Yoga is often associated with physical health, however, your overall wellbeing involves much more than just the body. Yoga allows a presence of mind that gives us greater capacity to choose experiences that support how we want to feel. A Guide for Everyday Life 'Yoga is more than asana, it is a state of being. The Yogasutra are a guide to help us operate at our highest potential and create a deep sense of peace and contentment.' What is Patanjali's Yogasutra? Patanjali's Yogasutra is one of the most.

The Yoga Well Institute is an organization dedicated to Yoga, meditation, and holistic health in the tradition of Viniyoga. We provide a safe, supportive, and caring Yoga community, where people experience sustainable transformation, come out of suffering, and learn how to help others do the same thing.
Yoga Therapy creates sustainable transformation in anyone who is committed to the process of a daily practice and an ongoing one-on-one relationship with a Mentor (certified Yoga Therapist). It is a holistic healing discipline that addresses the entire person and all their aspects (body, mind, emotions, behaviors, breath & spirit) in an interconnected way.
At the Yoga Well Institute, we hold Yoga to be the process of each and every person becoming more authentically themselves. We stand with Black Lives Matter as a movement, and strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for students. While our institute is currently predominantly white, we have teachers and students of all colors and orientations.
Meditation is a pillar of Yoga - and it is best treated as a process. Our meditation courses are designed to help you understand the process while you move through it, no matter your experience or comfort level with meditation. A weekly guided meditation with praayama preparation, excellent for beginners!

I have been a student at Yoga Well for many years and wouldn't want to take classes anywhere else. Chase Bossart is a scholar and a long time, devoted student of TKV Desikachar. The teachers there are some of the best in the country. I have particularly enjoyed the weekly meditation classes and the Application of Meditation discussions afterwards.
I also highly recommend Ayurvedic classes with Elizabeth-she really knows Ayurveda and the importance of blending Ayurveda and Yoga practices for optimal health and well being.

It would be hard to overstate the impact that studying with Chase Bossart, through Yoga Well, has had on my life. I took a workshop with Chase in 2016, and it was the first time I actually understood anything in regards to the Yoga Sutra. I felt so connected to his teaching that I enrolled in Yoga Well's yoga therapist training. Over the course of the training my understanding of yoga, my understanding of my self deepened in ways that I am still surprised by!
Even after completing my program I continue to study with Chase in online yoga sutra and meditation classes. I have recommended the yoga therapy training to my students, and am happy to know that one of them will be starting their journey with Yoga Well this fall.

At Yoga Well the training is rigorous. Chase, the Founder, is a gifted, generous, human teacher with superb communication skills, a depth of knowledge, and an ability to integrate the many branches of yoga with practical applications. Attending classes is enjoyable and satisfying. After many years of studying with Chase, and others, in the Krishnamacharya/Desikachar tradition, I have better tools to help my students and find it easier to maintain balance in my life and my relationships.

Yoga Well Institute is a jewel among the Yoga schools. Their understanding of Yoga is so rich and well established in the tradition of T Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar. Studying with the Yoga Well Institute has shifted my experience of Yoga to a new level, practically and intellectually. In-depth philosophy classes, meditation classes and seminars have deepened my understanding of Yoga and how to apply it to my personal life.
Working with a mentor, who creates my personal yoga practice and who I can discuss my experiences with, has been game-changing. If you wanna deepen your Yoga, learn about the context, philosophy and function of it, along with a dedicated community: this is the place to go! I highly recommend it. Especially I appreciate the online format. This allows you to benefit from Yoga Well Institutes teachings even from the other side of the globe!

I have been studying meditation and yoga with Chase Bossart and Yoga Well Institute since 2012. The Wednesday morning meditations and application of meditation classes were and are so fascinating that I changed the direction of my career to focus on designing and studying yoga-based meditation. I did the 300 hour yoga teacher training and yoga sutra chapter 3 and yogasutra chapter 4.
Every week (for 9 years!) I learn and grow. Clearly this wonderful experiential journey has no end. Chase is a delight. Brilliant, funny, human, a great teacher with deep background in the yoga of TKV Desikchar and Sri Krishnamacharya. And his own path of learning continues all the time. I so respect a lifelong commitment to learning. Yoga Well has nurtured a large and growing international community of students (many of whom are now teachers) for whom the philosophy and practice of yoga are central to daily life. Amazing the deep friendships that develop. THANK YOU Chase and Yoga Well.

I've been studying the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with Chase Bossart for 6 years. I'm so grateful for his deep understanding of this text and Sanskrit, his down to earth style and his sincere desire for the practical understanding and application of this awesome text for all who come to study with him. Through consistent studies of this text with Chase, I have deepened my understanding of what yoga is, applied these awarenesses, and feel I have a roadmap for life outside and more importantly, inside of myself.
I would, and do, absolutely recommend checking out Yoga Well Institute! Oh yeah, Chase connected me with a mentor, whom I've been with for many years now. Having a mentor has been life changing in the most positive of ways!

Yoga Well provides engaging, insightful, and practical teachings on all aspects of yoga in the Viniyoga tradition. The Yoga Sutra courses study the text line by line in a way that is both reverent to the tradition and relevant to life in today's world. As a student of Yoga Well I have learned so much, not only about ancient texts, but perhaps even more importantly about myself.
