300h Yoga Teacher Training
Advanced Functional Yoga Certification
Ahna and Michelle Finch have partnered up to bring you an inspiring and balanced advanced 'functional' yoga training. Our training integrates the two complimentary practices of Yin and Yang (in the form of Vinyasa), the fundamental primary forces of the Universe. Yang is characterized by strength, rhythm, and repetition, Yin by softness, stillness and ease.
​
​Our curriculum allows you to customize your training path, specializing in either Vinyasa or Yin. A benefit to the practice of yoga is to develop the intuition and the wisdom to know what we need and when we need it. Some people are more drawn to vinyasa, others to yin, but everybody needs a balance of both energies. The practice of yoga asana is simply a stepping stone toward greater harmony. As the mind calms and the body opens, a well of vibrant energy emerges, allowing us to explore our full potential as human beings.

-
Learn the empowering and liberating functional approach to yoga asana in great depth, and with clarity and skill.
