Breathwork Training and Retreat for Yoga Teachers

Breathwork, or what the yoga tradition calls pranayama, builds on your posture practice and is a profound way to help your students to the next level in their yoga journey. It truly is a key to unlock hidden healing potential in all of us, even the most experienced yoga practictioner.

This retreat is designed for you to feel the power of breathwork for yourself and gain skills to share it with your students. Also because we are here in San Diego just steps from the ocean there is so much support for you from nature. It truly will be out of this world.

Jason Hulshof our Head Teacher will be your leader. He has close to 25 years teaching experience leading yoga and pranayama experiences and has had a part in training thousands or yoga teachers. His guidance is filled with both the intensity required to move you beyond ordinary limits and the the compassion and empathy to support you along the way.

Classes

Each day on your mat is a beautiful opportunity to pour your heart into your practice whether it is your first day in yoga or your 5,000th practice. Although our classes can be physically demanding, HeartYoga is a safe space to be as you are. All of our classes are breathing classes first; everything else is secondary. All are welcome!

Follow the Yogi

Set in a quiet, hot room, Follow the Yogi is a series of powerful, ancient postures based on the Ashtanga yoga system that support strength and vibrancy within. This is a chance to practice along with your teacher and create a communal yoga spirit. Keep in mind instruction is minimal and this class is not appropriate for first-time yoga students.

Hot Vinyasa

Hot Vinyasa is a vigorous moving meditation where you connect deeply with the most intelligent teacher in any yoga class–Your own body!

We use music, dynamic sequences and flow to help you get out of your head and into a creative rhythm of breath and movement. Class is heated (85-90) so you will sweat and you will leave feeling powerful, peaceful and free.

Deep Vinyasa

Deep Vinyasa is a slower sequence that encourages moving inward. Through feeling postures with the eyes closed, we explore the healing connection between mind and body. This is a warm/hot class.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a meditative class where postures are held for 5-10 minutes in a warm room. This creates a profound release of the body’s connective tissue—like deep calming bodywork. It’s a wonderful practice for those seeking peace and inner quiet.

Yoga & Metta

Yoga & Metta is a class where we use a flow of yoga postures and breath-work to open the energetic channels of our mind/body. Then practice the ancient healing art of Metta–The meditation of universal lovingkindness. For anyone looking to open their heart this is a wonderful practice.

Meditation Period

For those who wish to learn to meditate or deepen their current practice. The teacher begins the hour with some simple instructions and may offer more guidance throughout the hour depending on the students’ level of experience. Students should bring their own meditation cushion as props are very limited. This is free class open to the community.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Short-Form

The Short-Form is an adaptation of the Primary Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in a hot room. In this class you have time to breath into postures – we often hold them for 5 breaths. This develops an intuitive understanding of how your body can embrace these ancient shapes. This is a great class for first-time students.

Community Yoga

This class is open to the community and offered on a donation basis. Classes are taught by our teachers in training. Come support their growth and build your practice!

The class format may change based on the format the trainee is working on, but it will always be a chance to get out of your head, move into your body and find greater balance/wholeness.

Teachers

Jason Hulshof

Jason has been teaching yoga since 1998 and has seen it help thousands of people change their lives for the better. Originally self-taught, he found his teacher, Jonny Kest, in the year 2000. After 16 years of working closely with his teacher and helping to train hundreds of yoga teachers across the country, he founded HeartYoga in 2016. If you want to feel enlightened and empowered and are willing to work to get it, you will find something in his teaching that nourishes your spirit. Come share your love!

Since first discovering the free flowing style of hot vinyasa 6 years ago, Eda has barely missed a daily yoga practice. Though she never intended to teach yoga, after completing her 300 hour yoga teacher training with Jason, the knowledge she gained was too good not to share. Yoga has taught her how to be a devoted student of the practice and a teacher with the desire to craft experiences that lead her students on a path towards self acceptance. Eda believes in the power of community and tries to create a sense of belonging, hope, trust, love and freedom for all her students. She’s been a student of HeartYoga since day one and can’t wait to share her love of the studio with you!

To Lejla, yoga is personal. It is a grounding and liberating practice that gives the practitioner an insight to their truest self.

She believes that we all have gifts that can change the world that can be unlocked through yoga.

Being a busy college student and an active creative person on a mission; yoga is how she ties everything together and stays grounded. She is continuously moved and transformed by the benefits her own personal practice and wants to share the same gift with the world.
