Issues in Our Tissues
A discussion on the source of emotions

Online 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training
The September, 2022 training is now open for registration. There will only be two trainings in 2022: this is the last one until 2023. If you have been considering joining us, here is your chance!
“This training was really amazing! I had to admit I was skeptical about a virtual course, but I was so wonderfully surprised by how human it felt!! Thanks to Bernie Clark, Diana Batts, Nathalie Keiller, and everyone that created such a comfortable and curious learning space. I’ve never felt more supported as a teacher.” – Autumn, Yoga Teacher
Meditation Revealed Online
We are happy to announce that Meditation Revealed is now available via the recordings of the live sessions. But, even though it was recorded, you can still receive personal interaction with us and have all your questions answered via emails and through the private Facebook group.
The course includes training in Deep Meditation to give you an experiential basis for the practice of meditation. This course is a balance of theory and praxis but the course will also delve deeply into the context of both yoga and meditation and shows how they have evolved over the millennia. Understanding the historical context of these practices will help you adopt and adapt meditation to what you need for our modern times.
