2027 Yin Yoga Teacher Training & Immersion
Yin Yoga Through the Lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine:
60-Hour Teacher Training & Immersion
Yin Yoga invites us beneath the surface - into the connective tissues, energetic pathways and quieter layers of awareness. This experiential training and immersion bring together Yin Yoga, functional anatomy, Western physiology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, mindfulness and acupressure. We will explore how Yin postures affect us physically, mentally and energetically, and how these different maps of the body overlap and inform one another. The aim is not simply to learn more poses, but to understand the practice from the inside out.
For yoga teachers and dedicated students alike.
No prior teacher training or certification is required - only curiosity and a desire to deepen your experience and understanding of Yin Yoga.

• Muscle anatomy, joints, connective tissue and fascia

An Experiential Approach
This training is rooted in direct experience and repetition. Rather than simply memorizing poses or anatomical information, you will return to the postures again and again, observing how they affect your body, breath, mind and energy.
The poses become portals for self-observation, self-reflection, breath awareness and greater presence. As your personal experience of Yin deepens, you develop the understanding and confidence to use the practice on your own journey - and to share it meaningfully with your students.
