Corina Benner, Director of Wake Up Yoga, took her first yoga class in 1992, and has been teaching yoga since 1999. Viewing asana practice as an entry-point to self-study, Corina weaves the ancient tenets of yoga philosophy into her teaching, inspiring students to discover how this ancient practice remains relevant today in their own lives both on and off the mat. Her positive vibrations and contagious optimism empower students of all levels to practice with enthusiasm, while her detailed instruction and intelligent sequencing create a safe space for students to explore the landscapes of their body, mind, heart and soul. Corina was certified to teach by the highly esteemed Cyndi Lee at OM Yoga Center in NYC where she subsequently taught for two years, before relocating to Philadelphia. As a devoted student of Yin Yoga Master Paul Grilley, Corina has spent over 150 hours with him, integrating his wisdom and knowledge into her own practice and teaching. She opened Wake Up Yoga in 2002, inspired to create a warm and nurturing community-centered yoga studio where people of all ages, stages, colors and flavors could come together with breath and movement, in silence and in laughter, to deeply connect with the underlying current that unites us all.

YINtensify Your Yoga Practice!
Yin Yoga already challenges you to plunge deeper into your hips and spine than previously imagined. Dive even deeper into understanding the Yin Yoga system in this 36-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training.
Using Yoga’s Kosha Model we will deeply explore how the practice of Yin Yoga benefits each level of being. By studying and understanding how the body is affected physically, energetically, mentally, intuitively and spiritually you will be empowered to teach safe, effective and powerful yin yoga classes.
You will learn which tissues are being targeted, how the yin postures work, and how to modify the postures to accommodate a wide variety of students’ bodies. We will investigate more than 20 Yin Yoga poses, learning individual-specific alignment as well as which energy channels are being stimulated, which chakras correspond to those channels, and the potential emotional release that may result. You will viscerally integrate the information so that, upon completion, you are able to not only teach Yin Yoga classes, but also you are able to field students’ questions with confidence and true clarity.
Included in the topics to be addressed are:
- The distinctions between Yin and Yang
- The vital difference between Tension and Compression
- Yin Yoga’s ‘Alignment’ Considerations: proportion, appropriately stressing tissue, and when to back off
- Energy Flow, Meridians/Nadis and how to Cultivate Balance
- Chakras Relative to Meridian Systems
- Considerations for sequencing Yin Yoga Classes
- Class Theme Building for Yin Yoga Classes
