Self-Myofascial Release
Yoga Teacher Training

This is where your practice & teaching shift

permission to dive deep

You've stretched. You've strengthened. You've savasana'd your way through some stuff. But there's still that whisper in your hips. In your spine… in your soul:

“Something's missing."

Whether you're a yoga teacher looking to teach this work, or a curious movement nerd who wants to feel better in your own body, this immersive Self-Myofascial Release training is here to meet you exactly where you're at (tension and all).

It's a chance to zoom in on what's going on underneath the poses: the fascia, the nervous system, the sense of “stuckness”, and of course, all the tools to support real change.

18 hours of embodied learning, practice, and community that gets it. One weekend to shift the way you move, feel, and support yourself and others.

Let’s roll (literally).

“One of the most grounded and inclusive trainings I’ve taken.” - SMR YTT Grad, 2025

"Elena makes biomechanics clear, applicable, and actually fun. This training gave me tools I use every day in my body and in my teaching." - SMR YTT Grad, 2025

i want to feel that

You already know this isn't just about the balls

it's about evolving your teaching, not replacing it

WE'RE CREATING AN EXPERIENCE WHERE *YOU* GET TO FEEL WHAT IT MEANS TO SLOW DOWN.

Make space to teach (and feel) differently

And tune in, and what that means for how you teach.

You don't need to change who you are or cram more into your sequencing .It’s about supporting the already powerful things you’re doing in a way that reflects your depth, skillset, and evolving leadership. And it's an opportunity to offer your students a new way to feel their bodies: one that’s sustainable, intelligent, and empowering.

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT LEARNING A BUNCH OF SMR TECHNIQUES...

In this training, you'll learn:

  • The fascia science you actually need. Understand how it moves, why it matters, and how to teach with it clearly and confidently.
  • A full toolkit of SMR techniques to support recovery, downregulation, and nervous system-informed cueing, plus exactly when and how to use them in real classes with real bodies.
  • Sequencing SMR into real classes for real humans (because humans don't show up as a blank slate)
  • How to teach myofascial release as an embodied practice, not a performance (aka the art of paying attention)

🌀 18 hours of in-person training
🌀 A full library of SMR techniques
🌀 Fascia science made simple + embodied (promise!)

what's included

Sick of teaching the same class 72 ways? Want to offer more than “open your hips and breathe”? You'll walk away from this training with tools you can use, a clearer sense of cueing with purpose, and a fresh take on the body that'll make your classes feel more alive.

And if you're not a teacher? You're welcome here! If you’ve been chasing relief or a deeper connection to your body, I got you. This is your weekend to unravel some tension, ask questions, and get curious (with props!).

Who this is for

It’s about giving you adaptable tools to teach in a way that feels, like, well, you.

It's about understanding the language of fascia, sensation, and slow, thoughtful inquiry.

Yes, you'll learn. But you’ll also feel. Once this clicks in your own body, there’s no going back to business as usual in your teaching (and that's a good thing :))
