Unlock the Secrets to Transformative Teaching with the Asana Accelerator Workshop Series!
Step behind the curtain and discover what’s really holding your students back in their practice!
​
Each of these 90-minute, game-changing workshops are designed for yoga teachers who want to demystify the most challenging poses your students struggle with day to day—not because they lack ability, but because they lack the guidance to truly understand their bodies in these poses.
Imagine being equipped with the words and wisdom to guide your students safely and confidently into postures they once thought impossible!
"I’ve been watching Gina's videos all summer and learned so much it has directly impacted how I facilitated teacher training this weekend. We’ve always had “posture breakdown” sections of training but this year my team felt more ready. Gina your videos are not only clear, concise and science based, they are a wonderful example of how to break down postures for those in training. THANK YOU! Your work is impacting the Minneapolis community!"
In each of the workshops, we will review a very specific joint action. You will dive into the core anatomy and biomechanics, uncovering the common dysfunctional movement patterns and hang-ups that are all too common. From there, we will explore how this information can be applied to multiple poses. You’ll learn powerful new cues that make these poses accessible and achievable for students of any level—immediately
By the end of each workshop, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on teaching asana and a toolkit that will light up your students’ practice. Get ready to accelerate your teaching, ignite your confidence, and witness instant results in your classes.

Hey, I’m Gina!
Founder of Heart & Grit Yoga, Not-Your-Average-Yoga-Teacher
​
I started teaching in 2001, kickboxing was my first class and it was then that I fell in love with "movement." While teaching was a hobby back then, I spent most of my time in research labs studying pathology and the cardiovascular, endocrinology and nervous systems. I transitioned into yoga full time when I opened my first yoga studio in 2015.
​
Since then, I've leveraged my education & experience in exercise science, academic research, and higher-ed teaching, along with my love for personal growth, to train over 100 yoga teachers with education based on solid science.
Early in my yoga career, I quickly noticed a gap in how yoga was taught, particularly in the areas of body safety and mechanics.
​
To address this, I rebranded my studio to focus on a functional, science-based approach to yoga. This shift not only elevated my teaching but also brought significant improvements to my student's health and well-being.
That’s what I want for you and your students.
I created all of my workshops & courses to give you high-quality resources emerging yoga teachers so desperately need so you can improve your teaching and your students’ yoga experience.
But before you can help others heal and grow stronger, you must know how the body works.
If you’re looking to fill your classes, elevate your students, and rekindle your passion for teaching, THIS is where it all starts.
