Description

Teaching in all its forms is about connection. To connect deeply with our students, family, and others in our lives, we must first connect with ourselves.

Through the powerful practice of Yin Yoga and by exploring the wisdom of the archetypes of the warrior, healer, teacher, and visionary, we journey into ourselves to explore ways in which we can best support our students and others in their life journey. We examine creative and collaborative approaches to teaching and learning as we:

  • Practice holding space
  • Develop body and energy awareness
  • Deepen our range of perception
  • Learn to follow our “inner teacher” and support others to do the same
  • Explore and develop our unique strengths and styles as teachers
  • Identify and address our blind spots and “growing edges” as teachers
  • Explore the use of story, poetry, and metaphors to invite a deeper somatic experience

This Yin Yoga teacher training is suitable for yoga teachers and practitioners at all levels of yoga experience.

Embracing the Essence of Yin Yoga can be taken alone or in conjunction with Exploring the Path of Yin Yoga. Each program is a 50-hour Yin Yoga teacher training.
