About

Rational Yoga was born during a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Seattle, then expanded and deepened during a sadhana retreat on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand.

Surrounded by the lush jungles and pristine beaches of the Gulf of Thailand, immersed in daily practice and study, I spent my time on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the ethical framework of the Yamas and Niyamas, and the psychological insights of the Kleshas.

But here's what I discovered: without consistent, daily engagement with these concepts, they fade. The depth and mastery that come from truly integrating yoga philosophy into your life requires repetition, reflection, and practice.

Most yoga apps focus on asana, the physical postures. But the physical practice is just one of the eight limbs. The philosophical foundations are where a lot of the real change happens.

Rational Yoga takes a different approach. It presents yoga philosophy through a reality-based, rational lens, so Sanskrit concepts are easier to follow and easier to use in everyday life.

No mysticism. No dogma. Just clear thinking and consistent practice.
