A deep release — and a qualification to guide others through theirs
They say we store our issues in our tissues. This training is your deep release — and your qualification to guide others through theirs.
Blending Traditional Chinese Medicine, evidence-based Mindfulness, Acupressure and multiple Yin Yoga methods, you will graduate with a toolkit that transforms both your personal practice and your teaching career.
Join us in person on the Sunshine Coast, or attend every session live via Zoom from Mackay, the Whitsundays, regional Queensland or anywhere in Australia. Same training. Same certification. Same community.
