One of the biggest joys is the friendships made with others during this experience. And most cherished, is the relationship you build with yourself.

In my experience, Yoga Teacher Training changed the entire trajectory of my life! What I thought would be learning the anatomy of Triangle Pose, morphed into a beautiful and sacred journey getting to know myself from a renewed and radically honest perspective. I was able to unpack the layers of my beliefs and strengthen my relationship to self, to others, and to our vast and brilliant Universe!

Kim Unik- Specialty Trainer
For Kim, yoga was love at first Savasana over a decade ago. It was both the most awkward and incredibly peaceful experience within the span of an hour she had ever had. After dealing with chronic pain and mental health issues, she knew that it was the power of breath, movement, presence, and self-inquiry that would lead to her healing and liberation. Always a student, Kim has also completed courses in Core-Strength Vinyasa, Thai Yoga, Yin Yoga, and various meditation practices. Kim teaches from a place of intuition and authenticity and offers the opportunity to show up and meet yourself exactly where you are.
raina gradford- specialty Trainer
Raina sees yoga as an invitation to explore all of the aspects of our humanity, through awareness of breath and presence. She believes that our body is our vehicle on earth, and that once we realize our full embodiment, we will cultivate connection and gain full access to our human experience. Through becoming a yoga teacher, Raina sought to create healing spaces for people to reconnect with their authentic experience and find liberation in their lives. She also noticed a lack of diversity in the yoga teacher community and wished to become certified so that she could reach people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
