YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING INSTRUCTORS
Fern White-Andrews
Fern is an experienced and professionally qualified international yoga teacher. She teaches in a gentle, encouraging manner that inspires her students. Her passionate belief in yoga as a philosophy that enhances people’s connection and well-being is fundamental to her teaching. Fern has trained worldwide with renowned teachers in various styles of yoga, such as Hatha, Yin with Myofascial Release, Dynamic Spiral Yoga, and Kid’s Yoga.
Since 2016, Fern has deeply immersed herself in training and personal development in fascia and trauma-release theory and practice. This approach is profoundly integrated into her practices. It dovetails beautifully with mindfulness from both ancient Eastern practices and contemporary Western ones, which she delivers as an embodied system in her teaching.
