Shamanism. Yoga. Expressive Arts. Social Change.
The Shamanic Yoga Institute is a small grassroots business, female owned and run. We are a collective of teachers and mentors committed to training practitioners in the technologies of the soul. Our intermodal, experiential, nature-informed programs invite students to participate in their own healing and grow their capacity for leadership.
This work will change your positionality, your perspective, and the way you engage with life.
It is time to step out of your limiting beliefs and begin to create a new story, where you are living a life of purpose and connection. SYI trainings and mastery programs are strong containers designed to activate personal transformation. Our innovative curriculum, crafted by our founder Christine Selda, Ph.D., weaves together the principles and practices of yoga, expressive arts, and shamanism. You can expect within these initiatory processes to receive tools for accessing your worthiness and creativity, reclaiming ceremony and personal power, and applying your gifts as an advocate for change.
