Nu SCHOOL YOGA

Yoga is about more than the physical movements and poses, it's about cultivating understanding and deepening your practice through education. That is why continual learning is woven into our studio culture. Through Nu School, we offer specialized trainings and courses for students looking for more insight through guided practices, informative discussions, and extensive trainings.

Completed Workshops

  • Guest Series: Erin Kelly

    Guest teacher Erin Kelly brought her traditional style, stemming each movement from the core all the while cultivating a slow and lasting graceful strength. Students could choose thier adventure, with chances to find flight in inversions/arm balances and submerge one in a shape longer.

    Her immersive experience was open to the public and could be taken for 30HR CET or as part of the 300HR YTT Module with Authentic Movements.ou.

  • Be. Bloom. Become.

    Guest teachers CJ and Shelby joined us for three sessions focused on the arc of becoming: anchoring awareness, building strength with softness, and opening into movement that supports what’s true for each body.

    Inspired by the principles of Awakening Yoga, we explored vinyasa-based practices that blend traditional asana, functional movement, and thoughtful sequencing.

  • Guest Series: Shelby Heintzelman

    Shelby was the Guest Instructor to come to FORUM in 2025 as part of our Guest Series.

    She brought a weekend of classes that helped people gain awareness in their bodies and encouraged attention to the breath to move them into a mind-body connection.

  • Teaching Inversions

    Our yoga workshop on teaching inversions and arm balances was designed to help yoga teachers deepen their understanding of these challenging poses and provide effective instruction to their students.

    Throughout the workshop, students learned the anatomy and principles of inversions and arm balances, as well as the common mistakes and how to avoid them.

  • Re-Patterning

    Focused on redefining the basics of yoga and identifying habits and imbalances. We combined modern movements with classical yoga to find the continuum of anatomical truth in your body.

    Re-patterning utilizes techniques to unlock tension, support the body's natural alignment, and train new habits. Over time, this allows for increased ease and flow in asana practice.

  • Inhale, Exhale, Repeat

    Breathing is a fundamental aspect of yoga. Understanding the mechanics of the diaphragm is essential for teaching efective breathing technicques. This workshop was a comprehensive look at all things breath.

    By bringing awareness to the breath we can reduce stress, cultivate presence, increase oxygen flow through the body, gain self-regulation skills, and access restorative states to promote healing.

  • Advanced Anatomy

    A dynamic course focused on the science behind stretching taught by our instructor Liz, a PhD student at The University of Kentucky in the Rehabilitation and Health Sciences Program and a certified athletic trainer.

    Designed for yoga instructors, this course deepens understanding of the body's mechanics and enhances your ability to guide students safely and effectively.

  • PRIVATE PRACTICE

    We join forces with David Aulick, the owner and founder of Athlete House PT. Together, we will delve into the intricacies of a mobility assessment, a powerful tool designed to pinpoint areas of the body that may be tight or restricted. You will learn how to craft a personalized yoga practice tailored to address these specific areas.

I gained more strength than I could have ever imagined, fixed many alignment issues in my practice, and learned what it is like to fully acquire proprioception in my body. Casey and Christina are knowledgeable, wise, experienced, and compassionate. They want you to succeed, and they will stop at nothing to move you forward in the world of yoga. I am beyond grateful for my experience with Saj Yoga."
