A New Chapter for The YTT Collective
Big news, friends! 📣
After 11 beautiful years of leading our 5-star Yoga Teacher Training, I am deeply honored to pass the torch to someone extraordinary.
In 2014, during my very first training, one student stood out—her presence was radiant, her practice embodied grace, strength, compassion, humility, and wisdom. That student is Ginny Washburne.
It is with joy and excitement that I announce Ginny will now step into leadership (and ownership) of the YTT Collective. She will bring her own unique style, while carrying forward the qualities, values, and standard of excellence that have always defined our training.
Please help me celebrate and welcome Ginny Washburne as she leads the next generation of yoga teachers!
A Note from Ginny
I had the privilege of meeting Kim in the summer of 2014 after seeing an ad in a local magazine for her YTT program. My husband and I had just moved from Chicago to Atlanta with our three young sons, and I was searching for a fresh start after stepping away from full-time work.
I signed up for her yoga teacher training program and was immediately struck by her deep knowledge, peaceful presence, and generous spirit. I learned not only how to teach yoga, but also how to regulate my nervous system, breathe better, and feel more at home in my own body.
Over the past eleven years, Kim has become both a mentor and a dear friend, profoundly shaping my personal practice and professional path. I’ve had the privilege of teaching in Atlanta and Orange County, CA, alongside some truly incredible instructors.
My teaching continues to evolve and grow as a lifelong student of this beautiful practice.
Today, I am deeply honored and humbled to share that I will be continuing the program she created—a program I believe in wholeheartedly and have witnessed transform the lives of so many, including my own.
With immense gratitude, I look forward to leading the YTT Collective, and carrying forward Kim’s legacy of connection, community, and growth.
