Welcome Home
My name is Philip Ryan Deal and I am a clinically certified acupuncturist, aromatherapist, and herbalist. I have been teaching Yoga and Qigong for 20 years now and the creator of Lazy Monkey Yoga. On this website you can take the online master class to try the Lazy Monkey Yoga style. If you feel this practice is for you, consider taking my online teacher training program for your own enrichment or to be an instructor! I am based in Northampton Massachusetts, but I train students internationally also! Learn about my program below.
Three Lazy Monkey Yoga Class Styles
Philip's 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 is 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.
