Each of our speakers has spent decades refining their craft and transmitting the kind of embodied Wisdom that cannot be learned in a 200-hour training.

They were chosen because they each hold a vital facet for the Extraordinary Yoga Teacher: Clarity, Steadiness, Presence and true Teaching Mastery.

The Extraordinary Yoga Teacher Summit gives you the opportunity to learn directly from them, ask real questions, and participate in meaningful conversations that elevate your teaching.

Together, they form a rare council of Leaders whose combined Transmissions can elevate an entire generation of yoga teachers - like you!


They are two of the most skilled, knowledgeable, engaged, and compassionate educators that I've had the privilege to study with. Every one of them has been life-changing."
Kim Setteducati-Mann

​"
The personal growth you'll experience will inform your life, deepen your own personal practice and give you the tools you need to become the yoga teacher students come back for."

​Come because you want to be steadier in the room.

Come because your students deserve more than what a 200-hour training covered.

The teachers who show up to this summit are the ones who take their teaching seriously enough to keep learning.

"I have received deep teachings and mentorship with Daniela and Christopher, as a Yoga teacher, as a mother, as a business owner. Every program they offer is packed with such compassion, wisdom, and heart."

​~ Kimberly Beekman, yoga teacher (also a Summit presenter)
