Gary Kanaby draws on a rich foundation in Hatha, Ashtanga, Anusara, and Iyengar Yoga, weaving Pranayama, meditation, and asana into alignment-focused classes that invite students into the deeper meaning of yoga. He completed his 200-hour teacher training through the Living Yoga Program with Charles MacInerney and Ellen Smith, and his remaining 300 hours in Bali with House of Om under teachers from India and Nepal. In addition to intermediate classes, he leads weekly chair yoga and senior yoga sessions in Salado, Texas. An avid traveler who has visited more than 80 countries — including two circumnavigations by boat spanning fifteen years at sea — Gary brings a broad worldview and a spirit of lifelong learning to his teaching.

Teaching Yoga in a Small Community
A gathering and discussion for yoga teachers — and those considering teaching — who live or want to teach in small or rural communities. We’ll talk through the real challenges of building a practice outside a big city: navigating local attitudes toward yoga, finding a space to teach (studios, gyms, wineries, senior centers, churches), pricing for a local economy rather than national averages, and broadening your offerings to fit what a small community actually wants. Expect practical strategies on marketing and professional boundaries, plus an open exchange of stories and advice among teachers facing similar challenges.
