Grace Tempany Method
The Grace Tempany Method is a lesson in simplicity, but like all things that are truly simple, it holds a power and complexity in terms of how it reaches people, teaches people, and changes people from the inside out.
Just like its creator, The Grace Tempany Method gets to the core of things, no bullshit en route.
It’s effective, powerful, deep, and utterly transformative.
All you need to bring is a willingness to know, to feel, and to let the practices work on you from the inside out. That combination always leads the practitioner to an encounter with their true self, and the emergence of a radically anchored self-led stance in the world.
Yin is for people who want to get to the truth.
The Grace Tempany Method is just your simplest methodology in how to get there.
Are you willing to feel what you know?
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
– Jung
“Without Grace I wouldn’t be the teacher I am today, holding space the way I do, understanding and standing back from the students’ experience the way I do, giving the gift of silence and space dotted with the odd question to contemplate on.
My experience of The Art of Yin training gave me the confidence and knowledge to be an even more compassionate, functional teacher. It enlightened me to the depths we can find in the practice of Yin and the pure beauty we can find inside”
– Catherine Shine, The Art of Yin Graduate, 2021
When you feel at your edge for time, you can lead from your true self towards your fate.
FATE: Feeling At The Edge is a core piece of the Grace Tempany Method.
I cannot teach experience, but my teaching methodology can facilitate experience.
That methodology is called Feeling At The Edge.
And you’d better believe it’s your FATE that it reveals.
Body is the Subject
FATE is the Methodology
True Self is the Object
FATE as the thread which weaves it all together…

Functional Yoga Foundations
Yin & Yang
3 tenets of Yin: appropriate depth, stillness & time. Target Areas & Skeletal variation as what truly make ones teaching accessible
TAPAS for the pose & NIDRA for the integration (in yang practices)
-
Rebound
as the first site of Integration
Within the Grace Tempany Method, Rebound has a methodology all of its own
Rebound is where interoception is enhanced, curiosity is cultivated, and feeling becomes a practice. Yin without Rebound is not Yin at all.

Daoism
for the simplicity
A Daoist map, philosophically and energetically, is the foundation of both Yin & Yang practices within the Grace Tempany Method. Dantians, Meridians, Qi, and always an in and down lens of integration when it comes to psycho-spiritual-emotional inquiry.
-
Discernment & Critical Thinking
Both skills grow in proportion to ones practice and commitment to the Grace Tempany Method. The more you are willing to feel, the more you are willing to know, the greater your capacity to discern what is real.
-
Language
We fine tune it constantly, as it’s our single best teaching teaching tool. Through the Grace Tempany Method we trust the words that emerge from our bodies that are truly our embodied language.
