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.

Our Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a six-day residential course and allows you to deepen your own practice and also learn how to guide others. This immersive yin yoga training is ideal for everyone who would like to learn more about this slow-paced style of Yoga and connect deeper with their feminine energy.

Step into the Yin side of life and join us in Germany to explore the benefits of the Yin Yoga practice!

This course is embedded in the YACEP program of Yoga Alliance and you can add the 50 hours of this course to your continuous education hours.

Why Choose Us?

Program Highlights

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.

Yin Yoga Asanas

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:

  • Sphinx
  • Frog
  • Dangling
  • Butterfly
  • Snail
Asana Alignment

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.

In Yin Yoga, alignment is less about achieving a “perfect posture” and more about finding a shape that works for your and your students’ individual bodies.

Important Principles of Yin Yoga Alignment

  • Individual Anatomy
  • Functional Approach
  • Use of Props
  • Finding Your Edge
  • Stillness and Time
Fundamentals of Yin Yoga

What is Yin Yoga? Where does it come from? Why are we holding poses for such a long time? What does finding your edge mean? 

These and more questions will be answered in the Yin fundamentals classes.

Merdian System

In this 50 hours Yin Yoga training in Bali introduce you to the meridian system and how certain poses can improve the function of different organs in your body. The meridian system according to traditional Chinese Medicine

  • Lungs
  • Large intestine
  • Stomach
  • Spleen
  • Heart
  • Small intestine
  • Urinary bladder
  • Kidney
  • Gall bladder
  • Liver
Yogic Anatomy

In the yogic anatomy classes of our Yin Yoga course in Bali, we delve into the rich and profound concepts that underpin the practice of yoga. Understanding these principles can deepen your practice and provide a holistic view of how yoga influences both the physical and subtle bodies. 

  • Pancha Mahabhut Tatva – the five elements of the universe
  • Nadis – the energy channels
  • Prana – the vital life force
  • Pancha Koshas – the five layers of existence

What Our Customer Say About Us

The classes were rigorously structured, combining traditional and modern understandings of yoga and not just focusing on the asanas. This enabled a deeper understanding of practice and aided in our own personal journey and growth throughout the three weeks.

Our teachers were of the highest standard I have experienced, they really knew their stuff! They allowed time for open and honest conversations. Emotionally they were very supportive, always in contact whenever we needed them. Always with a smile on their faces and getting to understand us as individuals.

All the classes were accessible for all levels, I would highly recommended this yoga school to everyone wishing to broaden their understanding of Yoga in its entirety.

Authentic, humble honest. I did have the best experience here with such safe and comforting teachers. The groups are small the lessons are full with valuable information.

Yoga Philosophy being thought by Sandeep, a native indian who grew up with yoga since he is a child and lives it with his whole heart is such a special, unique and most important authentic and honest experience which is hard to find in any other schools around Bali.

Katharina is also a wonderful devoted teacher and it is nice to see this balance of both it helps to understand.

I wouldn‘t go to any other school and I would love to join many more of Anandam Yoga School courses.

Thank you very much🙏

Anandam yoga school is amazing!!! I learned so much from them. Ankur was an incredible teacher and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of yoga, asanas, pranayama, hatha, vinyasa, etc.

I absolutely loved this authentic yoga teacher training. I wanted to learn yoga from someone who knew the roots of yoga from India and Ankur taught that and more!

I feel like I gained an even deeper love and appreciation for yoga through this experience which I didn’t even know was possible.

They pushed me to be the best that I could be and I will always be grateful for that. The course taught me a lot and I am looking forward to teaching in my community back home!!

I would absolutely recommend Anandam Yoga School. They have a wonderful environment centered on learning and growing!

I just finished my 200h Yoga teacher training with Anandam Yoga School and I couldn't be happier.

It was such a nice and meaningful experience for me. I learned so much about Yoga in these three weeks.Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur are amazing teachers and it felt like a family to spent time with them and the other students. Their knowledge about philosophy, anatomy, asanas and also ayurveda and pranayama and meditation is impressive!

I enjoyed every day of the training so much and I am so thankful I found Anandam Yoga School to do it there.

I would definitely recommend to do the Yoga teacher trainig here and to experience this wonderful journey with Anandam.


Thank you so much Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur🤍

 

200 h yoga teacher training bali

Svenja Kuonen

Switzerland

I chose to take my 200h YTT on Bali with Anandam Yoga School as it was of utmost importance to me to learn about the foundations of Yoga from an Indian guide with a deep connection to the practice & its tradition in India, while having local rooting in Bali.

Sandeep, Katharina & Kadek imparted a well of knowledge about Yoga asana practice as well as anatomy, yoga philosophy, the history of yoga, pranayama, meditation, shatkarma (cleansing rituals), equity, cultural appropriation, and much more, for us students (and future teachers) to build on for a lifetime to come, knowing that we'll be able to honour the roots of Yoga in India as most of us return to share our practice in Western societies.

I am also deeply grateful for the care & support that Katharina & Sandeep provided to us throughout the journey, from travel logistics to a broad variety of recommendations (restaurants, clinics, visa agents, etc.) on anything we might need.

I just finished my 300hr yoga teacher training with them. I am their return student as I also did my 200 hour ytt with them.

The experience with them are pleasant. I’ve learnt a lot from them, from asanas, alignments, philosophy, pranayama, and the Hindu tradition. I’ve grown so much after the training, feeling more confident in teaching yoga.

Ashtanga yoga was demanding and it’s great to have mysore style every morning with Sandeep as an instructor. He would challenge you and push you above your limits.

Arm balancing classes are fun and I have developed so much strength compared to when I first started the training.

Both Katharina and Sandeep have beautiful and kind souls. They are always there for you and back you up whenever you need them.

After 500 ++ hours we spent together we have developed a stronger bond as good friends! I would really recommend them if you are looking for yoga teacher training courses!!

Yes, definitely! It is a beautiful way to deepen your own practice and learn more about the practice of Yin Yoga.
