About this training…

In this comprehensive Yin Yoga Teacher Training we will not only practice Yin Yoga postures through the seasons & feel the effects of unblocking our energy lines, but learn about the science & purpose behind Yin Yoga and its roots in Traditional Chinese Philosophy. This course will give you all the tools to confidently introduce Yin Yoga to your students in classes.

Yin Yoga offers us an opportunity to ‘clean house’ so that the body & its organs can function more harmoniously as per the traditions of TCM. 

All too often, the build-up of stress from various aspects of life cause not only tightness and discomfort in the body, but illness too. There is a way to undo the cycle and earn how to properly relax. Yin can potentially aid healing by reducing the stress & anxiety and calming down the nervous system, improving health & wellbeing, in body and also mind.

Included in this training is a weekly Yin Yoga class that Nina holds online, which you are invited to attend.

Please note: This course is open to previously certified 200hr Yoga Teachers.

The 20 hours are made up of online training hours and completing approximately four hours of self-study: 2 assignments & reading.
 

The Training will cover:

• Exploring the Traditional Yin Yoga Postures (& some variations/modifications) and why we practice them in this way
• The benefits of this ‘sweet surrender’ practice as a whole
• The role of Stress and the Nervous System
