from woundedness into wholeness...

Yoga is a path of embrace, where we face and embrace all parts of ourselves so that we can transform our woundedness into wholeness and reclaim our lives with deep, immense Soul Beauty. 

As we welcome home the rejected, dejected, and hidden parts of ourselves, we begin a process of integration. It is a soul-crafting journey that reclaims our deep, shared humanity. Instead of dehumanizing each other, we rehumanize ourselves and anchor our mission. We rise to contribute to the world with a new vision, deep purpose, and reimagination. 

We focus on integration rather than bypassing the true deep work, and we need each other in the journey. Instead of giving up, we choose to show up. We practice and re-member who we truly are so that we can claim our gifts, celebrate them, and live our lives with aligned purpose. 

Together we are waking up and finding new solutions to the crises of the world. This is why we practice yoga and work together for the benefit of all beings. We value inclusivity and diversity and know this is the way forward. Our collective of teachers calls us to rise up in service to true Liberation. The practices of yoga are Liberatory.

The call of this teacher training is for true liberation in service to the greater whole.

I am beyond grateful for the experiences in being a student and a teacher of Rasa Yoga, founded by Sianna Sherman. 

Following the teacher training program in London ‘Rasa Yoga 300hrs my immersion in RasaYoga has set me on a learning (and unlearning) adventure. This has been so magical and transformative…and it is still unfolding! 

I am growing as a yoga teacher and deepening my practices through the teachings from both the Rasa Yoga 200hrs and 300hrs online programs. This has been a truly alchemical journey for me in Yoga, in Life. 

Sianna’s profound knowledge of Yoga, teaching methodology and approach is illuminating.

-Annet Richards-Binns, 500-Hour Rasa Yoga Graduate

 "I felt safe. I felt seen. I felt at home for maybe the first time ever.

The teachings of Rasa, and the dear friendships I've made have been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the courageous and heartfelt path that Rasa Yoga has empowered me to walk.

-Andrew Ragan, Rasa 500-hr Graduate

"Rasa Yoga YTT is life-changing!

They offer a thorough and comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training which deeply honors the lineages of yoga including Mantra, Mudra, Pranayama, Sanskrit, Asana, Philosophy, Anatomy, how to improve & develop your relationship with yourself & others; educating & bringing awareness on social justice and antiracism issues in the yoga industry [et al], and much more if you can imagine there being more! Never before have I completed a Yoga Teacher Training that encompasses all of these elements. It left me wanting to learn more and after having completed the 200HR training, I knew I had to complete their 300HR as soon as it became available; and I did! 

This program is so much more than learning how to become a yoga teacher; but rather how to use teachings of yoga to become a better human and through that gateway one blossoms into becoming a teacher who is knowledgeable, aware & attuned.

I would highly recommend Rasa Yoga School Yoga Teacher Training to anyone."

-Jennifer J. Rasa Yoga 500-hr Graduate

"I have recently completed a second teacher training with Sianna Sherman, the visionary force behind the Rasa Yoga collective.

I can only describe this training as a truly powerful alchemical journey, that moves you from birth to re-birth and way beyond.

Sianna’s teachings are so deep, thoughtful and skillful! Every bit of the training is a treasured seed that keeps unfolding and expanding within. I would recommend such a training to any yoga student and teacher aiming to immerse into the profound teachings of yoga, from every angle, from the roots, and from the heart.”

-Sergio Rasman, Rasa 500-hr Graduate
