What are the students who have taken the Yinside Yoga training and intensive saying about it?  

"Yin is absolutely essential for our mind and body and most importantly it feels awesome!  Deb and Crystal are the perfect 'duo' to learn from.  They are extremely knowledgeable, accessible and a pleasure to spend 30 hours with.  I would love a level 2 class." ~Kara Ross

"You guys rocked the house yesterday.  You were professional, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming.  Crystal, how did you know that Twizzlers are like my favorite food group?  HA!  Way to go.  I am so In with the Yin.  I do Yin and meditate everyday now and I absolutely LOVE how I feel and love how I interact with the world around me!  I can't wait to share my craft with my students.   Can't wait to see you guys on the mat and in class!  For those of you thinking of taking this training, I can say that Crystal and Deb provided a safe, warm and thought provoking space for me to gain the confidence necessary to teach the yin practice to my students as well as grow my own personal yin practice.  You both exceeded my expectations!  I'm in with yin!"  ~Ellen Huyler

"If you are looking to deepen your practice or expand your teaching in Yin Yoga, then Deb and Crystal can provide an excellent learning opportunity exploring Yin philosophy, theory, poses, meditation and practice." ~Robert Hoon

"I am very thankful to have incorporated Yin into my life and to have scratched the surface of ‘What is Yin’? I know there is so much more to learn, to practice and to understand but I know how the practice makes me feel and I am confident in saying everyone could benefit from this form of yoga.  I took this training to learn more about the deeper meaning of Yin Yoga and to help bring more balance to myself and those in my life.   The postures and the practice made me feel restored and balanced.   Crystal and Deb led an informative, fun and practical yin yoga immersion.  I gained such an understating of why yin is such an important addition to the yoga world and my very yang life.  Thank you so much for the wonderful training."  ~Janine Kietrys

"If you’re looking to balance your workout, yoga practice, life, or simply learn more about Yin, this training is your path to getting there. Debra and Crystal come from backgrounds of athletics and yoga therapy, providing the perfect balance of introducing and teaching the foundations of yin to practitioners and future teachers; they both contribute their expertise flawlessly.   Although the training is just 30 hours, their execution of knowledge, (y)insight and guidance during that timeframe is brilliant.  This training goes beyond the physicality of yin postures, taking the students/practitioners deep within themselves. Not only did this training deepen my yin practice, it deepened my sense of mind/body awareness.  I would like to give a million thanks to you both for putting this training together.  Very impressive!  I absolutely loved it and recommended it to a couple friends for spring.  Thank you both again SO MUCH!"  Endless love, light and gratitude to you both." ~Nicole Stambo

"The training was well planned, educational and beyond my expectations.  Each class meeting included a yin class and understandable analogies about the importance of fascia and connective tissues.  Additionally,  there were fascinating lectures about Chinese medicine and the relevant meridians and chakras in our bodies. We meditated, and were taken to a new understanding of yin yoga.  Crystal and Deb truly held our attention.  Just like a yin class: getting into the pose, finding your edge and holding the pose and meditation; It was a life changing experience.  I won't ever look at my yoga practice in the same way.  As a yoga teacher, my teaching has been enhanced by their training. Thank you so much for your kindness, knowledge and compassion. I appreciate it so much and want you to know that. Namaste." ~Kate Corallo

"Crystal and Debra did a wonderful job in introducing their students into the subtle energetic world of yin yoga.  With so much emphasis on our modern world on yang forms of exercise that require you to "power or muscle through" physical fatigue, it was a boon to the soul to see this gentler and by no means less challenging practice brought into light.  By embracing yin yoga, one learns to see it is possible to release and let go even within yang styles of movement and to push to a greater internal edge within yin styles of movement.  Thank you for bringing this practice into the light Crystal and Deb!"  ~Caroline Mannaerts

"I would definitely recommend this training to a friend.  I would tell them how beneficial yin train is and how knowledgeable the teachers are. " 

"Excellent program!  It is clear how passionate you both are and how much work you put into making this an amazing training!"

"If you want to start teaching yin and integrating it into your own classes and practice- this is the training for you!"

"What surprised me most about the training is  "How quickly I felt the benefits of the yin yoga.  I thought it would take more time to feel something - I am amazed at how quickly and how deeply I am feeling inner peace and better physical health."  ~Sharyn Carroll Morton, Spring, 2015  

"This yin yoga training has deepened my practice and love for yoga.  Deb and Crystal really lead the training beautifully and made the learning fun.  I am definitely going to teach and without a doubt going to teach yin!  Namaste." ~Amanda Acevedo, Spring 2015  

"Yinside Yoga is about acceptance both on and off the mat.  It's about letting go of expectation, pride and worry and easing into each moment and each breath with an open mind and open heart.  Yinside Yoga was exactly what I needed so to say I am grateful would be an understatement."  ~Siobhan Wright, Spring 2015

"I have suffered from anxiety for the past five years and my therapist suggested that I try yoga. I began with the vinyasa classes and after some persuading tried a yin class. During my first class, I could barely hold the poses for a minute. The thought of staying still, not only in body but also in mind, for longer than 30 seconds made me panic. I kept at the yin practice and slowly started to get "better". I signed up for this training in hopes to deepen my practice. I never expected to get as much out of this as I did. Not only have my poses improved, but the space and clarity in my mind is unbelievable. I am now able to meditate for longer than I could even sit still. My new knowledge of the meridians also helps me to understand the feelings that are brought up during certain poses. This has not only improved my yin practice but my vinyasa practice as well. I would suggest this training for anyone and everyone. It has been an amazing experience."  Laura Peters, Spring 2015

"This yin yoga course is an invaluable compliment to my yoga practice.  Deb and Crystal are excellent teachers and their in depth knowledge and style of teaching made this experience a delight.  The strongest feeling I was left with is contentment.  This is for a number of reasons, but mainly because the class was taught in a way that made the material relatable and transferable to everyday living.  The second strongest feeling is gratitude that I took the class."  ~Celeste Milner, Spring 2015
