Maestro on the Mic

Cecily Milne is doing yoga a little bit differently. After years of practicing ashtanga yoga exclusively, her injuries couldn’t be ignored and the same old standards needed some questioning. Then came Yoga Detour: Cecily’s way to facilitate change in the way movement is understood. In her own words, Cecily is here to help others to be the best at what they do, and to be agents of change.

Yoga purists may not believe that what Cecily is teaching counts as “yoga,” but there’s something more important than serving the practice: serving your students. Every body is different, and your teaching should reflect that. Cecily will teach you how. If you’re a yoga teacher, or a movement coach of any kind, Cecily wants to help you learn not what to teach, but HOW to teach it.
