For you if you’re a yoga teacher or owner who wants a live, comprehensive program for all things functional yoga

Mastering Functional Yoga is designed for teachers who want to upgrade their cueing, sequencing, and understanding of functional movement & anatomy to teach real-life movement that supports long-term strength, mobility, and pain-free living. If you want to move beyond teaching poses and start teaching people with clarity, purpose, and real science, this training is for you.

"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!"

Are you ready to make the IMPACT that we in the yoga industry have been promising?

It's time to go beyond the basics and become the kind of teacher your students can rely on for more than just another class. With our training, you’ll have the tools to create real change in your students’ lives and in the yoga industry itself.

Let's move beyond outdated practices and embrace the powerful, evidence-based approach that modern yoga deserves.

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.
