GUIDE
KYLIE DENIS
YACEP, E-RYT500
Lead Trainer
Kylie is the owner and founder of Omology Yoga. Hailing from a background of high-impact sport + Vinyasa Yoga she nearly walked out of her first yin Yoga class thinking "nope, definitely not for me".
It was not until years later that she experienced + learned the energetic + emotional benefits of yin Yoga which, she credits as the entry-point to her meditation practice.
So, suffice it to say that Kylie is definitely empathetic to those who find the practice of yin a little slow, maybe even boring + although yin yoga will never be a heart-pumping or thrilling practice, she hopes to inspire students through her mindfully crafted sequences + soothing playlists to journey inward + develop a soulfully-empowered Yin practice +/or teaching career.

ANATOMY OF A YIN PRACTICE

YOGA NIDRA
Unique to our training program is an additional training in Yoga Nidra ("Yogic Sleep") meditation. Yoga Nidra is a conscious state between waking and sleeping that is induced via a guided meditation. It is practiced laying down + is known for relieving stress, improving sleep + reducing anxiety.
For obvious reasons, this relaxation is verrrrry complementary to the yin Yoga practice. Students graduating from our 50 Hours program will be able to script + conduct full Yoga Nidra meditations.
