Yin Yoga Teacher Training & Certification

For yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and wellness professionals ready to teach with more depth, more integrity, and a real understanding of how Yin Yoga works. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridian theory, and functional anatomy, the Foundation Training goes well beyond postures and sequencing.

It is a complete Yin Yoga education and the first step in the 100-Hour Grounded Movement Practitioner Pathway.

Private Healing Sessions

Personalized one-on-one sessions designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional well-being, and personal growth.

Rather than focusing on a single modality, each session is guided by a personalized treatment plan created around your unique needs and goals. Through a combination of awareness-based and body-based approaches, we work with both the mind and body to help you build resilience, feel more grounded, and navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

Whether you're experiencing stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or simply seeking deeper connection with yourself, this work is designed to meet you where you are.

Available in-person and online.

Reiki I & II Training

Reiki is one of the most quietly powerful healing tools there is, and once you carry it, you carry it for life. This in-person training covers both Level I and Level II in one immersive experience: your attunements, the foundational principles, hand positions, the Reiki symbols, and the confidence to begin offering sessions to yourself and others. No prior experience in energy work is required. What matters is a genuine pull toward it.

About Reiki Training

Real Clients. Real transformation.

  • "Imad Khaddaj is an outstanding yin yoga and breathwork instructor, who brings depth, generosity, care and attention to his teachings."

    “I would wholeheartedly recommend Imad to any student wishing to explore yin yoga, breathwork, or other healing modalities, to benefit from his expertise and insights, including in polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation.”

    -Émilie HD

  • "He is extremely knowledgeable and he has a true passion for Chinese medicine and reiki."

    Highly recommend Imad. I went into this place for reiki with Imad due to an infertility journey and his approach was professional, humbling and healing. He is extremely knowledgeable and he has a true passion for Chinese medicine and reiki. I had two sessions with him, and I'm now expecting after a 15 month long infertility journey. If you are in a position where enduring a lot of stress and feel overwhelmed I highly suggest booking. There are plenty of benefits to reiki :)

    -Laura Njo

  • "I've been doing spiritual coaching with Imad and it's helped so much on my journey."

    “If you're feeling called to take your spiritual practice to a new level, I really recommend Imad. He is very caring and kind and created a safe space for me to explore deeper levels of myself. I love that he keeps challenging me to see things from new perspectives, but it always feels gentle and safe. Thank you, Imad!”

    -Anca Andrei-Stadnic

  • "Imad’s yin classes are beautiful, healing, and among my favourite practices."

    “His warmth and wisdom radiates throughout his teaching, making each of his classes a uniquely soulful experience. I highly recommend Imad and his classes!!”

    -Alea Husseini

  • "Love his dynamic offering of different movements."

    “I have been taking Imad’s classes (Yoga flow, Yin yoga) for a few months regularly and it’s been wonderful! Love his dynamic offering of different movements. Even if it’s within the same class, every week, there’s always something new to learn and experience. I think what makes Imad’s classes special is his holistic approach having been trained in all interconnected disciplines of health, fitness, and spirituality. Highly recommend it! :)”

    -Jaelin Lee

  • "I have been doing yoga for 18 years now and Imad is one of the best teachers I have ever had."

    “His Flow classes are well choreographed, varied and fun & in his Yin classes, he really teaches you how to meditate. If you want to feel real zen I highly recommend Imad’s classes!”

    -Michelle L

  • "His skill and insight have fostered a deep appreciation for the practice."

    Coming to yoga as a novice, I've been amazed by the progress I've made under Imad's instruction. I completely trust him and look forward to every class, eager to further my evolution.

Whatever brought you here, there is a path forward.

Maybe you’re a yoga teacher looking to teach with more depth and integrity. Or a professional who’s been running on empty for too long. Maybe you’ve tried other approaches and something still feels unresolved in the body.

All of Imad’s offerings are rooted in the same foundation: Yin Yoga as the practice, nervous system regulation as the goal, and practical tools you can use the next day and the day after. The form changes depending on where you are and what you need.

Instead of defeated and stuck, you’ll walk away equipped and capable.
