Cultivating Intimacy is a self-paced, fully online yoga and wellness training from My Vinyasa Practice designed to help yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and individuals deepen their understanding of connection, trust, and authentic relationship. Worth 10 CEUs through Yoga Alliance, this course blends yogic philosophy, trauma-informed care, and modern psychology to explore how intimacy is built through emotional safety, energetic presence, and embodied awareness. You’ll learn how the nervous system shapes our capacity for closeness, how breathwork and movement can foster inner safety, and how boundaries, consent, and self-inquiry support healthier relationships—both personal and professional. Whether you’re supporting others or on your own journey of emotional healing, Cultivating Intimacy offers a compassionate, evidence-informed framework to foster deeper connection with yourself and those around you.

Grounded in accessibility and inclusion, My Vinyasa Practice’s Adaptive Yoga Certification equips you to share the transformative benefits of yoga with every body and every ability. Led by Michelle Young, C-IAYT, this Yoga Alliance accredited, self-paced online training combines a trauma-informed yoga curriculum with expert guidance and a welcoming global community.
