About Your Teacher
I’m Regina (Regi) a highly qualified and experienced, international, senior Yoga Teacher and founder of Yinstitute for further Yin Yoga teacher training. As a professional trainer and continuing education provider I have been accredited by the Yoga Alliance UK and USA.
I am a ‘disciple’ of Paul Grilley, the ‘godfather’ of Yin Yoga, having trained with him directly since 2006 and continued my studies directly under Paul & Suzee Grilley and Sarah & Ty Powers until I completed 500+hrs RYT with both. After more 16 years of teaching, with over 2000 RYT, and over 35 years of bodywork I decided that it is time to share my knowledge and passion of Yin Yoga with other like minded souls. You can read more about me here
I truly believe “A yoga teacher is a guru as well as a student for life.”
Immerse yourself into the practice of ‘authentic’ pure Yin Yoga – Meridian Theory, Kriya Yoga, Chakra Meditation and Theory, Yoga Nidra and Embodied Mindfulness. Join me for this advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Training.
“Thank you for all your inspiration, I found new inspiration through you and the course”.
