Overview of Surya Chandra Healing Yoga School

Surya Chandra Healing Yoga School's (SCHYS) Programs are based on and honor the teachings in the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar and Kausthub Desikachar.  Work with the chakra model is another foundation of SCHYS teachings:  since the mid-1990s, SCHYS Executive Director, JJ Gormley, has been teaching what she calls Chakra Alignment.  

JJ Gormley began offering teacher trainings in 1994 through Sun & Moon Yoga School in Arlington, VA, a school she founded in 1992 and managed until 2009.  In 2009, JJ opened SCHYS for the purpose of training yoga teachers and yoga therapists.  

Our training programs provide the opportunity to delve into the knowledge and experience of yoga taught through the wider perspective of teachings from multiple traditions. SCHYS educates students about traditional yogic teachings gathered from ancient texts by utilizing and demonstrating innovative teaching methods.
