STRENGTH & CONDITIONING TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOP with CARLY
Learn to teach Strength & Conditioning with confidence in this comprehensive 3-hour workshop designed to sharpen your sequencing, cuing, pacing, and class tone — all set to fun, high-energy music.
This training breaks down the structure of a powerful, full-body S&C class, including exercise classification (push vs. pull, hip vs. knee dominant, single vs. double leg), safe and effective form with weights, strategic sequencing, cardio integration, and dynamic, motivating cuing. You’ll practice building your own 45-minute class and refine your verbal adjustments to promote safety, clarity, and momentum. This is not yoga or yoga sculpt, it’s a strength-based workout class focused on building lean muscle with smart programming and strong leadership.
Attendees will receive Kalā Yoga Strength & Conditioning Certification and gain access to two on-demand video sequences to support continued learning and implementation after the workshop.
Come ready to move, practice, cue, and build.

SUMMER SOLSTICE: 108 SUN SALUTATIONS (Surya Namaskar) with JEREMY
Mark the shift of the season with a powerful and meditative journey through 108 rounds of Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar).
This special practice is designed as both a physical challenge and a ritual of renewal. Rooted in yogic tradition, the number 108 holds symbolic significance, representing wholeness, connection, and the space between effort and surrender. Together, we’ll move, breathe, and flow as a community, building heat, focus, and rhythm with each round.
Students are encouraged to move at their own pace, take breaks when needed, and modify throughout. Whether you complete all 108 or simply take part in the experience, this practice is an invitation to connect more deeply with your body, your breath, and the collective energy of the room.
Expect a thoughtfully paced flow, intentional music, and an extended savasana to integrate the practice.
All levels welcome. Come as you are.
