Testimonials

Yael is a compassionate person, teacher, and healer who creates a sacred space of deep trust and belonging. In the energy and coaching work I’ve done with her, she has treated me with encouragement, offered gentle guidance, and made me feel respected, and cared for. Working with her has opened my heart and eyes and has taught me so much about myself and how to make sense of the world. I am so grateful the universe brought her into my life.” – Vicky S.

“I was visiting Washington, D.C. and had a profoundly transformative Reiki session with Yael Flusberg that made me wish I lived close enough to continue working with her!  After my Reiki session with Yael, even though my mind continued to be wo,rried about the everyday stresses of life, my body was simply not reacting to those negative signals, but instead was serene & joyfully at peace.  I will forever remember Yael as the one who first opened the door to my body’s potential for healing.”  – M.M.

Yael’s teaching style is refreshingly honest, humorous, and fun. Lessons were structured in a way that made them easy to digest; the information on anatomy and yin yoga in particular filled in a gap in my teaching knowledge. Yael’s creative approach to sequencing also invigorated and inspired my teaching at a time when I needed to spice things up and keep my students interested in the ever-unfolding marvel that is yin yoga.” – Fiona Griffin

Yael’s training was such a wonderful and fruitful experience for me. Yael created a safe space for
learning, exploration, and growth for all teacher trainees. I expected to learn about the yin methodology, but left with such a grander scope of knowledge. We tackled anatomy, the energetic body, the Chinese Meridians, sequencing, and the elements and were coached on how to teach these topics in a trauma-sensitive way.

To see how Yael can overlap and pull from all of these different systems to create a thoughtful yoga class was quite astonishing, but she also made it approachable through curriculum and group exercises for us to do the same. I' ve been able to put this training to use, teaching weekly Yin classes in a few different settings since graduation. Yael made herself accessible all throughout training and has been a resource for us all post-graduation, too. I highly recommend this training to anybody with a deep love of yoga and learning. Yael is an incredible wealth of knowledge,
