Joseph Coyle - Pratyahara Yoga Guide

Pratyahara Yoga Guide: Yoga isn’t a practice that we find. It’s a practice that finds us. Joseph traveled the world as a minister turned math teacher and in 2014 he met his friend Amnat in Bangkok, Thailand. He witnessed Amnat effortlessly lifting himself into a handstand and thought “I have got to be able to do that.” He began attending the Ashtanga Yoga Center of Bangkok having no idea what he was getting involved in. 12 years later he still hasn’t mastered that handstand, but the practice of yoga has changed his entire life. At the end of the Pandemic, having returned to the United States to be with his family, he was struggling with purpose and direction. He decided to pursue Yoga Teacher Training and found himself at Integrative Yoga Therapy in Easley, South Carolina. The program transformed his life and gave him a deep understanding of the transformative power of yoga. Now, living in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, he focuses on teaching the practice of Pratyahara, the bridge between meditation and movement and what he believes to be one of the most powerful transformative tools that can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Yoga transformed his life and now he has dedicated himself to helping transform the lives of others.
