Teaching yoga in traditional way is always my focus. My attention will ensure that students and YTT's get the most out of my classes and training. After practicing yoga for 20 plus years, it's time to pass on my knowledge to new teachers.

I recently realized that most people in my life are yogis in one way or another, and I love that fact! I have mentors worldwide who were gracious enough to take me under their wings and guide me.I will always be a student. My life's goal is to share Yoga in the most intimate, traditional and personal way that I can.
theSYTC’s trainings are life changing and fabulous.

Yoga has brought ancient techniques into this century; 5-10,000 years of history, offering every student an opportunity to achieve strength and healing. The wide world of yoga expands endlessly... and now our Aerial Yoga story begins:
My background in dance, and from a young age through college, I did ballet. I have always loved fitness, and at one point I discovered YOGA! Going to many classes and feeling like maybe yoga wasn’t for me at the time, I stumbled into one of Rob’s classes and was intrigued. His style of yoga was new and unique to me. I took my first 200-HR training from theSYTC , and soon learned that a yoga life is a life I want to live, what I want to do, and what I must share.
At our training, students learn to teach and help students grow in their practice. We train teachers to cue and adjust students, not to practice alongside students. A yogi doing class with students is unique to San Antonio but not expected or encouraged in India or places in the U.S. where yoga first emerged. Come and join our community; you'll be happy you did. I lead the 100-HR Aerial Yoga Training, our AYTT is Vinyasa Flow style, which is also unique. Iyengar was a genius , and with his contribution to Yoga, we have our beloved Aerial as well as props like blocks and straps.

Our mission is to bring a traditional style of yoga where teachers do not participate in yoga practice with students; teachers learn to cue, instruct, and adjustments students to help them grow in their practice. In the Western part of the US, where so many yogis first arrived, the focus was on strength, alignment, and the student, not the teacher. There is a need for this style of yoga in San Antonio, Texas.
We are here to help you realize your dreams and encourage others to manifest their goals.
"NO" TO HOT YOGA!“Yoga is not about extremes,” Kurilla said. “As the Dalai Lama said, the highs are very high, the lows are very low, and the middle is very boring. But after time, it becomes much more profound.”
Hot yoga proponents told the Washington Post in 2017 that "doing the exercise in a heated room strengthens the heart, clears out the veins, cleanses impurities from the body, and boosts the immune system.
The heat forces the heart to beat faster, which advocates say provides a better cardiovascular workout and burns more calories."
They also make the point that yoga comes from India, where the climate is warm.
But Kurilla fires back, “They don’t practice outside in the hot weather. They practice in the morning before the sun comes up and in the evening after the sun goes down.”
Yoga in a heated room is a novel, contentious experiment in the 5,000-year history of yoga.
There’s a thick bundle of modern scientific studies documenting the potential for conventional yoga to lower stress and blood pressure and improve flexibility and balance.
But little is known about what happens when you move yoga into a super-heated room.
Safety concerns about hot yoga
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) published a 2015 study that raised concerns about Bikram yoga.
During a 90-minute class, body temperature rose consistently in healthy participants experienced in hot yoga, the study found. The participants’ temperatures topped out at 103 degrees, narrowly missing the 104-degree threshold that doctors consider dangerous. Choose your yoga wisely. Yoga is not trendy.
