I’m ready for this journey

Most yoga teacher trainings ask you to compromise.Too often, programs are either too rigid, too shallow, or too disconnected from the real-life practice of yoga.

You may have:
● Looked at local trainings that felt uninspiring or overly dogmatic
● Considered destination trainings that looked more like retreats than education
● Wished you had time to really absorb what you're learning instead of rushing through a schedule.

We hear you. We've felt that too. And we believe a great YTT should challenge you and support you—should expand your world and ground you in wisdom.

That’s why we designed a training that gives you space and structure.

You’ll begin with clear, digestible lessons you can revisit anytime, taught by one of yoga's most trusted educators. Then you’ll step into a vibrant, real-time learning experience alongside peers and teachers who care deeply about your growth.

This isn't just about becoming a yoga teacher. It's about who you become in the process.

Yes, I want to grow with this

Apply for the experience of a lifetime

A 7 day yoga and wellness retreat on the island of Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean, designed to help emerge into a new year revitalized, more balanced, fulfilled, and connected to your truth.

Wild Grace Wellness is about the calm in the un-calm, the ease in the effort, the truth in the unknown, the love in the doubt… the grace in the wild. Not one separate from the other, but the ability to access balance, the harmony of both and all. It’s about embracing all the parts of ourselves, accepting that things don’t have to be one way or make sense, and knowing that we can show up and start again daily. The wild, free, undefinable, and, the simple, easeful, grounded. So, let’s spend 7 days tapping into this balance, having the time of our lives, moving our bodies both in practice and in nature, experiencing deep rest, renewal, connection, aliveness and joy.

We’ll eat from the beautiful land and life of Dominica, discover the culture, immerse in nature, go on grand adventures, swim in the ocean, make new friends, meditate, and of course, practice a lot of yoga. The best handful of class experiences I’ve ever created. You’ll leave with simple and effective practices to enhance your mindset, strength, and energy, a deeper knowledge of yoga, and a totally fresh outlook on life as we welcome 2026.

Spots are limited, so dive in with me today.
