Certifications

The course/hours count as Continuing Education hours for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®) only.

How the training works

The training consists of 20 hours of in-person course, six hours of online sessions via Zoom, and four hours of studying and homework. The onsite training is a two-day course on two Sundays at the Birmingham Buddhist Center, and attendance on both days is required. In addition, there will be two online sessions scheduled between the two dates to support your learning and practice. These sessions are recorded so you can watch them later if you miss them. Also, between these dates, you will work on your homework and practical assessment.

The 30-hour Yin yoga teacher training is a perfect fit for yoga teachers who want to start teaching Yin yoga, as the course also provides hands-on teaching practice to understand the methods and structures for effective teaching. The course is also accessible to anyone who wants to learn Yin yoga to deepen their practice. When sending your acceptance letter, Indian Wellness Academy encloses a reading list. You will need to work through the course reading list at your own pace, but you do not have to complete it before the course start date.

Yoga teaching is a lifelong journey, as long as you have read (or listened to audiobook versions of) a couple of the core texts, that is great. There is no prerequisite in terms of how well you can do the poses. They only require that you can sit on the ground and that you can stand up. The rest will follow. There is a theory exam, which can be sent by email, and a practical. All details will be shared on the first day of the training.

Course information

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of teaching Yin yoga. To understand the postures and their variations and modifications, you will learn the concepts of the various skeletal segments, the different muscle groups, and the importance of the pose-specific target areas. Yin yoga works with the fascia (connective tissue) of the body. These tissues bind together all that you are, and they hold everything in place; as such, your postural habits are ‘held’ in your fascial matrix. Yin yoga specifically targets these tissues and has a profoundly positive impact on your postural tendencies. Your unique patterns of movement are determined by your activities, sleeping patterns, how you think, past accidents, surgeries, and your interactions with all the people in your life.

As you move away from an anatomically neutral position, you begin to feel pain in your joints. Manipulating your connective tissue is one of the best ways to restore healthy alignment and to reduce discomfort. Traditional yoga does affect the fascial network and is an important complement to the Yin practice. Yin yoga ‘unpins’ the holding patterns, and more Yang styles of yoga, like Ashtanga, help the student to develop the strength to maintain and support their new healthy postural habits. Without the ‘unpinning’ of old holding patterns, students tend to practice more dynamic styles of yoga with all of their unconscious compensations. Practising like this can lead to a worsening of misalignments and can increase physical discomfort.
