Description

Yin Yoga uses long-held postures that support us in accessing the deeper, more yin parts of ourselves. In this 5-day teacher training, we explore how Yin Yoga, with its ancient yogic roots, can affect our physical, energetic, and emotional bodies. Through this understanding, we examine ways to lead a Yin Yoga class and incorporate Yin Yoga postures and philosophy into any yoga teaching or practice.

Guided by Biff Mithoefer, author of The Yin Yoga Kit, and Prema Mayi, we:

  • Learn about Taoist philosophy
  • Explore the Yin Yoga practice of nonstriving and how it influences our lives and teachings
  • Learn about the movement of qi (or prana)in the body and how it can be affected by Yin Yoga practice
  • Develop our understanding of the postures and sequencing a Yin Yoga class
  • Find out what it means to hold a safe, sacred space for a Yin Yoga practice

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

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