About Us
Our Story
Still I Rise Yoga Academy offers online and in-person courses, yoga teacher trainings and retreats to those wanting to build a strong foundation in yoga or become a Yoga Teacher.
The name of our school embodies the resilience to overcome and rise above our challenges. Despite the obstacles that life inevitably throws at us, we view challenges as opportunities that help us to grow, learn lessons and become the best version of ourselves – a gift from the Universe. Chaos catalyses personal evolution. Every time we experience chaos and then personal evolution, an old part of us dies, like the dying phoenix being burnt into ashes. As we overcome adversity, this phase leads to rebirth where we become a more empowered and evolved human being. That is, “still” we rise. “Still” we transform. “Still” we continue to master ourselves and our life.
We are living a journey of never-ending growth, and this has been the founder’s journey. So, here at Still I Rise Yoga Academy, we provide trainings, courses and retreats to support you on your journey of healing and transformation, and empower you to rise to your highest potential.
