Behind the Stillness — Preparing for Our Yin YTT
This week, our Yin Yoga Teacher Training finally began—and with it, a dream long in the making has come to life.
What you don’t always see are the months and months that lead up to a training like this. Over the past half-year, the three of us—Fran, Katie & Sarah—have been meeting regularly: poring over content, photographing postures, updating the manual, diving into discussions about skeletal variation, swapping podcasts, sending voice notes, and holding space for each other through the highs and lows of everyday life.
Most of this unfolded at Grass Tree, our familiar meeting ground, often accompanied by the joyful chaos of Joni & Charlie when babysitters were unavailable (which, let’s be honest, was often).
Between writing sessions and photo shoots, there were shared meals, deep laughs, and the occasional inside joke—like slipping mushrooms into the cacao (don’t worry, we didn’t!). And somehow, amidst all the Yin, there were also attempts at pincha practice, usually led by Fran while Sarah and Katie cheered (and trembled) from below.
We became each other’s fascia: connected, supportive, strong in our softness.
As the start date approached, the tempo quickened—prepping food, setting up spaces, cleaning homes, tying up loose ends, and soaking up moments with family before stepping fully into the yinside. The quiet work was being done, not just in manuals and meetings, but in hearts and minds.
Hundreds of voice memos. A swirl of ideas. Laughter, nerves, a few tears. And now here we are—in the middle of it all—grateful, grounded, and fully present in this shared journey.
Welcome to the Yin YTT. It’s more than a training. It’s a weaving of lives, learning, and love.
