  The Experience

  Students will train to learn about the functional approach to yin yoga and connect with a heart-felt community that will foster a sense of belonging to dig deep and transform from the inside out. Many graduates have reported that this training has changed their lives for the better, due to the unique design of this program where we learn yin yoga and how to weave the philosophies into our daily lives – the path of being a yogi – through embodied exercises and self reflections. Trainees receive much more than a yin yoga teacher training, but an unforgettable weekend, surrounded by familiar souls, full of expansive opportunities to reframe your past for an empowered and embodied present and future self.

GRADUATE TESTIMONIALS

“From my very first correspondence via text with Carleena, after registering for Yin Yoga 1 training, I knew we were supposed to be in community together and I instantly felt connected. On day 1, I walked into the studio, without knowing a soul, and felt as if I’d walked into my own home when her smile and soul welcomed mine. She hugged me tight and I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Stress melted and I felt safe and loved. Carleena is attentive to everyone in the room and incredibly intuitive to the needs of her students. She listened attentively and her enthusiasm, love and knowledge of yoga was inspiring. My time with her was life changing and I’m forever grateful for the loving space that she held for me in community, for her time and energy, her authenticity, and all of the knowledge that she shared. Her training was more than I could have hoped for. Thank you my beautiful teacher and my forever friend. ❤️”

"Carleena is a STRONG spiritual mentor. This work is something she truly embodies and confidently shares with the world. I took her 25-hour Yin YTT Level 1 and was just magnetized by her energy and passion during each session. Her vast wealth of knowledge, coupled with her love of the practice and genuine charismatic nature, made this training so very special and unlike anything I've previously participated in. I have already recommended her meditations and teacher trainings to others and will continue to do so as long as Carleena continues to share her gifts with the world.” - Adele S.

“This training far exceeded my expectations. Carleena is a truly unique teacher and a gift to the yoga community! Her teaching is deeply rooted in embodied knowledge. She teaches from a place of having experienced the curriculum for herself before offering it to her students. She is also incredibly self-aware and created a truly safe container for us all to feel seen, respected, and valued in community. Carleena has the beautiful gift of weaving information together across various schools of thought and merging them cohesively into one main idea. I was able to make so many profound connections through the gift of her offerings. I left this 3-day Yin YTT feeling inspired to teach yoga through a fresh lens, to dig deeper into my own practice, and feeling totally full! Carleena is so special. I am looking forward to the next training :)”

“Carleena’s insight into functional teaching is unparalleled. The training is for all walks of life, whether it’s to dive deeper into your own personal practice (whatever style you it be), teaching preparation, or to gain a new network of community, this training is for all!”
