Advanced Yoga Training and RYTs

Study with lead instructor, Scott Underwood. Scott holds a 500 HR E-RYT Teaching Credential, MFA in Creative Writing, and MA in English. He first picked up the Bhagavad Gita when he was in his early twenties. He saw this rich territory of thought and a pretty cool story as well. He followed this interest as an academic first. He also found that his passions for literature and writing led him to study yoga in a critical way. While studying with Scott, you will learn to break down the deep ideas of body and mind in a rational, logical, and creatively. 

Helping out with the training is Katlyn Greiner who will be assisting in both the anatomy and fun electives such a gentle, restorative, prenatal, etc. After practicing for 12+ years AND owning a yoga studio for several years, she finally decided to become a teacher herself in Scott’s very first teacher training. Since then she has been practicing her teaching both on and off the mat. Entering her 6th year as a college professor, Katlyn blends together the academic and eastern values of yoga in all of her teachings.
