Yin Yoga Teacher Training - Level 1/Foundations

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 bodywork 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 the 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

• touch and adjustment techniques

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