100hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training Online

Introduction to Yin Yoga & Poses (25hrs) Yin Yoga is essentially a practice of surrender. Unlike other forms of yoga which require strength and stability, Yin Yoga requires stillness and softness. The result is a more mobile and fluid physical body and a more resilient and steady mind. To teach Yin Yoga is an art that requires skills that are much different than teaching more active forms of yoga. In this module you will learn the philosophical and physiological bases for the practice, the postures of Yin Yoga, target areas, variations, sequencing, and how to teach.

Functional Yoga Anatomy (25hrs) Functional anatomy is the study of anatomy in its relation to function. In other words, what are we trying to do in our yoga poses? We know, just by looking around at our fellow humans, that we are all unique externally, but this is also true, internally. Each one of us has a completely unique structure in terms of size, shape, proportion, and placement of our bones and joints. Because of this, every individual will have a completely different expression of their practice of yoga. Learning to see these differences and how to instruct your students into the intended function of the pose being performed is the most important quality of the Yin Yoga teacher. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into individual anatomy, bone and joint structure, and postures.
