Private yoga and coaching sessions
Each session is designed around the client’s individual needs. I usually like to sit and talk over tea to discover what needs to be addressed. Then we go to the mat, or if just coaching input is desired, continue with our process of exploration, and strategy setting. I like to make our sessions together a powerful learning opportunity.

An Overview of My Yoga Instruction  

Will Doran yoga; Will Doran Anusara Certified Yoga teacher; life coach; yoga coach; Seattle yoga; Anusara Seattle Yoga is one of my life’s true passions and I have been practicing the art since 1998.  I received my first certification as an instructor in 2001 and  I furthered my studied completing an additional in-depth 500 hour teacher training in the Anusara lineage in 2014. I currently hold the Yoga Alliances highest rating of “Experienced Registered Yoga teacher, 500 hours.

     Anusara Yoga has been the strongest influence in my teaching since I started studying it in early 2004. It is a  deeply spiritual and heart-felt style of yoga that emphasizes “flowing with Grace”  and making an intimate connection with the intrinsic goodness within us while creating a steady and grounded foundation. 

     I strive to bring passion, playfulness and a deep reverence into each class I  teach.   My classes are life-affirming and full of opportunities to create integration and a sense of freedom and ease.  I bring a lot of energy, light and fun into each class as we explore alignment and heart themes that deepen the  learning.   My classes are designed to inspire and create optimal health on all levels of being. I study and teach from a Tantric-based yoga philosophy that provides  us a profoundly rich language and structure for cultivating a sensitivity to our divine nature.  

 The philosophical background of Anusara yoga comes from the rich wisdom of non-dual Tantra. It is a poetic and beautiful practice that recognizes that Supreme Consciousness is alive and aware in all things, including us as individuals.  It encourages us to cultivating an intimate  awareness of a unifying force that pulses all around and through us.  As such, we learn to aligning our relationship with the body, mind, and spirit so as to live with a compassionate and open heart.  This focus on awareness helps us to align with our personal relationships, community and world at large. My goal as a teacher is to help the student make more connections and deepen their awareness of this bigger pulse.  The deeper the  relationship, the more we cultivate a sense of freedom and ease through  the process; the more we open to the fullness of our senses, intuition  and ability to maintain an open heart.

      I teach a wide variety of  yoga poses sequenced in a way to explore the power and delight of precise alignment while flowing with grace.  Each student is honored for who they are and whatever physical shape they are in. We explore diverse ways to break through the resistances–both physical and energetic–that keep us from seeing our own awesomeness and radiance. By cultivating playfulness, along with the discipline of  refinement, we progress through the poses and the higher refinement of our personal transformation.   My teaching reflects this open and soft approach to a non-competitive and deeply spiritual practice, on the mat and off.  In each class we look to  experience the radiance of Spirit and find unique and creative ways to go deep and have fun at the same time.  By exploring heart-oriented  themes we recognize that life’s challenges are also life’s blessings; allowing ourselves to feel deeply and live  passionately we learn and grow.  We move compassionately through the poses using the body as a tool to connect with the deeper layers of our being and shine from the inside out.
