01The Training

Learn how to find quiet in the mind, stillness in the body and tranquillity in the soul.

Experience the opportunity to delve deep into the Yinside, personify the profound practice and master the techniques to teach this form of yoga. Fascinating and educational training which upon completion will give you the skill and understanding to deepen your personal practice and guide others confidently in theirs.

A 50-hour specialist training in the principles, practice and teaching of Yin Yoga: long-held, well-supported postures that work on the fascia, ligaments and joints rather than the muscles.

These sustained postures offer us the opportunity to move into the spaces we create physically, physiologically, emotionally and spiritually. A passive yet intense, deep yet nourishing, slow yet challenging and incredibly meditative practice. Allowing each and every individual to come into the asana in a way that works for them. Yin Yoga is suitable for practitioners of all yoga styles and abilities and a perfect complement to a yang style practice and prepares you perfectly for meditation.

05Certification

Graduation

The training is recognised by Yoga Alliance for continuing education (YACEP) hours.

Certificates will be awarded on successful completion of the course. Upon the completion of your Yin Yoga Teacher Training, you will have all the basic knowledge and skills required to teach a Yin Yoga class with confidence and the ability to give your students individual assists, modifications and variations where necessary.

This course will also deepen your own Yin Yoga practice, giving you more awareness and respect to the limitations of your body. You will understand why two people will never experience the same yoga posture in the same way, and the same pose may look different on every person due to the individual bone structure.

Written and practical assessments will have to be completed at the end of the course; in order to graduate students must attend a minimum of 90% of the course. Should a student miss more than this, they will be required to take catch-up classes as agreed with the tutor. These will incur an additional charge.
