There are still a few spots left if you’re on the fence…kick down that barrier and message Jen to get signed up! It’s not too late! This training is for all ages, abilities and everyone who is willing to explore themselves, get curious about why the practice of Yoga has been such an amazing solution to so many issues for thousand of years. We will get real and raw and strong and capable and compassionate and tolerant and bold! You will explore so many emotions and responses as well as learn to breathe through the challenges while noticing the beauty in the smallest moments. If you’re interested in teaching and understanding the reasons why and how behind the postures and sequence so creatively this is the perfect choice!

You may have seen some new names on the schedule, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce our newest teachers 🤍 Taylor Dusseault Hi! I’m from Upper Michigan and went to MSU for my undergrad, where I completed my 200-hour training through Yoga State. I love to drink coffee, stay active, and travel!! After moving around a bit, I’m finally back in East Lansing for grad school. I’m so excited to be teaching at Yoga State this semester! I teach hot vinyasa classes that range from upbeat and energizing to moderate and light, depending on the day. I can’t wait to meet you all on the mat! Skyler Cordova Hi, I’m Skyler 💌 I moved to East Lansing for law school at MSU College of Law from Chicago, where I completed my undergrad. I’ve always had a passion for wellness, moving my body, focusing my mind, and supporting overall health, which is why I immediately fell in love with Pilates. I’ll be teaching Hot Mat Pilates. Where we will start grounded, sweat it out, and finish feeling strong, clear, and centered. All while bumping music and sweating it out. I can’t wait to move with you at Yoga State🕺🏽🪩🧘🏽‍♀️ Esme Rios Hi! I’m Esme Rios, I moved to EL in 2023 from Texas to attend law school at MSU. I am currently in my last semester and am teaching Hot Mat Pilates at Yoga State! I am trained in STOTT Pilates and am excited to see all the new faces in my YS classes this semester. ✨ Madison Chambers I’m Madison and I’ll be teaching Hot Vinyasa and Aligned Flow. I have been teaching yoga for 7 years and I love teaching creative flows that challenge my students while showing them how strong and capable they truly are! I just moved to Lansing to get my PhD in sport psychology at MSU where I study how yoga can be a preventative measure against disordered eating in young athletes. I’m so excited to get be apart of the Yoga State community!!

Yin is back!! But, what is it? Yin Yoga is a practice focused on working past the superficial layer of muscle into the deeper connective tissues – ligaments, tendons, fascia. While heat is perfect to allow the muscles to relax and lengthen in a Vinyasa practice, Yin is practiced in an unheated space so the stretch is targeted to the Yin-like connective tissues. Longer, static holds create feelings of deep relaxation and bring more stillness internally as well as externally. Yin provides more than just the physical benefits, as emotions are energetically held in the physical body. Approaching your Yin practice with respectful awareness and the addition of props (blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps, etc.) can support a deeper emotional experience. Yin is the perfect tool to balance out yang forms of yoga asanas, such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, etc. Even the most devoted practitioner of yang yoga can benefit from the increased flexibility and joint stability that Yin provides. From beginner to advanced practitioner, Yin is for you!
