Nine-Day Yin Yoga Training

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).
