Attendance & Flexibility

In-Person Learning: Our 300-hour Training is designed as a primarily in-person experience to foster deep connection and hands-on learning.

Virtual Flexibility When You Need It. We also understand that life happens. To support your lifestyle and the health of our community, we offer a virtual backup for those times when the weather makes travel unsafe, you are feeling under the weather and want to keep our studio space germ-free, and unexpected life events prevent you from making it to the studio.

Because of the depth of these programs, we ask that you miss no more than 30 hours of live instruction. If you do need to miss a session, we have a simple make-up process involving recordings and practice to help you stay on track and connected to your fellow trainees.

Requirements for Virtual Participation: To maintain the integrity of the training, virtual attendees must have a computer with a webcam, reliable internet, a private space, and enough room to be fully seen on your mat so we can offer feedback and support your practice safely.

Faculty

Laurie Farmer

Laurie is E-RYT500, YACEP and Reiki level 2 certified. Laurie’s yoga journey began in 2000 with a convenient class at the gym, sparking a love for lifelong learning and exploration of yoga’s many facets. Witnessing the preciousness of life during her 17 years working in hospice fostered a profound appreciation for mindfulness and living in the present moment, values that now permeate her teaching. Grateful for her own teachers, Laurie discovered yoga’s power for self-care, mindfulness, and personal transformation. Witnessing its positive impact fueled her passion to share this gift with others. She believes that yoga truly is a source of strength and resilience. 

Laurie’s classes, known for their welcoming atmosphere, foster exploration for students of all levels. Her background as a clinical social worker enriches her understanding of mental and emotional well-being, complementing her yoga expertise. A passionate teacher with a warm and friendly personality, Laurie guides students through various styles and paces, including flow, gentle, restorative, yin, chair yoga, and yoga4cancer.  Having experienced the holistic benefits of yoga firsthand, particularly during her own journey with cancer, Laurie’s classes emphasize present-moment awareness, the breath, and a sense of curiosity and joyful exploration. It is her daily practice to live yoga “off the mat” and it is her hope that she encourages students to do this as well. 

In the Sharing Yoga 300-Hour Teacher Training, Laurie serves as lead trainer, guiding experienced teachers through deeper exploration of yoga philosophy, pranayama and the subtle body, meditation, and professional development. She also covers the practical side of building a sustainable yoga career, including teaching in studios, corporate settings, and private sessions, as well as navigating marketing and online presence. Her goal is to help experienced teachers deepen their relationship with these powerful practices and develop the confidence and tools to share them more fully.

She has also completed additional training in teaching trauma-sensitive yoga, 200 hours of instruction with Asa Dustin and Stephen Bethel, Sharing Yoga’s 300-hour yoga teacher training, and 500 hours of mantra teacher training with Rajeshwari Gretchen Carmel.

Corina Benner

Yoga has been a great passion for most of Corina Benner’s adult life and has been her profession since 1999. She sees yoga practice as an incredibly efficient vehicle for vibrant good health on all levels of being, and wholeheartedly believes in the simple, profound power of breath and movement, stillness and silence. When combined with intention, attention, courage and perseverance she’s found this recipe awakens people to vibrant vitality, strength and serenity, clarity and confidence, and the possibility of deeply enjoying their experience of being alive. Her positive energy is contagious; her style is soulful, poetic and philosophical; her sequencing is intelligent and creative, and her instruction is detailed and precise with vivid imagery and occasional laughter. ​ As an E-RYT 500 she has received certifications in vinyasa yoga (Cyndi Lee); yin yoga (Paul Grilley); mindfulness meditation (Dharma Moon). Her continuing education pursuits have enhanced her teaching toolbox with a refined understanding of the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali; a specialization in yoga for grief; yoga for anxiety and depression, yoga for cancer and end-of-life; fluency in physical anatomy and a deep dive into chakras and subtle anatomy; intensive study of Tibetan Buddhism, and forays into learning Sanskrit and Ayurveda. For 18 years Corina owned and operated Wake Up Yoga, ultimately with three locations in Philadelphia. In that capacity she ran a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training program each year, which was locally regarded as Ivy League and turned out highly educated, skillful yoga teachers. As a yin yoga teacher, she has collaborated with Yoga International; locally she collaborates with the Philadelphia Wisdom Seat; and she continue to offer public and private classes, workshops, trainings and retreats locally, nationally and internationally.
