Tias Little's background is steeped in both academic study and physical discipline. He began his yoga training in 1984 in the Iyengar system under the guidance of his mother, Susan Little.

Tias' first trip to India was in 1989. He lived in Mysore for 6 months, learning the first two series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with K. Pattabhi Jois.

After practicing Ashtanga Yoga for 10 years, Tias immersed himself in the study of the healing arts, including massage, cranial-sacral therapy and bodywork.

He teaches yoga with a sensitivity and subtlety informed by his anatomical knowledge and keen sense of touch. His teaching is grounded in the structure and precision of alignment from the Iyengar system, while sharing the spaciousness and compassionate wisdom that stems from the Buddhist tradition.

Tias earned an MA in Eastern Philosophy from St. John's College in 1998. His dharma training has been further informed by teachings from the Zen and Vipassana communities. Tias is currently a student of Tsoknyi Rinpoche's in the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Surya Little has been a devoted student and teacher of Yoga, macrobiotic healing and meditation for over 15 years. Her first Yoga training was in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. She lived in Nepal for two years and traveled twice to Mysore to study with K. Pattabhi Jois. More recently she has studied intensely in the Iyengar system, primarily training under the guidance of Aadil Palkhivala.

Surya teaches the nutrition segment of the teacher trainings, showing students the therapeutic value of food for the yoga practice. Surya's teaching style is dynamic, in-depth and devotional, guiding students to deeper levels of understanding.
