In the spring of 2000, Sianna was introduced to the Rasa theory of yoga for the first time, and she instantly felt a flash of recognition in her heart. Sianna remembers thinking that Rasa Yoga would be a great name for a yoga school. It is with great joy that she now offer Rasa Yoga into the world!
Today, after nearly 3 decades of practicing yoga, and 24 years teaching tens of thousands of students (including thousands of yoga teachers) around the world, that vision is coming to fruition.
Rasa is the “taste, juice, and nectar”... it’s the willingness to say ‘yes’ to whatever experience we might encounter in our lives and in our psyche. Only in fully turning toward these experiences, whether joyful or painful, can we extract the essence of that experience and alchemize it into its highest frequency, which is love itself.
The practice of Rasa Yoga is a Bhakti fusion of asana, mantra, mudra, pranayama, meditation, chanting, ritual and earth prayer. Rasa is the celebration of love as the source of ALL and yoga is coming home to the whole of YOU!

The Krishna module opens the spirit of play and creativity for teaching once the fundamental skills are stabilized and anchored. Creativity is the juice of life and yoga frees up the restrictions that block the creative flow. As the teacher gains confidence in their own unique gifts, they learn to give voice to the sacred play of life unfolding within the practices of yoga. This comprehensive module reviews all the fundamental teaching methodology and opens up the creative gateways of teaching through storytelling, sequencing and theming. As Krishna shines like the sun and glows as the moon, there will be an emphasis on the balance of Solar and Lunar teachings, on Fire and Nectar mandala integration in the overall structure of personal practice and teachings.
