This training introduces the History of Yin Yoga, its theory and application, and the tools to stabilize and deepen practice. You will explore the dynamic balance between Yin and Yang, learning how these principles support both movement and stillness.
The focus on Yin Asanas includes their benefits and contraindications, work with archetypal poses and variations, and the intelligent use of props. You’ll also learn to create and hold safe spaces, refine your teaching voice, and design meaningful sequences that support healing and growth.
Anatomy and energetics play a central role. You’ll study compression vs. tension theory, the fascia and connective tissue, and the integration of physical and subtle bodies. Exploration continues with the five koshas, energy fields, 12 Meridian Lines, and the chakra system, connecting these teachings to daily life.
Finally, you’ll examine the nervous system—learning how sympathetic and parasympathetic responses relate to Yin practice and how the relaxation response fosters balance, release, and restoration.
