7 Day 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India
India Yin Yoga Teacher Training
This Yin yoga teacher training is an intensive course, and carefully structured. It will give you an understanding of practicing and teaching Yin yoga. This is a slow-paced and gentle style of yoga practice where postures are held in a static way for 2 to 5 minutes. In this style, we position our body in a particular pose and then as we let go of effort and surrender into the pose with presence and breath. This enables us to relax the muscles and apply moderate stress to the deepest layers of tissue in the body, tendons, fascia, ligaments, etc. - thus improving flexibility and vitality. Combine this with mindfulness and internal awareness, and Yin becomes a highly meditative tool to cultivate inner silence and explore the realms of our consciousness.

Instructors
Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi
After practicing yoga from the very early age of 12, he decided to leave his family and friends behind to pursue the yogic path and meet his first yoga master - Narayan Muni at Jharsuguda Muni Samaj Yoga Ashram. It was here he took his first steps into the Himalayan tradition. In 1988, he met his second yoga master - Swami Niranjan Ji to learn the wisdom of the Vedas. There he came across the Jnana yoga (knowledge), which taught him important lessons on the path to self-realization. Yogi Vishnu was initiated into the Raja Yoga system by his great Guru Swami Veda Bharati and Swami Rama.

It is common knowledge that food is a vital component and the source of life's energy for the human body. Our physical and emotional health is impacted by the type and quality of the food we eat.

Since a full-fledged yoga practice necessitates the body's adequate nutritional augmentation, the energetic component of nutrition must also be taken into account while deciding on your diet.
