TRAINING 

This training is designed as an immersive, intensive program for those individuals seeking professional training to develop a deep spiritual discipline and earn their teaching certification in Hatha & Yin yoga.

The spiritual journey is a path that leads to liberation, healing, and transformation of self and society.

This training centers jivamukti (freedom while alive) as a central tenet of our work and seeks to develop spiritual leaders who, as yogis and controllers of the elements, embody the Practice in order to transition the collective conscious and show others, concretely, how it's possible.

KELLI WEFENSTETTE

Kelli Wefenstette (she/her) came to yoga seeking movement post-college after a childhood of dance and acrobats. In addition, she quickly found relief from a lifetime of anxiety, substantial grief, and the pain of chronic illness. Yoga brought her safely home to her body as her magic and her medicine for living abundantly and unapologetically. Yoga is her freedom journey towards a life of awakening, authenticity, and adventure.
 

Her teaching style focuses on curious movement, alignment, somatics, and exploration of body mechanics combined with mindfulness and emotional regulation for an empowered, embodied experience on and off the mat.
 

Kelli earned her BA in Psychology and Religious Studies from Monmouth College and a MA in Social Justice and Community Development from Loyola University Chicago. She has completed nearly 1,000 hours of teacher training in Hatha Yoga and Elemental Yoga as well as prenatal yoga, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese medicine, Thai Yoga Massage, psych-sensitive yoga instruction, and nervous system healing. She studied under Rhonda Kantor, Rita Knorr, and Dorie Silverman at Global Yoga & Wellness and Will Brashears at Lotus Yoga Temple.
 

Kelli is also a Community Organizer trained in Asset-Based Community Development. Formerly a non-profit director, she owns Wildlight Yoga in Chicago.
