Just to clarify - I'm a yoga teacher, not a yoga instructor.

Shitali means "cooling technique" in Sanskrit. And it's actually a whole framework used in both Ayurveda and Yoga Cikitsa (Yoga Therapy) to support the reduction of inflammation in the whole body and mind.

The autonomic nervous system is always dancing its way to balance. It’s always wanting to return to homeostasis. A healthy fascial system supports that yearning - it can help improve mood, focus, cognition, and of course movement.

If there is connection everywhere, if there’s structure and order, and if a loving force is guiding it, then there must be a reason, there must be a purpose for our lives. And there must be a goal. The goal, according to the yogis, is realizing the connection, realizing the oneness.⁠

As the population ages, more and more people will want better and better advice about self-care practices.

Go deeper. Don't limit yourself to mechanics, alignment, or fascia.
Teach yoga that changes lives.
Teach yoga that's sophisticated and nuanced.
Teach the philosophy and lifestyle of yoga.
Teach yoga that's transformational.
Teach yoga that speaks to the nervous system, the heart, and the spirit.

We have these three major components of practice - meditation, asanas, and pranayama - the magical synergy happens when you understand how to combine them in meaningful ways - and it doesn't have to be complicated!
