Registration is now open for our Summer/Fall 2026 Yoga Teacher Training Program, starting in January
Become a yoga teacher and transform your life in the process.
Our 250-hour program encourages a beautiful balance between the self-discovery of exploring your body and self through personal practice, and the outward expression of explaining yoga postures and philosophy to others.
The training invites participants to connect more deeply inward to the self through an educated exploration of their own personal practice, while at the same time radiating outward with more purpose through the multidimensional paths of yoga.
Yin Yoga Teacher Training w/ Kelly Gilmore
April 10th, 11th, 12th, & 25th. 30 Continuing Education Credits.
Yin Yoga has so much to offer in regards to healing and alignment on the physical, mental and energetic levels and has gained popularity in the past many years. While “Yang” Yoga styles (Ashtanga, Vinyasa and other “flow” styles) focus on muscles, “Yin” Yoga focuses on connective tissues, with deeper longer holds and more time spent in stillness.
This training will provide you with the knowledge and embodied experience to safely and skillfully guide your students or yourself through transformative Yin Yoga sequences and classes.

Blending evidence-based research with the timeless wisdom of yoga, this course gives you the tools to understand how the aging body functions, navigate the physical and mental shifts that come with time, and teach senior populations with clarity, safety, and compassion.
