"Sadhana is a Sanskrit word whose root, sadh, means to reclaim that which is divine in us, our power to heal, serve, rejoice, and uplift the spirit... The goal of sadhana is to enable you to recover your natural rhythms and realign your inner life and daily habits with the cycles of the universe."
— Maya Tiwari
No other studio in Knoxville offers this level of training and expertise. We go beyond the typical studio training by diving deep into yoga's subtle internal dynamics, hands-on adjusting, and Vinyasa Krama sequencing — a culmination of 30 years of work and study.
Koshas, Vayus, Samskara, Granthis. Understand the energetic foundation of yoga that most programs never touch.
Light touch, firm touch, and heavy adjustments. Expert techniques refined over 30+ years of daily practice.
Surya Namaskara A/B/C/D, spiraling, apex pose sequencing, and bridging. Intelligent, progressive flow design.
Ujjayi Pranayama, Mula/Uddiyana/Jalandhara Bandhas, Drishti, and Mudra — the internal dynamics of asana.
Stacking, leverage points, rotation patterns, and kinesiology. The science behind the art of adjusting.
Whether your path includes teaching or not, the knowledge acquired deepens personal practice and body/mind awareness.
The intention of this yoga is to maximize human potential. Great health and fitness, internal cleansing, de-stressing, and peace of mind are all aspects of this quest — but they are not the foundation or primary purpose. They are the notes, chords, rhythm and melody. Yoga is the song.
This practice is a guidebook for navigating the soul's path and harmonizing with your life's purpose, your underlying Dharma. It speaks the truth at the deepest level, and those who are truly devoted to its practice have an innate understanding of this fact.
Philip has enjoyed a lifelong passion for unlocking and optimizing human potential. With over 30 years of daily hands-on experience, RYI's training is a culmination of decades of work and study that Philip now shares with the next generation of practitioners and teachers.
His expertise in hands-on adjusting, assisting, and posture sequencing is unmatched in the Knoxville area. Even if your path doesn't include teaching, the knowledge acquired deepens your personal practice and body/mind awareness.
