Travel / In-Person Hybrid Training
8/28 – 12/6/2026

I am so honored and excited to be coming back to teacher trainings. For the first time since 2021, I’ll be teaching a 200 Hour teacher training. And for the very first time EVER, I’m co-leading training.

Join me and my mentor and dear friend Dana Damara for a 200 Hour teacher training in 2026 that includes a week long retreat in Thailand! This is a training like no other, designed to give you a chance to get away from it all while also respecting the business of everyday life.

So, what does that look like?

Meet Gillian

“Take a moment to look back through your practice and realize how far you’ve come. Your own personal progress is extraordinary. Don’t dismiss it.”

Gillian Confair, E-RYT 500, has two great passions in life: yoga, and science fiction. She pursues both with the same commitment, and finds the same joy, curiosity, and excitement in learning more about the great unknown both in outer space and inner space. The first she pursues through reading and watching all things SciFi, and the second she explores through yoga. She combines these two passions with her video series, SciFi & the Sutras, and in her classes.

In 2013 Gillian created The Average Yogi – a website welcoming all yogis to the practice, regardless of age, shape, or size. Through humor and honesty, Gillian offers space for exploration and self-love, both on the mat and off. Her goal is simple: Come as you are, and the practice will meet you there.

Through a combination of challenging and unique flows, her classes get you out of your head and into your body. The goal is to leave worries at the door and plant seeds of positive thought to carry throughout the day. Come to her class prepared to move and sweat. Leave feeling uplifted, energized, and more positively connected to the world around you.
