Soften. Yield. Lean in.

As our lives become busier and move at a quick pace, there is an increased demand and higher attendance for soothing Yin Yoga practices. Being still in our bodies and minds in order to cultivate space for tranquility is much needed in our daily lives. While Yin Yoga offers physical benefits such as increased range of motion and lubrication of our connective tissues, the practice also creates a pathway for mindful contemplation and introspection. Listening to the true wisdom of our hearts and connecting to a greater source of inspiration allows us to truly get to know ourselves better as Yogis on and off the mat.

This comprehensive training offers students and teachers an opportunity to hone in on the skills required to better understand, teach and practice Yin Yoga. Most importantly, this training allows us to embody the teachings of Yin Yoga on a personal level in order to live a more balanced life. Embark on the journey of a Yin Yoga Embodied Training to become a masterful teacher or take a personal retreat to enhance the understanding of this practice.  

You will receive a digital Yin Embodied Training Manual.

We are offering an extra 10 hours with enriched materials of updated Yin Yoga (science and experience-based) and adding practice and teaching of different meditation modalities in this training.
