Yin Yoga Teacher Training

Moving to the Yinside

If you’ve enjoyed Yin Yoga, you know that it is a slow, quiet approach to postures that can help nourish the body by providing deep release of the dense connective tissues of fascia, ligaments and tendons. You may also have experienced a release in your mind and spirit as Yin Yoga provides insight and awareness as a meditative practice. The philosophical and physiological underpinnings of Yin Yoga are further enhanced with the addition of pranayama and mindfulness techniques to create a peaceful practice that will ease your body and restore your mind.
In the training, you will develop your ability to:

  • Deepen your understanding of the practice of Yin Yoga.

  • Learn the art of release that is inherent to yogic practice.

  • Sequence and teach a Yin Yoga class.

  • Incorporate elements of Yin Yoga into your regular classes.

  • Understand the philosophical and physiological elements of Yin Yoga.

  • Skillfully use mindfulness and breathing techniques in your own practice and teaching.

This program qualifies for 14 CEUs with Yoga Alliance. This is a hands-on intensive featuring lessons in anatomy, asana modifications, sequencing, benefits and contraindications. You will also be provided the opportunity to practice-teach Yin Yoga with your fellow trainees during the training.

Make space and maximize your life force with an exploration and practice of asana, pranayama and meditation.

  • We begin with a look at the sutras that relate to the 3rd and 4th limbs of Patanjali’s 8-limbed path and how they can inform and aid our approach to the practice of meditation.

  • To ensure everyone is prepared for the breath work, we will review the pranayama techniques which we will employ during the day: Ujjayi, Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Kumbhaka and Bandha.

  • This is followed by an asana practice intended to prepare the nervous system for the journey into the deeper layers of the consciousness.

  • Pranayama practice using the techniques reviewed.

  • Savasana & Yoga Nidra to support the nervous system.

  • Meditation to integrate the practices.

  • Conclusions

This workshop is suitable for students with some basic knowledge of pranayama who are looking to deepen their understanding of the principles and practices involved. Great for practitioners and teachers who want to gain more experience in this aspect of yoga practice.
