Guru Karam Benton & Mehtab Benton
"Teaching yoga is more than a profession. It is a passion, a calling, an awakening to your own deep potentials and possibilities. As you learn to teach yoga, you will learn more about yourself, much more than you thought possible. You will discover the truly great and lifelong gift that yoga has to offer everyone and you will learn to share that gift with others."

“Spring Equinox 2013
Last nite we filled this building with higher vibrations. We chanted and played that primal and cosmic rhythm that flows trough us all.
Hare Om
How did I find my way onto the path; the path of Yoga, the way of the Earth, the way of the moons and the stars? It is in me. It was awakened in me by everything around me. Because of who I am I have found it. I did not find it because I was looking for it. It came to me and permeated my life. It is beyond me. It is not due to my efforts that I have come thus far. I have been led to where I am today, as a child follows his father on a path through the woods. The Elder always just rounding the next gentle or sharp turn through the trees and under growth as the child amazes at the sights smells and sensations of the forest around him. The child never stops following, it is who the child is. The child is a traveler on the path. The child will one day be, or perhaps already is, the Elder; the leader of a child through the forest.
So I find myself in the woods, being led down a beautiful path lined with the most exotic flowers and herbs. Smells that intoxicate and lure us away from walking. The path is narrow, and the footsteps I follow are always in an ears reach.
Life is one big road with lots of signs. What a wild ride I find myself on. I feel bombarded on all sides; hit by desire, satisfaction, movement and decay, struggle and victory. Knowledge keeps flowing and the world around my, my life and who I seem to be just keep blooming.
I have carried myself in unorthodox ways. As far as the norm of western orthodoxy and society goes. I find myself now leading such a large movement that will bring so much light and life into many lives. I am diving head first into it. I have hesitated up until now. I will run with the same heart led reckless abandon that leads the mystic experience. Be here now. Wow. It IS so simple. It is So close. I taste it on the smoke.
I have missed my target before, sure. It is all so easy for me now. I can be here and everywhere I need to be all at once. Through the struggle I have become pure as gold. Yet I am still molten for the fire is raging and is yet to rage on. I mix and flow with all that the fire turns into molten liquid. I am the gold. Flowing through it all, dancing with every single particle and impurity, yet always flowing onward, pure. Rage on Fire. Consume your fuel and let us dance in your heat. Go to what calls you. God is in everything everything. Or I may say that there is a rhythm in everything. Either that or disharmony. Harmony or chaos. Find your rhythm. The moon never misses a beat. The seasons are ever flowing in there harmony of growth and decay, north and south, the dark of winter and the green of spring. I am here where I am. I feel myself as I am. I am. I start from here and all flows. All I have experienced and learned is alive in me. I don’t have to rationalize and intellectualize. I just act in the utmost conscious, present and detached manner.
I do need discipline. I will destroy myself without it, it seems. All is in front of me. Even preconceptions are fading. Everything is becoming new. Death must happen for growth to take hold. What is going to die. Everything DIES. It is just one of those things. Our ideas of good and bad that frame our existence really fuck things up.
What good is planning? It is useful to be prepared but one can easily over plan, over pack and over think. One must be ever ready; ready to fully engage in the present moment.”
Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training - Gururattan Kaur Khalsa Ph.D
"Shakti the Serpent bids you "Sat Nam!" and welcome to Kundalini Yoga, an ancient technology sometimes referred to as the mother of all yogas, and arguably the most powerful and fast-acting yoga there is. As brought to the West in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan, it produces results up to 16 times faster than basic Hatha yoga!"
The Human Journey and the Soul:
"Our physical body is a gift to our soul. Our soul is given the opportunity to experience the ecstasy of love in a physical body on planet earth. Our body is exquisitely designed to be an instrument to tune us into higher frequencies of love which aligns us with the essence of our soul. These higher frequencies take us closer to God and to oneness with all beings. When properly attuned, our body is our vehicle to consciously experience and communicate with universal energies and our soul."
Anusara Yoga

Bowspring
Desi Springer & Micah Springer
"The history of the Bowspring system began in 2012 as a rebellious choice by Desi Springer to lift her tailbone in every dynamic posture throughout her day! In her first 14 years of yoga classes, Desi was instructed to tuck, scoop, and draw her hips and tailbone downward to improve her posture by every teacher she encountered. Her unusually deep lower back curve was widely considered excessive and a misalignment that would lead to painful spinal compression and degeneration. Although Desi tried her best to follow the alignment instructions to not excessively curve her lower back, she had a deep curve in her lower back all her life. Despite her best efforts, Desi could never flatten her lower back like her yoga teachers wanted her to do. Furthermore, the downward direction of the tail always felt contrary to her natural flow. Finally, in the Summer of 2012, Desi boldly announced to the teachers of Vital Yoga in Denver, she was going to follow her heart and not tuck her tailbone any more!"
Philosophy of Teaching & Alignment
Anusara
BKS Iyengar Yoga
“Iyengar Yoga, named after and developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, and described in his bestselling 1966 book Light on Yoga, is a form of yoga as exercise that has an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment in the performance of yoga postures which directly lead to other forms such as Anusara Yoga”
