Course information

In this course, you will get a solid understanding of Yin yoga as a healing modality. Learn all the essential elements of Yin yoga and integrate and practice the therapeutic and mindfulness aspects. You look into the Yin side of yoga from all angles and dive deep in the subject of how to apply Yin yoga as therapy.

Yin Yoga Therapy Teacher Training, in a nutshell, is all about how to:

• Maintain and expand flexibility and mobility, rejuvenate the body
• Practice mindfulness in daily life, create peace in your mind
• Heal through the Daoist wisdom of the meridian chi flow in our bodies, harmonize body, mind, and soul

By practicing Yin yoga, you will get the opportunity to learn to release physical and emotional tension, free stagnant or blocked energy, and cultivate a peaceful quality of mind. The instructor Alexandra Denkinger will guide you on the path to gain the knowledge, the practical experience, and the certificate to share this wisdom.

This Yin therapy training can be a gateway to reconnect to your true self. To experience a deep opening in both body and mind. To dive deep into the Taoist healing wisdom of Chi and the Meridian flow. Ultimately to experience Yin yoga as a healing modality and a way to live.

When you awaken and align your body’s underlying energy, you activate your innate process of healing and transformation. The instructor will demystify how energy affects everything you do and feel and show you how to work with your body and your mind.

You will learn about acupressure points applied in the poses and sequencing according to physical or emotional issues. The alternative medicine aspect of Daoism offers the opportunity to deep healing and profound transformation.

You will learn simple principles, tools, and practices that balance your subtle body—which is how physical, emotional and spiritual healing begins—so you can build vitality, unravel energetic blockages, and boost your immunity.

The five Daoist Elements give you resources of inspiration for your practice and your teaching. Mindfulness will be a subject in focus and the instructor will guide you on how to integrate mindfulness principles to transform a Yin yoga class into a meditation practice and a healing session.

In this course, you will find the opportunity to practice teaching online yourself and develop your own style in the art of teaching Yin. Focus is to imply sequences according to the Daoist Elements, understanding their energetic value and the subtle art of creating the ideal environment for a transformational experience of body, mind, and soul to take place.

By the end of this course, you will feel stronger, healthier, and better able to thrive and flow in the life you are meant to live. As an additional bonus, you will receive access to an extensive Google Drive library and the manual and e-book "The Power of Chi – Move Your Energy With Yin Yoga".
