JJ Gormley, Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500), is the founder of the Eureka Yoga School which offers four levels of Teacher Training Programs as well as weekly classes.  The Training Programs can be taken through an affiliated Yoga Studio or directly through JJ as a correspondence student.  Weekly classes are held at Heaven’s Peak Organics in Eureka, MT.  Please click on the links above for more information.

    JJ has a diverse background having studied from many traditions since 1979, most recently the teachings of TKV & Kausthub Desikachar who carry on the lineage of Krishnamacharya.  

This style of teaching is commonly called Vini Yoga although JJ feels it is simply REAL YOGA or TRUE YOGA as yoga is meant to be taught and enjoyed.  

    This style of yoga aims to train the mind to focus and employs the breath with simple and short sequences done a particular number of repetitions in order to keep the mind focused.  These movements (or asana practice) are followed by a breathing or pranayama  practice which is then followed by a meditation practice.  Each part helping to prepare for the next:  the asana practice done in sync with the breath helps prepare for the pranayama practice, and the mental work of keeping focused on the number of repetitions helps prepare for the meditation practice. She finds this style the most powerful in uniting body•mind•spirit.  

    JJ’s teacher, Kausthub Desikachar, focuses on the teachings from the ancient yoga texts: The Vedas/Upanishads and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and JJ is immensely enjoying the incorporation of these ancient teachings in her study of yoga and also passing along these great teachings to her students.
