Kaiut Yoga Method
What is Kaiut Yoga?
The yoga of the ancients was designed to work with bodies that lived and grew very differently from how our modern bodies live and grow. Dwelling in caves, squatting constantly, the ancients did not spend any time in chairs. In today’s Western society we have a culture that revolves around chair sitting. We are taught to sit to learn in school. We sit to work. We sit to eat, to drive, to relax -- in fact, you’re probably sitting right now to read this.
The truth is that your bones have grown while you were sitting. Your joints were molded by the way you sat, and now the majority of alignment issues, chronic pain, injury, and dis-ease can be related back to sitting. This is the cornerstone upon which the Kaiut Yoga Method stands.
The Kaiut yoga method is a floor-based practice that utilizes gravity to unwind chronic restrictions in the joints. This practice is most easily comparable to Yin yoga in the sense that it involves long-held shapes and works with the joints. However, there are vast differences between these two styles of yoga.
In Kaiut Yoga, we hold poses and utilize finely-directed micro-engagements to release adhesions in the connective tissue, which both strengthens and opens the joints.
The results of Kaiut yoga are undeniable:
Chronic pain relief
Alleviation of inflammatory disease symptoms
Joint mobilization
Better sleep
Improved circulation
That’s just to name a few.
Kaiut yoga is designed for biomechanical optimization. It is a practice for all bodies, no exceptions. Tight athletes, hyper-flexible dancers, octogenarians with joint replacements, persons with chronic illness, traumatic injury survivors, and truly anyone with aches and stiffness from daily life will find juicy nourishment in this classroom.
This burgeoning modality is ready to take the world by storm. Try a Kaiut yoga class today and experience the next evolution of yoga!

Testimonials
“My body does not work well without this method. The doctors that I see cannot believe I have not had an epidural since beginning your classes, I went faithfully every 3-4 months for 2 1/2 years, and they have always told me, ‘Sorry Betsy, it’s just going to get worse.’ Not true-I’m in such a different place than I was.”
“I want to let you know what a huge difference Sunday morning’s class has made on my feet and ankles. I’ve had pain for 5 years. Since class, I’ve had absolutely no pain. It’s been amazing!”
“Tucker, I’m so glad that I was moved or pushed to make it to your class last Thursday. I’m now experiencing much-reduced finger joint pain and almost no bilateral knee pain when going up or down steps. It was becoming moderate knee pain while using any steps until this work. Now I feel a spring in my step instead of tight & locked down in lower legs. ...Heck, I’m thinking of becoming a real student of this work! You’ll start seeing me in your classes for sure.”
“I couldn’t wait to tell you... When I do slow walks or stand, within 30 minutes my left leg gets numb, and I can’t feel the leg. When this happens, I have to stop and sit. Today, I walked around downtown for about 2 hours after class, and my leg was surprisingly very fine. First time in 10 years!
Thank you very much.”
“I’m stronger than I’ve been in years. I’ve never felt stable running. I think it was due to hyper-mobility. We went on a hike Sunday. Trying to catch up to our daughters, I was very stable, strong, and felt powerful! Scott said it reminded him of how I would leave him behind on the trails in ‘98 when we met. It happened at the beach too! I actually had to run and felt very confident. I know this is because of our work. Thank you, Obi Wan!!!”
“I really enjoyed the class. When I was looking for classes, I read where people were saying that Kaiut yoga helps them with anxiety, depression and their mental health. I didn’t get it. It just helps my back and my body. After I attended your class, I have never felt so calm and balanced. It was truly amazing. I wanted to let you know how profoundly I was impacted by your class. Thank you! ”
