Step Into Your Metamorphosis: Turn Inward. Face Yourself. Rewrite your Story.
A Transformational and Therapeutic Journey Through Yoga Teacher Training
This summer, say yes to yourself.
Come as you are, and step into something real. This isn’t about performing the perfect pose or becoming someone else. It’s about unraveling the layers, letting go of who you thought you had to be, and finally coming home to who you really are.
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~Anaïs Nin
At Trilogy Sanctuary, nestled in the hilly seaside village of La Jolla, San Diego, you’ll be held in a space designed for transformation. Think rooftop ocean views, a geodesic yoga dome open to the sky, powerful nature excursions, and a community of humans willing to get raw, real, and courageous, just like you. This is your season to shed what’s no longer yours. To dissolve the patterns that keep you small. To remember what it feels like to be fully alive.
Through this immersive and therapeutic 200-hour yoga teacher training, you’ll be guided inward, into your breath, your body, your truth, and supported to rise into a version of yourself that feels grounded, embodied, and unapologetically alive. We’re not here to teach you how to play the part. We’re here to help you reclaim your power, reset your nervous system, and reawaken the voice inside you that knows. You’ll explore yoga not as a performance, but as a path back to your wisdom through movement, stillness, breath, self-inquiry, and connection.
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” — Paul Coelho
Led by Gabrielle Blachley and a team of gifted teachers, healers, doctors, and change-makers, this training is both rigorous and soulful. It’s a sanctuary for healing, growth, truth-telling, and full-body YES moments. You’ll be seen. You’ll be challenged. You’ll be supported. And you’ll walk away inspired to change, from the inside out. Yes, it takes courage to say yes to something this big. But if you’re feeling the pull… you’re ready. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to begin…
This isn’t just a yoga teacher training.
It’s a metamorphosis.
It’s your rite of passage.
And it’s calling you forward…
"The wound is the place where the Light enters you." — Rumi

Read bios below and if you are interested in becoming a yoga teacher, then please fill out the form at bottom!
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 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 believes 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. This experience set the stage for her affinity and passion for physical expression and artistry of movement.
An unfortunate injury intercepted her lifelong dream and dedication to becoming a ballerina. 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 several years exploring the vast world of yoga and the healing arts. It was on this journey, that 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 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 a 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.

BRANDON BERGADO
At 15 years old I left my home in San Jose, California to play hockey for teams all around the US and Canada. What I thought was going to be a long ice hockey career was cut short in 2019. Two major concussions within three weeks of each other forced me to let go of everything I worked for and focus on healing my brain. It’s crazy because what I thought was my biggest nightmare, ended up being the most restorative transformation I could have ever imagined. These concussions gifted me the opportunity to sit alone with my thoughts for months and discover the most powerful method of healing. Enter Yoga and Meditation.
I was so broken at the time that I promised myself I would do anything I could to build a happy home within myself. A place where I can always come back to and never feel lost in life. To me, meditation is the best route to that destination. That is what Yoga is all about. How open can you be to accepting life changes? And can you create the awareness and discernment to interpret every thing that happens in a way where you never loose your inner peace? That’s the work that made me fall in love with this practice.
My roots in yoga started with meditation but as I got healthy, my practice evolved into asanas (postures) and inversions. I'm drawn to creative, yet challenging, movement patterns that allow you to transcend your mental and physical limitations. I believe this is where we combine the practices of meditation, mindful movement, and breath to bring the mind back to center, back to home.
