Nine-Day Yin Yoga Training
Advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Training

About the course
This advanced nine-day teacher training will deepen participants' understanding of Yin yoga and teaching Yin yoga. All attendees will have already completed a training in Yin yoga. This is a wonderful way to deepen and reflect on Yin yoga practice and teaching.
Participants will learn the skills and the tools of teaching this practice. Sequencing and theming of classes will be covered in detail. Participants are required to produce a short piece of written work before the course starts. During the course, there will be homework. At the end of the course, each person will teach a 40 minute class to the other participants with feedback provided. There will be sessions on meditation practice and teaching; a thorough understanding of anatomy and Yin yoga; a session on energy channels (meridians) and Traditional Chinese Medicine and how this relates to Yin yoga. On the fourth day (Sunday), the afternoon is off.
The aim of this course is to give participants greater ability, confidence and knowledge to deepen their teaching of Yin yoga. Participants receive a course manual and other handouts. After the course, each participant is eligible for a one hour interview. Numbers on the course are limited to ten for in-person courses and twelve for online courses, and this small group experience can be a significant factor in supporting the process of learning. Training hours (60 in total) are eligible for Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP).
Payment of £200 deposit* secures a place with the balance due two months before the course begins.
