Guiding the Quiet Revolution: Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Schoolhouse Yoga

Yin Yoga is the art of insightful relaxation, personal acceptance and contemplative awareness. Those who have experienced it are rejuvenated and transformed. The practice consists of long relaxed holds with an emphasis on the connective tissue and joints of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. It allows students to focus deep within the body.

This specialized training examines:
-Yin Yoga philosophy
-anatomical considerations in pose selection
-prop and non-prop modifications
-the role of language to enhance the Yin experience
-Yin sequencing
-techniques on incorporating Yin into a general class

The training includes a manual for continued reference. Students will appreciate your addition of Yin Yoga to their practice, and this training will enhance your own Yoga sadhana.

Often, Yoga’s physical practice is marketed as “more, hotter, faster”, but more and more students are getting wise to this unattainable acceleration. Yin Yoga’s philosophy of stillness and independence counters this frenzied rush. Empower your students!
