Yin Yoga Teacher Training

“This was a fantastic training, I have completed Yin teacher training in the past, and I found this a wonderful refresher which taught me many new things, inspired me, and reinvigorated me in teaching Yin Yoga. Gabrielle is so knowledgeable and has a wonderful style of teaching - I felt welcomed into a family rather than as a student to class. I recommend this training to teachers and students alike.”

“It was a deeply rewarding experience, the depth with which we explored YIN was great, the connection to others and self was excellent, and the encouragement and empowerment we received from a practical teaching perspective was awesome too. Will definitely be incorporating some of the learnings taken from this course into my YIN teaching practice. Ngā mihi ki a koe Gabrielle.”
