Why Bring Circle Yoga Shala to Your Studio?
For nearly three decades, Matt & Holly have trained teachers, practitioners, and therapists in an integrative approach that blends the somatic intelligence of asana, breath, biomechanics, philosophy, and contemplative practice.
Studios host our trainings because they want offerings that are authentic, rigorous, and transformative — without having to design a full curriculum from scratch.
Hosting CYS allows your community to access:
◇ Complete, time-tested curricula
◇ Faculty with decades of embodied experience
◇ A lineage-based approach that honors tradition and modern science
◇ Training formats that adapt to your studio’s rhythm
◇ Professional partnership, communication, and support
What We Bring to You & your community

Favored workshops —
Depth-Based Teachings for Your Community
Our most requested workshops showcase the heart of our lineage—where ancient wisdom, embodied practice, and lived experience converge. These sessions offer studios an accessible way to introduce profound study without requiring a full training. Each workshop invites your community into deeper inquiry, clearer perception, and a more holistic understanding of practice, self, and one another.
Yogic Philosophy with Matthew
Matt brings more than three decades of lived study in the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and the parallel teachings found in our Gospels. His approach moves far beyond memorized philosophy; he offers a grounded, experiential understanding of these texts and how they illuminate the modern human condition. Participants receive teachings that are both timeless and immediately relevant, delivered with clarity, rigor, and heart.
Wisdom Pathways with Holly
Holly teaches the Enneagram as a wisdom system for unveiling unconscious patterns and restoring presence, and the Yoga of Recovery as an embodied integration of the 12 Steps and the Yoga Sutras. These complementary pathways invite surrender, ethical clarity, and self-remembering beyond self-improvement alone. Each supports freedom from compulsive living and the maturation of a stable, lived spiritual life.
Ayurveda with Stela
Stela brings the nuanced cosmology of Ayurveda to life, revealing why this ancient science cannot be reduced to simple “dosha tests.” She helps teachers and practitioners understand Ayurveda as a holistic lens for seeing the whole person. Her workshop empowers students to apply Ayurvedic wisdom skillfully in practice, teaching, and everyday life, cultivating more attuned and compassionate care for community.

Option 2: Flat Rate
We provide a flat fee per engagement, and the host can decide what to charge participants. This option has no minimum number of participants.
