Eureka Yoga school with JJ Gormley-Etchells

JJ Gormley-Etchells, Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500), is the founder of Eureka Yoga School in Montana and Sun & Moon Yoga Studios in Virginia. She began practicing yoga in 1979. In 1989, she began teaching yoga and in 1994 began teaching teachers. As Director of the Teacher Training Programs at Sun & Moon Yoga Studio in Virginia and Eureka Yoga School, she corresponds with and coordinates over 100 students in her three training programs.

JJ has a diverse background having studied from many traditions since 1979, most recently the teachings of Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar and his son, Kausthub Desikachar who carry on the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya. JJ has been studying with the Desikachar's since 2003 and is currently enrolled in a 4-year Yoga Therapy program.

JJ teaches yoga poses from the perspective of the energetic body and staying connected to the earth energetically (being well-grounded). She'll look at the structure of the body and what is happening with the bones at and around each of the main energy centers (Chakras). She Teaches how the bones move at each of these Chakras to create more space at the joints so one can move with better freedom and release stuck energy.

JJ has produced many yoga videos/DVDs, and a chanting CD which can be purchased on this website
. She also continually makes chakra jewelry (selling her pieces at her workshops when she travels) or will make a piece to order--just ask. She has compiled a Study Guide for Yoga Teacher Trainees for use with the training programs. You may obtain the Study Guide from the store on this site. She is in the process of writing a book, "Yoga Therapy Through the Chakras" with Megan Sullivan and illustrations by Terry Strayer. Stay tuned for details of the book release.
