Stepping onto and creating your yogic path...

Take a leap/journey inward this summer with Trilogy Sanctuary , in the beautiful quaint hilly seaside village of La Jolla, San Diego. Immerse yourself in this transformative journey with the intention of shedding layers, undoing habitual patterns keeping you stuck or stagnant, and fully allowing yourself to step into the radiance of your own lightness of being! Summer is the time of year to do just this - to regenerate and embrace your light, to uncover, let go and liberate...

This unique training will be taking place at Trilogy's ocean-view rooftop in a geodesic outdoor/indoor yoga dome and in our Earth Room (huge studio space with exhaust fan) as well as team-building excursions to the La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores parks. Our intention is to create an experience that will leave you refreshed and awakened to a new sense of self, as well as to be fully immersed in a safe space. One where you will not only be surrounded by nature's beauty, but stimulated to focus and dive into your transformative learning process, supported and nurtured to heal and regenerate your energy and spirit.

This yoga immersion in San Diego is a comprehensive 200hr YTT where you will be guided by our YTT lead, Gabrielle Blachley, as well as our eclectic and extraordinary staff of healers, doctors, teachers, performers, activists, and devoted passionate humans who want their lives impressions to be purely positive ones.

Committing to an immersion can be daunting, but we promise it will be life-changing. The consistency of this immersion will encourage discipline with new life rituals and healthier behavioral patterns. Each day you will step onto the yogic path with more awareness of your actions and thoughts, how you breathe and the power of breath to change your relationship to life, daily meditation, yoga classes, and practice teaching to develop a life-changing life tool. The intimacy of this time and space will create life-long friendships and bonds and you will be encouraged and supported to courageously dive in and allow your most authentic self to emerge and flourish in the divine essence of Summer's light.

Gabrielle Blachley - Lead Facilitator

• E-RYT 500+ with yoga training certifications and continuing education degrees from India, Guatemala, Chicago, and San Diego.

• Lead facilitator of over 30 yoga teacher trainings, continuing education programs, and yoga mentorship in San Diego, California.

• Gabrielle has been teaching yoga full-time for 20+ years and owned her own donation-based yoga school - devoted to and passion-filled about her yogic path.

• My Dharma: "Metamorphosis:" Dharma + Transformational Life Coaching and Retreats, "Healing Through Stillness:" Restorative Yoga Program Creator, Rise by Ritual: Women's Monthly Gatherings, Reiki Healer + Sound Healing, Workshop Creator and Facilitator.
  

  Gabrielle’s belief is that yoga is limitless in its potential to transform and heal our lives. Her approach to teaching is holistic, intuitive, playful, and therapeutic, She encourages her students to turn inward to the constant fluctuations and transformations taking place with each breath, recognizing that each time you step onto the space of your mat, you can begin again.

Gabrielle was born and raised in Chicago, where she was trained to be a professional ballerina, blessed to have her mother as her mentor for many years. It was this experience that set the stage for her affinity and passion for physical expression and artistry of movement.

Her lifelong dream and dedication to becoming a ballerina was intercepted by an unfortunate injury. But, it was through this humbling life experience that she found yoga, which would forever change and heal her life, and her relationship to her physical body and mind.

After receiving a BA in Fine Arts and Communications from Loyola University of Chicago, Gabrielle’s free spirit led her to many faraway places like Hawaii, Europe, India, and Morocco, where she lived, studied, and trained for a number of years exploring the vast world of yoga and the healing arts. It was on this journey, she heard the calling and first realized she might just be...a teacher, like her Mother (something she denied for years)?!?!

These life experiences and a series of life-altering events challenged, humbled, and encouraged her to spread her wings and begin her own donation-based yoga school, Monarch Yoga Shala, in Chicago, IL. Founding a donation-based yoga school, was a dream, and through this dream, Gabrielle realized her potential to help and transform people's lives was endless. It was also during this time in her life, as a young mother and business owner that again life challenged her physically, and after a traumatic spine injury, was faced with the reality and challenge of rebuilding her relationship with her body. This new reality as well as several other injuries over time would give her priceless insight and influence her to pursue a different path as a teacher, one which forced her to fully focus on the importance of biomechanics and alignment. After doing a few online trainings with Sadie Nardidni and working at Catalyst Physical Therapy and Wellness as Yoga Director, her style of yoga is more "anatomy-enhanced," with attention to intuitive alignment.

Being raised by a strong-willed, free-spirited artist and force of nature, Gabrielle always envisioned doing something for women's empowerment. Rise by Ritual is a women’s healing circle and collaboration of women empowering women which began as a dharma project that turned into a monthly gathering co-led with Fallon Lev at Trilogy Sanctuary in San Diego.

After a few decades of traveling and teaching from studio to studio, gaining invaluable life and professional experience, Gabrielle's butterfly soul found a yoga home at Trilogy Sanctuary in La Jolla. Gabrielle is the director of Yoga Teacher Trainings, lead instructor, workshop facilitator, founder and co-lead of Circle + Rising, and creator and lead facilitator of "Healing Through Stillness," a Restorative Yoga Training.

Gabrielle's dharma has revealed itself as being a "space holder" and spiritual guide: one who holds safe, sacred space for individual exploration, transformation, and deep healing. We all find ourselves in life moments where what we are doing, is no longer working... this is our chance to take a sacred pause, "to begin again" and realize the limitless potential of every breath and every life moment!

Joe Caldera

Joe Caldera has had spiritual and psychic experiences since he was a young child. These ranged from receiving messages to experiencing visions of people and events before they happen. At first, Joe assumed this was something everyone could do easily since it came so naturally to him from an early age. While it is true that everyone is born capable of these spiritual gifts and abilities, many do not allow that part of themselves to open. 

At age nineteen Joe started having clear, specific visions about future events. At first, he would experience this only a day or two in advance in dream states - they would always unfold exactly how he envisioned. After years of suppressing the curiosity sparked by these experiences, the journey to pursue his true purpose in this realm finally began.

This spiritual journey involved many avenues from yoga to Zen meditation, religious studies to metaphysics, and various healing modalities, all of which are incorporated into Joe’s practice today. After this self-exploration, he worked with a teacher in Florida who helped him more fully develop these gifts and has been involved with The Berkeley Psychic Institute on various levels. Now, Joe is a well-known San Diego spiritual healer providing spiritual readings, healing and counseling services in his La Jolla serene office nestled on the rooftop of Trilogy.
