A Unique Opportunity To Bring This Practice Directly To You Wherever You Are.
Submerge yourself into a Yin Yoga Training from your own home and learn to share the subtle meditative qualities of this practice. Created from a blend of the ethereal sciences of the East and the material sciences of the West Yin Yoga is all about balance.
This LIVE Online Yin Yoga Teacher Training uses lecture and guided practice to develop a conceptually diverse understanding with extensive first-hand experience.
This rare format is selectively offered each year and has no prerecorded content, you and the group are completely immersed with your teacher every step of the way through the curriculum. In addition to receiving all of the standard materials created for this curriculum the Live Online offering provides additional materials to enhance the home learning experience. Each student also has 1-on-1 meetings with the teacher for individualized guidance and to help answer your specific questions.
“TJ’s Yin training far exceeded my hopes and expectations”
*** No previous experience required, this training is suitable for beginners to Yin Yoga or Yoga in general. It is both for those who want to deepen their own practice as well as for those experienced with Yin and teaching who want more insights.
Yin Yoga brings your awareness through the tissues of your body releasing tension layer by layer. Becoming well versed in Yin Yoga is like being able to apply a deep tissue massage to your body with your mind. Making that experiential connection to all you have heard or read about Chi you can begin to find a new way to experience your body.
This curriculum emphasizes the balance between Eastern (ethereal) and Western (material) sciences. With an in depth exploration of meditation, subtle anatomy and physical anatomy learn to teach the subtle qualities of Yin Yoga. Using lectures and guided practice you will develop your own strategies for teaching and working with students to guide them to listen to their body. The deeper you go with your training and self-exploration the more you can help students learn from their own bodies to create a deep tissue massage with their mind.
COURSE STRUCTURE
The training consists of 4 primary formats of imbuing the content. Our focus is on practicing the content via guided Yin sessions and Meditation techniques alongside significant practice of each pose in our Asana Lab. Providing the groundwork for the practice are the lectures which are presented via projector and slide show. Dialogue plays an important role throughout in connecting the content with each student and addressing their questions. Finally the course requires some study prior to and during the training to ensure that the individual students are processing the material in their own way. This is accomplished through readings, journaling and an essay. There are some quizzes ensure students are comprehending the material but the teacher is there to help at every step.

The content covered is identical regardless of the number of days. We are able to do this by adjusting the number of hours per day and/or adjusting how we curate the dialogues throughout the week.
