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”.

When & Where is the Course?

Module 1 & 2 in England and Online virtual live on stubioBe

Online, virtual live and face to face….In light of the developing Covid-19 situation and the hopefully imminent lifting of lockdown restrictions.

I am very much in favour of face to face training in order touch see and feel and had therefore delayed the training now for almost a year. I have been teaching my weekly classes and workshops online since last March and have come to the conclusion that, although not quite the same – I would present this course as a combination of both, so that those students that are not able to partake in person with the face to face classes can do so online, virtual live through studio BE.

Certification: 60 hours RYT per Module with Yoga Orchid Yinstitute’s (Yoga Alliance professions certified), further teacher training program. This training is delivered using a modular approach – split between 6 weekend units, once a month, spread over 6 months, so that it can fit around your busy life, family or work schedule. More importantly, it gives you a month – in between – to digest all the information.
Dates: This course is spread over 6 weekends on a Saturday and a Sunday from 10.00 AM – 5.30 PM GMT. Due to current circumstances future trainings will be in 2023. Let us know if you would like to get your name on the waiting list.
