Calm in the Storm

Cultivating equanimity that holds, even when the ground shifts.

For one weekend, Dragon Asana welcomes internationally respected yoga teacher and educator Noah Mazé to Gunnison.

This is a pretty incredible opportunity for our little mountain community.

Noah has spent more than four decades immersed in the study and practice of yoga and is known for teaching with remarkable depth, precision, curiosity, and clarity. His work brings together intelligent asana, alignment, philosophy, breathwork, meditation, biomechanics, and a deep respect for the traditions of yoga.

And now we get to practice with him right here in Gunnison.

Three sessions. One weekend. Come for one or experience the whole thing.

Designed for experienced yoga teachers and dedicated yoga and movement students who have completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, this intensive offers both an educational and experiential journey into the remarkable intelligence of the human body.

Through anatomy-focused lectures and movement-based yoga labs, Noah will help you better understand your body’s structures, how they move, how they work together, and how to apply that knowledge to your personal practice and teaching.

• About Our Teacher Trainings

  • Our student body will be a diverse, virtual, global community of yogis with a wide range of experience. Participants will range from newer yoga practitioners to experienced teachers. Students with stiffness, challenges with yoga or meditation, injuries, and health issues are all welcome. If you are interested in a deeper understanding of yourself and your body, and if you want to develop tools that nourish your body, mind, and personal gifts, this training is for you and we encourage you to attend.

    This training follows the Mazé Method of yoga education, a step-by-step approach to becoming a skillful, confident teacher. The curriculum combines detailed alignment knowledge and intelligent sequencing with vinyasa theory to provide you with sound skills for teaching safe and effective yoga classes. Your teachers have spent over 50 years collectively investigating nearly every style of yoga, its practices, and associated philosophies. Their knowledge, combined with their approach to experiential education, creates a learning environment that is rich and multi-faceted.

    Students will learn to apply healthy critical thinking through an inquisitive approach to yoga studies. They’ll practice innovative teaching drills, gain clarity about how scientific principles substantiate training techniques, explore the deeper dimensions of yoga practice, and leave with a cutting-edge understanding of human movement and physiology. In all, students can expect to complete this training with new perspectives on yoga study, a greater understanding of biomechanical alignment principles, and expanded general knowledge.

    We will study and deconstruct asana (yoga poses), pranayama(breathwork), meditation, yoga theory, yoga practice, yoga history and philosophy, basic Sanskrit, and ethics. Each day will be a treasure trove of learning about anatomy, kinesiology, applied biomechanics, and how to use this knowledge to optimize your yoga and movement practice and teaching.

    In addition to the pre-recorded lessons and classes, Nichol and Noah will offer regular live sessions to facilitate community and collaboration, conduct teaching practicum, answer emerging collective questions, and further clarify lessons and topics as needed. Upon completion and graduation, students may choose to register with Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour RYT level.
