How to thrive in the field of Yoga:

Lead teacher Raechel Morrow will draw on her 20 years of offering Yoga to the world, including 10- years of owning Body Mind Being and six years of Soul-Centered Women. How Raechel courageously took an 18-month sabbatical, she knew she needed to heal from limiting beliefs, find her path, and live the impact she wanted to offer the world without any promise her business would recover. Without fear, she turned it around to 100K a year, doubling what she had before she took the time off to heal. Raechel will share critical insights on building a yoga business with your Dharma in mind, an entrepreneurial mindset, marketing and business management, and a few costly mistakes to avoid.

The Esoteric Body and chakras

Energy medicine. Every experience we have in life is processed through our physical bodies. Experiences with trauma creates patterns of disconnection from the wisdom in our bodies. In this course, we will practice witnessing how our own experiences are manifesting in our bodies and our lives. Witnessing our own journey is ultimately what prepares us to witness and guide the journey of another.

Rated 5 out of 5

"BMBI really gets the true essence of yoga. I have been personally transformed through the journey with them. We learn how to give and receive feedback from peers and this is very edgy yet very useful. This training is very trauma informed. The best trauma informed yoga teacher training!!! I am going to continue training and my journey with them into my 300 hour training.” "

"BMBI was recommended to me by a colleague who witnessed Raechel's work on a retreat. I have been seeking training committed to the spiritual path of yoga with the education and life experience to guide me to my greatest potential. I work as an MSW and feel I have hit a plateau in my journey and professional work. This training was what was missing for me. I live in OH, almost five hours from Michigan. I decided to give it a go,and I am so glad I did!"

"This teacher training is like no other. It offers an approach to yoga classes that cater to an under-served population in our community and those that have or are experiencing trauma. Including education on DEI in our teaching. Raechel and Betsy bring an abundance of experience, wisdom, and an authenticity to this program that is far beyond my expectations.”-."

This was more than just a program or training. It was the best coaching/therapy/life transformation you will get. You are supported by the wise, knowledgeable, authentic, mentors and instructors. This allows for phenomenal connections and discernment between the individual, others, and the Divine Plan throughout the training. You will meet your potential, but the alignment instilled along the way will bring one closer to a true essence in life. It is not easy, change never is but if you can be honest with yourself and vulnerable you will be forever changed.

I was hoping to add tools to my teaching toolbox and become trauma-informed. I did not expect the positive transformation it would bring to my whole life. I have been a dedicated yoga practitioner for 22 years. This training made space for me to go all the way to the center of myself in a way that I had never experienced before.”
