Join our Yin Yoga teacher training in Canada and learn more about this meditative Yoga style. This 50 h Yin Yoga program is intended to provide you with a thorough knowledge of Yin Yoga to help you uncover the fundamental principles of this passive Yoga style. This will allow you to share this potent practice with your students.
Yin yoga is based on Daoist Yoga and blends old Indian customs with the Chinese meridian system.
The Founder of Yin yoga, Paul Grilley took inspiration from Paulie Zink’s grace and fluidity in his movements. Paulie Zink taught Daoist yoga and Kung-fu, which involved holding positions for extended periods of time.
Yin Yoga is a potent, calm, and subtle style of yoga that has a deeper effect on ligaments, joints and fascia. This style of yoga combines deep opening and passive asanas, pranayama, and meditation. The postures are primarily performed on the floor and held for extended periods of time which has a significantly deeper effect on the tissues and energy flow due to its longer pose-hold times. While the asanas of Yin Yoga are based on Indian Hatha Yoga, they are practiced in a different way.
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.
We offer a place where you can find happiness through movement, pranayama, meditation and well-
balanced nutrition. We are here to guide you on your spiritual journey, to connect with your Inner-Self
and to find contentment and peace in life.
