Understanding Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced Yoga style where postures are held for longer periods of time, typically ranging from one to five minutes or more. Unlike more dynamic forms of yoga, Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments and fascia, rather than focusing primarily on muscles. This practice helps to improve flexibility, release tension, and stimulate the flow of energy through the body’s meridian channels.
Its meditative approach, encourages practitioners to cultivate mindfulness, deep relaxation, and an inward focus.
Harnessing Yin Energy
Yin energy, associated with the moon, promotes a sense of coolness and calmness in both body and mind. Through the stillness of the body in yin yoga, practitioners can achieve stillness of the mind, leading to a deeper realization of their true nature.

The way we know and practice Yin Yoga was developed by Paul Grilley in the late 80s. It is based on Daoist Yoga that combines the ancient Indian traditions with the Chinese energy system (meridians), his knowledge of anatomy and the meridian theory. It is a great complementary practice to all the yang Yoga styles and highly recommended for those of you who practice Ashtanga Vinyasa or Vinyasa Yoga to balance your yin and yang energies.
After completing this 50 hour yin yoga teacher training, you will be able to practice and teach 26 yin asanas, each with various modifications and variations. We all have different bodies and enter poses in different ways, making the use of props such as blocks, bolsters, cushions, and blankets essential for a safe and effective Yin Yoga practice. Some of the key postures you will master include:
In our asana alignment lab we will break down the postural alignment of the postures and you will be taught verbal and hands on feel-good adjustment to guide your students safely through your classes.
