Overview
Yin yoga has a deeply healing effect, by bringing the focus more inwards, with appropriate sequences you can rebalance the major imbalances in the body, the emotional blockages, the lack of energy and trust, fears can all be nurtured through a Yin yoga practice. Yin yoga is based on the traditional Chinese medicine, and therefore, intensively works with meridians, targeting the organs and balancing the five Elements: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. During this training, you will understand how Yin postures can be beneficial for you and how to teach them effectively to others. It’s a process of feeling deeply and re-patterning your system to its optimal potential.
The 30 hours Yin Yoga teacher training is an intensive training course that will give you a proper understanding of practicing and teaching Yin yoga. Yin yoga is rapidly becoming a popular yoga style, perhaps because every day "Yang" lifestyle is so exhausting that you all naturally need to bring your focus more inwards, going more "yinside".
The focus of Yin yoga is on the rejuvenation of the physical and mental body, by maintaining a certain set of asanas for three to five minutes and allowing to apply gentle tension and compression to your tissues. The practice can be an excellent bridge towards meditation or can be a meditation itself. Yin yoga teaches you to be with what is; and when you let go of resistance, sometimes by releasing physical, mental or emotional baggage, your lives become more fluid and easeful.
Curriculum
In this training you will explore:
- Yin yoga asana practice - how, why and when to practice this style safely and effectively
- Yin yoga philosophy (Taoist principles, Yin vs Yang)
- Yoga anatomy (connective tissues, compression vs tension, fascia structure)
- Introduction to the Chinese meridians and organ health (practice sequences for the kidneys, liver, etc.)
- Balancing the Yin style with a Yang practice to support structural strength and stability
- The primary focus of breath in asana: length, depth, and direction (including pranayama practice)
- Mindfulness in asana and meditation practice
- The art of teaching and how to sequence a Yin yoga class
- The use of touch and hands-on adjustments
- Skillful verbal communication
As the final assessment, there will be a written test and a practical teaching experience, where every student will create his / her own Yin yoga sequence.
