Canadian Yoga Alliance Certified Continued Education Series
Yin Teacher Training (25hr)
Continued Education Series:
Friday June 5th to Sunday June 7th, 2026
This 25-hour Yin Yoga teacher training offers an in-depth exploration of the distinctive Yin approach while equipping you with the skills to guide others safely and responsibly. Whether you are new to Yin yoga or building on existing knowledge this certification offers an inspiring journey into this quietly passive yet deeply transformative practice. Discover the history, principles, postures, sequencing, meridian theory, benefits and many more aspects of Yin yoga while uncovering its unique impact on the body. As you experience longer held poses designed to target the deepest tissues of the body: our ligaments, joints, and deep fascia networks, explore mindfulness techniques that cultivate awareness, focus, and presence. Suitable for teachers, practitioners, and students alike, this training can be approached as a therapeutic practice or a path for personal growth. You don’t need to aspire to teach—only the openness to fully immerse yourself in the depth and subtlety of Yin Yoga.

If you’re waiting for the ‘perfect’ time, let us save you some trouble — it doesn’t exist!
The only thing waiting does is keep you exactly where you are.
If you’re here, you’re ready.
If you know you aren’t where you want to be, you’re ready.
If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, you’re ready.
If you don’t make a move now, you’ll be in the exact same place this time next year.
You don’t need to be ‘ready’. You just need to take that first step.
Yoga really IS for everyone
Marisol took her very first class at Luna yoga in 2003 and quickly discovered that this life-changing practice helped her physical and mental health like nothing she had ever done before.
A fierce advocate that ‘yoga really IS for everyone’, she tailors her classes to meet students where they are and to assist them in progressing further. Marisol aspires to instill in her students a profound and lasting regard for yoga's power, and is dedicated to sharing her practice with all the people that, for countless different reasons, truly can benefit from yoga in their lives.
