HAVE YOU EVER FELT ANY OF THESE FEELINGS...
You've already invested in another yoga-teacher training program, but you walked away still lacking the confidence to teach well? While you know how to hold the poses, you may be feeling like you need more training to teach well-designed, meaningful, and inspirational yoga classes for your students.
I understand, because I felt this way once, too.
You've sensed the call to teach, but the voices of disqualification in your head are louder than the soft whisper encouraging you to walk these desires in confidence.
I understand, because I felt this way once, too.
You feel as though you are lacking a true support system, like you don't have an authentic community of like-minded leaders to connect with, share ideas with, be encouraged by, and learn from?
I understand, because I felt this way once, too.
Or, perhaps you are dealing with pain in your own life - the pain of a divorce, the pain of a mental health crisis, the pain of trauma, the pain of grief, or life disappointment. You may be feeling confusion around your faith, even a sense of abandonment by God, yet longing to feel that inherent connection once more.
I understand, because I felt this way once, too.
LET LIVING SOUL INSTITUTE BE YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR PATH BACK TO WHOLENESS IN CHRIST, YOUR ANSWER.
The Living Soul Institute is an accredited Registered Yoga School (RYS) with the Yoga Alliance (YA) that offers certification programs and continuing education. We use a customized, practical approach to mentoring teachers to become healthy and whole leaders in their communities, while cultivating sincere confidence to teach with excellence.
We help you answer your God-given call to cultivate safe spaces for people to connect mind, body, and soul. Our community is authentic and deep-rooted. And most importantly, our programs begin with you learning lifestyle practices that help you walk out more faith, hope, and love in the World.
Experience a personal, transformational journey of growth and a renewed understanding of what it means to practice yoga and to teach yoga.
We Believe
that personal and spiritual growth are ongoing processes facilitated by healthy spiritual rhythms. Yoga is never about how you look or your ability to hold a pose. Rather, it is about finding your wholeness and creating a deeper connection to self, God, and community.
We Believe
in the power of community, and it is our intention to bolster Jesus-centered yoga teachers to become leaders of authentic, healthy, safe, diverse, and loving communities throughout the world.
We Believe
that each and every time we come to the yoga mat, there is an opportunity to breathe in the “Breath of Life” and come alive through the practice of movement and meditation.
We Believe
in using the resources that God has given us to further the work of Jesus to bring love and unity to the world, which is why we do outreach for non-profits that help victims of human trafficking and support marginalized communities.
“The 200 and 300-hr. yoga teacher training with Living Soul Institute restored my soul. Every training I have taken...Every zoom I have participated in... Every email I have read...has changed me.
Kristin is more than just a woman lead by God, she has become the sister I never had. I’ve never had a lot of friends that were women nor experienced a healthy community like this before in my life. Living Soul has been challenging, but it has also been empowering. I am more than just a different yoga teacher. I am a different woman, friend, mother, and Christian because of this experience."
- Jenah, 200-hour & 300-hour student

"Kristin has put together a world-class program, but she’s not the only voice in it. For each and every module, she has brought in incredible individuals to not only teach us, but model for us a life of leadership and service.
My mind has expanded as we’ve learned about so many aspects of this yoga practice. My soul has deepened as I have leaned into rhythms of rest and reflection, listening for the Lord through His Word and His Spirit. My body has grown in strength. And oh, my heart! I will never be the same for the relationships built through spending time week-in and week-out with many wise and humble women."
- Wendy, 300-hour student

What Makes Living Soul Different from Other Yoga Teacher Trainings?
We are far more than just yoga teacher training. We are life-giving, life-affirming, life-awakening, path-finding, community-centered, authentic promoters of hope.
We believe that true connection happens best in intimate settings. That's why we keep all of our in-person training and classes small, so you can always be heard.
We are also highly experienced, and deeply invested in you. We are the only Christian-based yoga education training program with several active trainers who offer over 20+ years of yoga teacher training experience in both secular and faith-based trainings.
We are more than just Christ-Centered yoga.
"The Living Soul Yoga Teacher Training was better than I could have imagined. It was completely engaging. Kristin is a truly gifted teacher, and an encourager. The experience equipped me to begin teaching with confidence. As a student, I was introduced to much more than philosophy and practical knowledge as various experienced teachers taught about specialized areas. It was extremely helpful to have personal input from Kristin throughout the process. She has a hands and heart-on approach and really cares about everyone's success. This training will be with me for life as a great foundation for teaching and practicing."
- Vicky
“A year ago today I received my materials for my yoga training with Living Soul Institute and I can’t begin to explain how this has changed me. I went into it with just wanting to know more about yoga with no desire to teach, and now I’m teaching two days a week and looking into more. I love how yoga makes me feel, has me opening my Bible more and has definitely helped me with my fear of speaking in front of people. As a teacher and a yogi you are constantly learning and growing and I love seeing that in other people too. Kristin has created an amazing service in her teaching and it doesn’t stop once you are certified. I got to be on a zoom with 16 other teachers yesterday to learn and ask questions. If you have ever considered a yoga training, I highly recommend Living Soul Institute because it’s not only a certification, it’s a ministry and life long partnership in a community.”
