WHERE OUR GRADS ARE NOW

Yogamaya is magic. Being there helped me tap into my own magic & thread it through my teaching to 1000's of Yogis around the world.

Yogamaya's training, teachers, & community are the foundation for everything that's come since.

Anna Greenberg

Yoga Instructor
at Peloton

Everything I've done in yoga, personally and professionally, was a seed that started at Yogamaya.

Looking back, I realize how rich & powerful my time at Yogamaya was, and it gave me a lifetime of purpose to draw from.

Patrick Franco

Yogamaya is a special place. It feels like a place of offering, an open palm.

It is a sacred place of learning that continues to expand and nurture my life and provided me with a space to grow and develop as the teacher I am today.

Deborah Bagg

Yoga Teacher & Therapist

My training at Yogamaya gave me skills I use every day in my teaching: the ability to confidently speak about the body and at the same time, approach it with utmost curiosity.

ELEVATING YOGIS SINCE 2006

Inspired by her yogic journey, founder Bryn Chrisman designed Yogamaya as a magical oasis to escape the bustling city so you can come back to yourself – body, mind, and spirit.

Yogamaya is the perfect place to embark on your 300-hour journey, connected to the modern-day energy Chelsea (and our supportive community), and ancient India, the motherland of yoga.

Teaching since 2003, and Leading Teacher Trainings since 2006, Bryn brings over two decades of study, practice, and teaching into Yogamaya's Training Curriculum.

Even though the subject of Yoga is ancient, you will always enter into the most current conversations.

Senior Yogamaya Teachers, including guest experts Edwin Bryant and Jules Mitchell, bring their extensive experience, their care, expertise, and love of yoga to you, with each and every training session.
