVERY BODY. Our courses are designed to help teachers and students alike develop their practice in a way that is tailored to their needs of the moment. We encourage you to listen and respond to yourself from a deep and connected place.
We are different than most any other school in that we approach yoga from the inside out. Our goal lies in guiding you to feel your way into the pose or practice instead of asking you to apply a practice into which you must make yourself fit.
The impetus for this school arose from the deep connection and kinship experienced between co-founders Courtney Stratton and Adriana Pickering. Through a shared vision, the school emerged and in its inception embodies every principle taught in our programs.
In many other schools, either science and technique are emphasized at the expense of the mystical and energetic, or the opposite is true. In this way, the current yoga education available is lopsided, making yoga rigid and lifeless, or woo woo and ungrounded. SYS seeks to balance this deficit in that our programs are all grounded in science and tradition, while infused and inspired by spirit.
The heart and soul of this institute is organized around the love and passion for assisting every individual in feeling at home in their bodies, in our community, in the world, and in the Cosmos.
