WHY LYT?
The heart of our training lies in inquiry and curiosity. We believe each topic should be explored, questioned, understood, and then applied.
It is for this reason each class is broken down, pose by pose, so the trainee can understand the WHY behind each move. The anatomy and philosophy lectures are designed to layer information across the weeks providing time for the concepts to become meaningful.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
The course begins on March 9, 2025 with a Welcome Call with Lara and the LYT Team at 1:00 pm ET.
You can access the materials to begin learning immediately upon enrollment.
Course Format
This course format is unlike any other available, because it is designed specifically for the LYT methodology. Over 10 weeks, we will cover an immense amount of material. That's why we have a 2-week break in the middle of the course—to allow you to deepen your practice or to catch up on any material. You will have 3 weeks after completing the course to go over any remaining material for certification. You will have continued access to all the course materials upon completion so you can revisit the training anytime.
