An open invitation to all yoga teachers to join me on July 15th and 16th for 2 days of yoga teacher training in Yin Yoga at Yoga East Healing Arts Studio. Yin Yoga provides a rich opportunity for personal and professional growth. It is deeply nourishing on many levels and provides a much needed counterpart to the yang styles of yoga.
