What's Your Yoga Story?
Maybe you found yourself on the mat after a diagnosis, a break-up, or a stressful season impacting your mental health? It's likely that the yoga practice helped you reconnect to your body after a traumatic experience or helped you rebuild strength after an injury. Perhaps, you've hit a wall in your spiritual-life, and want to be apart of authentic community pursuing tools for deeper intimacy and integration. One common denominator often found in our yoga stories is the shared experience of how we feel at the end of a class. You know, the moment where you can BE STILL AND KNOW...
There's plenty of science backing the positive effects of breath work, movement, and meditation. But even more importantly, yoga can be a powerful invitation to surrender the "old story" regularly and to rise up a new creation. With deeper awareness of ourselves and God's Presence, we are transformed each and every time we take up our mat and walk! Living Soul's Foundations Program begins with a yoga story and a call for deeper exploration. Our teacher training curriculum is not only designed to equip you to teach yoga with excellence, but to help you press into life's most beautiful questions: Why am I here? Who am I becoming?
At Living Soul Institute, we take a "let it begin with me" approach to leadership. We believe the calling you’re sensing is too important to be ignored, and we want to equip you to pursue it.
Meet Our Founder
Kristin Gibowicz, LSI Founder + Lead Yoga Trainer + Spiritual Director
Like many of you, I found yoga in a stormy season of my life. My yoga journey has helped bridge the gap between what I believe (about God, about myself, about relationship with others) and what I experience.
Certified in 2003, I've taught thousands of classes, gained mastery in many yoga class styles, served diverse populations, and led yoga and spiritual formation retreats internationally. I've trained more than 1,000 teachers in over 17 years for CorePower Yoga, Holy Yoga, and Yoga Download. Since 2020, I've followed the call on my own heart to lead Living Soul Yoga Leadership Institute. Living Soul's 200-hr. Christian yoga teacher training prepares teachers to teach with proficiency AND with a holy confidence. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that everyone is coming from somewhere and we can create safe spaces that make yoga accessible to ALL. Yoga is more than just the postures, it's a lifestyle. Yoga means "to yoke." Embodying a lifestyle yoked to whole-health in Christ will help you connect the threads of your yoga story to the greater story of God's plan. When we're connected to our call and purpose, we allow God to bring heaven to earth (bodies) through our teaching - whether it be in secular or faith-based settings. We are more than just a certification program - we are a program that will change the trajectory of your life and give you a community of down-to-earth, like-hearted friends to journey with you!

Our Culture
We believe that yoga is for EVERY BODY.
We create an environment of belonging - connecting with each trainee in a personal way.
We are down-to-earth, compassionate, and fun.
We have a trauma-informed approach to help our students feel safe, connected, and empowered through agency.
We care deeply about justice, mercy, and living beyond ourselves.
We envision a world where people experience the transformational power, presence, and love of God with their whole selves - body, mind, and soul, and to live that LOVE off the mat and into their lives.
We are a diverse group of Jesus followers seeking unity, not uniformity as we recognize that there are over 45,000 denominations of Christianity. We provide a safe place, wherever you are on the way, to lean into the questions with awe and wonder.
The Experience
We know that life is full! We offer our trainees two options to complete their yoga teacher certification: ONLINE or HYBRID TRAINING (online + in-person immersion in Parker, CO).
Part 1: The Embodied Life. When you register for training, we will send you our main textbook, Embodied Posture by Stacy Dockins. In addition, Part 1 of the online course and our 100-page digital manual, will be available on August 1st for those who want to gain a strong foundation of anatomy prior the start of Live Zoom training in September. This self-paced curriculum includes reading assignments, posture breakdown videos, teaching on yoga as a wholistic lifestyle, and video practices to give you a head start and lighten the load this fall.
Part 2: The Equipping. For more details, download information packet above. Live Zoom Training, September 29th - Dec. 18, 2025 (no live call Thanksgiving week), includes two Zooms per week: Mondays 5:30pm - 7:30pm MST (4:30pm PT, 6:30 CT, 7:30 ET) and Thursdays 11:00am - 12:00pm MST (10am PST, 1pm CST, 2pm EST). Optional office hours will be available throughout the training for additional mentorship time. Each week, trainees will have additional assignments in the online course including yoga practices, meditations, and articles that help you integrate the life curriculum.
Part 3: The Immersion. As an option, trainees can choose our hybrid training that includes both the online curriculum AND an in-person training November 13-16, 2025 in Parker, CO. There's nothing better than being getting to spend 3 days enjoying Christ-centered yoga practices, soul care exercises, teacher training workshops, and the power of face-to-face community. Download the information packet above for details. We have secured discounted hotel rooms at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Parker, CO. This location is within walking distance to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, & several healthy restaurants. CLICK HERE for a direct link to discounted room reservations. We will provide an online community for you to connect with other trainees regarding room share and ride share from Denver airport!
Part 4: The Practicum. Trainees will choose a memorization sequence (restore, gentle, vinyasa) that they will learn throughout the training. Each trainee is expected to practice teach four classes (to friends, colleagues, or family) in preparation for the final teacher showcase.
