Yin yoga is the practice of still, grounded stretched held for a longer duration of time to release constricted tissues & create a healthy circulation of energy. It helps us to release resistance, deepen awareness, become present and find surrender in the moment.
Learn how to teach safe & meaningful yin yoga classes, holding space for your students to melt into stillness.
In accordance with the Yoga Alliance temporary standards, online YTT's can currently receive the same accreditation as in-person courses.
The course will be facilitated as a 4-day immersion, using teachable for a professional interface for class videos and extra resources, but lectures and tutorials will be delivered live via zoom to allow a more interactive learning experience. Students will receive the 80pg+ Yin section of my textbook. The only sections not delivered live will be the morning and evening asana practices.
There will be a daily quiz, final exam and all students must submit a filmed class as a teaching practicum so I can give you some personalized feedback.
