Yin Yoga Teacher Training: The Big Picture of a Quiet Practice (25 Contact Hours)

Including:

*5 Principles of Yin/Yang
*7 Yin/Yoga Archetypes
*3 Phases of the Yin Asana Cycle

This 25-hour course will be heavy on the experiential. It will include many deep stretching Yin Yoga practices that focus on the spine and hips. This deep stretch reaches into the joints and offers great relief from discomfort in and around these areas. Long periods of time in stillness and quiet will also offer great relief from mental and emotional stress. After each practice, you will feel lighter and more relaxed with all your daily movements... and within your relationships.

Within these practices and sometimes in lectures, slide presentations, pair and group work, we will discuss the fundamentals of Yin Yoga. The birth of the practice and its development into a global Teacher Training program by my teacher Paul Grilley. At the center of that program are the 7 Yin/Yang archetypal postures and an exploration of the many, many variations. Over our time together will move our bodies through each of the archetypes, each of us finding our unique shape, unique sensations, and unique needs. The archetype/variation model of yoga training is a path for each individual to find their own unique way and meet their own unique physical and emotional needs.

I will also present the 3 Phases of the Yin Cycle, which is a model I developed to help the Yin teacher guide the flow of the deep stretching, quiet recovery, meditation, return to gentle mobilization, and back to deep stillness again, and again.

In our time, we will also honor the roots of yoga and Taoism by talking about how our efforts and experiences in Yin Yoga can be enhanced with some understanding of the philosophies and practices of the ancient Indian Yogis and Chinese Taoists.

Show up for deep learning and deep resting.

We hope to practice with you.

Next Level Series: Yin Yoga, Chakra Meditation & The Rebound (20 Hours)

Including:

Functional Anatomy of Yin
Energetic Anatomy: Chakras & The Spine
Three Body Theory: The art of becoming subtle
Technique: Breath, Visualization, Mantra
Philosophy: 5 Principles of Yin/Yang & Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras

In this Next Level Yin training, we will primarily focus on the subtleties: the quiet, the stillness, the surrender, and most importantly the wide open practice at the end of each yin pose and at the end of each chakra meditation called the rebound when we recline, reflect and deeply restore.

This practice will include lots of Yin Yoga practice to open and release stress from the hips for ease and comfort in sitting, and from the spine for ease and comfort throughout the curvatures when upright.

We will also integrate meditations for drawing one's consciousness and energy into and up through the physical and astral spines, climbing through the experiences held within the different chakras as we climb. We will explore techniques and experiments to find and serve individual needs. We will also communicate and connect with a community of yogis who are each seeking their own way.

While this course leans heavily into experience and practice, I will also offer some presentations, and discussions around our personal discoveries as well as the reading materials which will be supplied.

We will be using my teacher’s book on meditation: A Yogi’s Guide to Meditation which can be bought online or at a discounted price through Yoga University. I spent a year working closely with Paul to copy-edit this tiny book to help make the material as easy to digest as it is inspiring. The book will be a great companion after this course for easy reference to the mental and emotional techniques of Chakra meditation.

I hope you will join us in looking deeply inside and resting thoroughly.
