Philip Clift

Founder & Lead Teacher • LMT, E-500 RYT, YACEP

Philip has taught yoga for over 30 years, with a daily hands-on practice that has made advanced assists and adjustments — rare in Knoxville — a signature of the studio. As a licensed massage therapist and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level, he brings an anatomical precision to the mat that most classes simply don't offer.

He leads the Sadhana Yoga Facilitator Training at Renegade Yoga Institute, covering yoga's subtle internal dynamics — the Koshas and Vayus — alongside hands-on adjusting and Vinyasa Krama sequencing. Learn about teacher training →
