Yin Yoga - Level 1 Certification


  • Kaia Yoga 328 Pemberwick Road Greenwich, CT, 06831 United States (map)

The increasingly popular practice of Yin Yoga is a great complement to our active lifestyles, yoga practices, and other physical activities. Yin Yoga uses deep, healing body work to improve joint mobility and range of motion, relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and the effect of stress and overuse, quiet the mind, and encourage a mind-body connection. Join us for this foundation level Yin Yoga Teacher Training, which will introduce you to skills and provide you with information needed to offer Yin Yoga classes and incorporate Yin elements into other yoga classes, your personal practice, and your daily life.

In this training you will learn:

  • the principles of Yin Yoga, and how it differs from other practices

  • physical and emotional benefits of a Yin practice

  • Yin poses and an understanding of their functions

  • breathwork techniques to support and enhance the practice

  • the use of props both as support and to deepen the poses

  • how to sequence and design a class flow

  • how to cue Yin poses

  • touch and adjustment techniques

  • how to keep students safe and offer alternate poses to suit the needs of the students

  • basics of anatomy as it relates to a Yin practice

  • how to create a calm, peaceful classroom environment

Students will have the opportunity to experience class both as a student and as an instructor - leading their fellow students through an mini Yin sequence.

This course is open to certified yoga or fitness professionals, non-professionals, and fitness enthusiasts with a desire to deepen their practice and improve their overall well-being.
