About Ara Lyman & Shala Living Yoga
Ara was the first studio owner in Spokane to develop a yoga studio with a multi-style concept.
This approach opened the doors for her to host and travel to study with a diverse group of master teachers locally and from around the world — such as… Guru Singh, Kia Miller, Sada Simran Singh, Pandit Rajmani, Anand Mehrotra, Scott Lamps and Ida Jo, Geoffrey Torkington, Beth Gallis, Katie Cooley, Allison Rubin, Rhea Slichter and others.
Ara is unique in the yoga world because she not only has a vast and varied field of knowledge but never stopped teaching regular studio classes. Many teacher trainers are out of touch with the student experience and haven’t taught regular, scheduled classes in studios for years.
Because of her hands-on approach to running her studio, Ara has received daily feedback from students that inform her teacher trainings, and allow her courses to be shaped for the greatest impact. Her trainings will bring the results you crave through a comprehensive course that gives you plenty of time and practice to incorporate and integrate what you’ve learned.
What Other Students Wanted to Know Before Joining…
+ I'm new to yoga. Can I still participate?
Absolutely! Just like you, I was once intimidated to try yoga, and I didn’t really understand what it could do for me. That’s why, when I started to teach, it was extremely important to me to deliver classes and courses that were accessible, inclusive, and effective. Generally, if you are newer to the practices, you may want to take this course for self fulfillment rather than teaching. However, over the many months we will meet, practice asana and teaching yoga together, you will gain the skills to teach and you may decice you feel ready to do so. Either way, this training will support your yogic growth wherever you are at.
