I have been teaching Yoga and Qigong for 20 years and I am the creator of Lazy Monkey Yoga. I am based in Northampton Massachusetts, but I train students internationally! If you feel this practice is for you, consider taking my online teacher training program! The Lazy Monkey Yoga online teacher trainings are designed to allow students to move at a pace that is efficient for learning with maximum retention.
Lazy Monkey Yoga Class Styles
Lazy Monkey Yoga is taught as a 60-75 minute long class, although it can be extended to two full hours of stretching, moving meditation, and breathwork. There is a Yin (passive) practice called Lazy Monkey Yoga Foundations. There are also two Yang (active) forms. One is a Vinyasa Yoga Flow and the other is Yogic Calisthenics. Regardless of whether we are being passive or active while practicing we always adhere to the principles of natural movement and gentleness. Philip's style of Yoga is nothing special and the sequences are easy to learn. It's easy to practice on your own and easy to teach. It's based on the simple principle of balance and harmony. Even though the Yoga practice is easy, the meditation and self cultivation can last a lifetime.
