Become a Certified Yoga Teacher While Deepening Your Spiritual Journey

Are you ready to earn your 200-hour yoga teacher certification through a trauma-informed, Christ-centered program?

Do you feel called to begin an embodied spiritual formation journey that nurtures your mind, body, and soul?

Our Yoga Alliance-accredited training equips you with the skills, confidence, and spiritual grounding to teach yoga in any setting—whether in studios, churches, or wellness spaces.

If you feel called to lead others through healing, movement, and faith, this training is for you.

Why Trainees Begin the Journey

Many people come to yoga during life’s most challenging seasons—after a diagnosis, a breakup, an injury, or ongoing stress affecting mental health. Through a consistent yoga practice, students often discover:

- Relief from stress and anxiety

- Healing after trauma or physical injury

- A renewed connection to their body

- The joy of movement and worship

- A deeper sense of peace and clarity

But what keeps them coming back is something deeper… That moment at the end of class—when everything quiets, and you can simply be still and know (Psalm 46:10).

More Than Yoga: A Path to Transformation

"How can you draw close to God when you are far from your own self?" — St. Augustine

Research supports the benefits of breathwork, meditation, and movement. But our program goes deeper. We take a "let it begin with me" approach to yoga as a spiritual discipline to deepen your walk with Christ. Each time you step onto your mat, you're invited to:

- Grow in self-awareness

- Experience a deeper connection with God

- Explore life's most important questions: Why am I here? Who am I becoming?

- Release the past, become present, and step into a new story

- Live with discernment and purpose

- Become stronger and more flexible on and off the mat

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 my 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!
