About This Unique Training



Join us for a transformative two-weekend yoga teacher training designed to deepen your understanding of myofascial release and enhance your teaching for diverse populations. This program combines the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, anatomy, physiology, body movement, kinesiology, and Pilates, with an emphasis on the subtle body’s in-depth connection to overall wellness. This training will be led by Amanda Lee Murphy, L.Ac and co led by Ava Moreno.


Weekend One: Foundations & Self-Practice

  • Learn the interplay of stress, strain, and range of motion through an anatomical and trauma-informed lens.

Weekend Two: Teaching & Application


  • Shift focus to teaching and assisting others, adapting techniques for all bodies and abilities.
  • Learn to integrate myofascial release into various yoga styles, tailoring practices for athletes, elderly populations, and those with special needs.
  • Build confidence in offering safe, supportive, and inclusive yoga experiences.

What To Expect

Both weekends will include lectures, but the emphasis will be on hands-on learning and embodied practice. Expect to move, roll, and feel your way through the material with a focus on experiential understanding. You’ll participate in guided yoga classes, self-massage techniques, and hands-on practice to truly feel and identify trigger points, integrating the information through direct experience. This is a highly interactive training where you’ll leave not just with knowledge but with a deep, felt understanding of the body and its healing potential.


This training is ideal for EveryBODY! Yogis, dancers, yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and all wellness practitioners looking to expand their skill sets and bring a deeper level of care to their students and clients. Whether your focus is self-practice or teaching others, you’ll leave equipped with practical tools to support movement, recovery, and overall well-being.
