Course Content

This Yoga Alliance Professionals UK accredited Yin Yoga training course gives participants space to study and to explore this increasingly popular yoga practice. Yin yoga can give us the space to slow down and to savour the experience of being in postures.

​

Syllabus:
The intention of this course is to equip participants with sufficient knowledge to ground their own practice of Yin Yoga and some skills that could be helpful to teach Yin Yoga.

​

- Principles of Yin yoga
- Anatomy of Yin postures
- How to practice and teach the ten main Yin postures including options for hyper-mobility and contraindications
- Yin postures for meditation
- How to talk students into postures
- How to describe and market Yin yoga classes
- Detailed guidance on developing a personal practice.
- Looking at the postures, discussing variations and learning teaching skills

​

What you will gain:
Upon completion of the training, you will learn and experience sequences that can deepen inner quietening, that can open the hips and other emotional centres of the body, and that can encourage self-reflection.

​

- Explore the relationship between Yin yoga and meditation
- Understand the precautions and the possibilities of Yin yoga
- Learn about meridians and how Yin yoga might influence energy flows
- Examine the differences between Yin yoga, Restorative yoga and dynamic yoga
- How to do Yin yoga in different ways (with props, without props and more)
- The history of Yin yoga
- Examine some of the theories behind Yin yoga

​

In a Yin yoga practice, all the postures are held for sustained periods of time (often five minutes). Within these long holds, there is an encouragement of softness and an emphasis on relaxing muscular tissue. Through these attitudes there can be a gaining of harmony and peace: so there is a greater ease, a deeper sense of balance, feelings of calmness and acceptance.

​

By the end of the training, you will have a flavour of this work and an appreciation for the depth of the study. It is hoped that this will support your own health and way of living and that you may begin to incorporate this learning into your teaching.
