Anatomy
We’ll look into the specific areas of the body in more detail, how they move and respond to the Yin poses.
Teaching the poses
Our focus is very much on teaching the practice in a way that is inclusive and safe for everyone making this a nurturing and healing practice, a way to connect and go deep inside; a way to truly relax and rejuvenate.For each pose we will cover:
- How to teach yin yoga poses
- How to use props
- Modifications for each pose
Sequencing & class planning
- Sequences for specific meridians, for specific yoga poses (eg for backbends, opening the hips, twists, forward bends), and a general all round class
- How to plan a class, when and how much to talk, what to talk about and themes.
Contraindications and modifications
How to develop your classes for conditions such as pregnancy, injuries and hyper-mobility, making the practice accessible for individual bodies

Homework
We use the term Homework loosely here, there is a requirement of 18 hours of learning outside of the course, some will be written but mostly to establish a Yin Yoga Practice (students have said that this is their favourite ever homework!) and to read a book (you’ll get several options) and write down your thoughts and questions.
No exams
There won’t be any exams. Rather, we are interested in seeing that you have gained an understanding and knowledge that you can apply to each individual student depending on their needs. This course is intended to spark your interest in embarking on or continuing this fascinating journey.
This course won’t be recorded
(Here’s why)
….but if you miss sessions and want to catch up, you have two options for the Yin Yoga online course:
1) Repeat with another group
If you missed one day or less:
You can wait until the next course and re-join us for free.
If you missed more than one day
You can join for an admin fee of £50.
Included in this price: the full course, which means you can choose if you want to join for just the sessions you missed – or repeat the other sessions as well.
2) Buy access to a recording
…or you can buy access to our recorded video library and catch up straight away or whenever works best for you: you’ll get one year access for just £50

Who can join?
We recommend that you have done a 200 hour teacher training (any style) but this is not mandatory! If you haven’t: no worries, just let us know and we will look into what other experiences you have and we’ll give you extra support during the course.
The intention is to give you, as a teacher, more tools; to broaden your teaching skills as well as your target groups. Perhaps you have done a training in a dynamic yoga style and would like to add a slow style to your teaching menu as well – to be able to teach back to back classes at studios and retreats?
