Yin Yoga Teacher Training
A journey through self-discovery to becoming the best teacher you can be.
The core pillars of Grace’s teacher training are a rich personal practice, self-inquiry, and an embracing of constant growth and challenges. These are key elements on the journey to becoming a humble and highly effective teacher.
Do you want to be a great teacher?
The Art of Yin is for anybody who has ever felt frustrated with the excessive aesthetic focus that dominates the yoga world. It is for teachers who want to learn how to transmit yin with an excellent skill-set and deep self-awareness.
Excellent teaching is so much more than delivery of information. Great teachers trust that their presence and carefully chosen words are enough. Great teaching can be encouraged by engaging in inner work and self-development.
I teach to empower. My work is to help yoga practitioners and educators develop a more embodied connection to themselves, provide much-needed feedback, and to reinstate critical thinking, discernment and self-inquiry as the heart and core integrity of each teacher’s personal and professional development.
Those I teach, mentor, and guide, are willing to challenge themselves, understand that their own inner work is a pre-requisite for holding masterful space, and are already walking along their own individual path of self-discovery.
