Kimiko and Amanda seamlessly complement eachother, providing a full teaching experience that is rich in theory, practice, and fun! Having this set in beautiful Point Reyes Station was only the cherry on top-- unbelievable! Kimiko and Amanda have such a deep respect for yoga it is impossible to walk away from this training without feeling that you are part of a great community and now have the desire to share what you learned. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.” ~ Tatiana 2024 Graduate
“I recently had the pleasure of attending and completing the Yin Yoga 5-day immersion at Point Reyes Yoga Studio. The content and presentation of the poses, theory, meridian work, and anatomy were deep and knowledgeable. Having a 2 hr class taught every day was sublime and gave shavasana a whole new meaning. Even though I’ve been teaching Yin for a few years, I have definitely deepened my personal practice and my teaching skills. And of course POINT REYES, so beautiful and unspoiled. One of my fave places on the planet. Thank you, Amanda and Kimiko, for all your heart and soul given in this training.” ~ Calie 2024 Graduate
