Whether you have been teaching for a decade or looking to get started, I will help you teach with intention, creating classes that not only strengthen and stabilize people's bodies but also improves their life off the mat. It's time to step into your full potential as a yoga professional—because you deserve to become the teacher you’ve always wanted to be.

At Heart & Grit School of Yoga, we're redefining yoga teacher training.

We blend tradition with modern science to create a cutting-edge, science-backed learning platform that equips you with the tools to excel at your craft. Whether you’re just starting your journey or you've been teaching for years, our training is designed to fill the gaps in knowledge, debunk outdated myths, and eliminate harmful practices in the yoga world.

We all want to help people feel better, move better, and get stronger. But to do that, we need to be confident in our ability to teach more than just movement—we need to teach functional, healthy movement that translates into everyday life.

"I’ve been watching 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!"

What You WILL & WON'T Find Here

Smart sequencing formats backed by science - you get the templates to write your own

❌ Rigid, repetitive sequences with one-size-fits-all poses that you have to memorize

Education about functional movement that you and the people you teach can use on & off the mat

❌ Fancy poses, hyper-flexibility, acrobatics - no pretzel poses or contortion contests

True education and learning that is broken down, simplified and easy to implement

❌ A script that you have to memorize and regurgitate

A new approach to yoga that educates you - learn about the human body & how it moves.

❌ Spiritual smoke & mirrors, you don’t need a new religion—just better movement and a deeper understanding.

A professional approach that takes this job seriously, because yes, teaching is a job and there is more to leading yoga than just standing in front of the room and talking.

❌ Preachy vibes, performative wisdom, a flaky approach  - we expect you to show up as a professional ready to work.
