Teacher's Training
BYB Yoga Principles
Testimonial
"The knowledge I've gained at their teacher training sessions and the practical
experience I've gotten in their classes has been invaluable. Their depth of knowledge
about the body and how to practice safely is absolutely amazing. They are genuinely
supportive and encouraging of their students and I am a better teacher for them."
L.H. 2009 graduate
"The body relies on a complicated system of balances, in scientific terminology
called homeostasis. No portion of our anatomy, be it gland or organ, brain or muscle,
functions well without a constant return to a state of balance where all things are as they
should be. Physically we defy our homeostasis through poor postures, repetative movements and
relentless inactivity. Yoga is a way of seeking homeostasis - the return to balance."
~ Julie Byrd
