Description
Yin Yoga Certification
Exploring meridian theory, the five elements, and mindful movement practices.
The Yin Yoga Certification training module will explore how to work with the different elements (wood, fire, water, metal, and earth) and meridian lines to create meaningful practices that ground, nurture, and nourish us.
This is a hybrid Yin Yoga Teacher Training composed of virtual and in-person class time. In our Yin Yoga, we transition to the tradition of Daoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy that honours the principles of Tao and aims to live in harmony with nature and the universe. The practice of Yin Yoga, founded in the early 80s, has since become a beloved style of movement recovery. Ultimately, with Yin, we honor slowing down and moving within—following the waves of sensation as we work with our connective tissue, holding poses for 3-5 minutes.
This training is part of the 300-hour YTT certification, contributing to becoming a certified 500-hour Yoga Teacher.
Yin Yoga Certification is a hybrid training consisting of 9 hours of live/virtual sessions in 3-hour blocks across 3 sessions, followed by an additional 22.5 hours taught in-person over 3 days (usually Friday to Sunday).
