About this training…

In this comprehensive Yin Yoga Teacher Training we will practice Yin Yoga postures according to season & first hand feel the effects of unblocking our energy lines.

You’ll learn about the science & purpose behind Yin Yoga and its roots in ancient Traditional Chinese Philosophy. This course will give you all the tools to confidently introduce Yin Yoga to your students in classes and sequence themed classes.

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

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