Teacher trainings in English

Jennie Wadsten Sharma
Take your Yin Yoga teaching to the next level and attract more students to your classes. Open to all Yin Yoga teachers, this Level 2 course gives you evidence-based tools and techniques, including the latest in neuroscience and myofascial release, to create unique classes.
The course consists of two modules, which can be taken separately or together. By completing both, you’ll get a Yoga Alliance certificate.
Do you want to bring something new to your teaching? You'll LOVE it!
You will receive:
- Plenty of time to reconnect with your own practice, and to recharge if you’re feeling drained.
- The support and guidance of two experienced, kind and fun yoga teachers
- There won't be any teaching practice in this course, just group discussions in breakout rooms to brainstorm ideas - so nothing to perform.
- On completion of both modules you will receive a diploma, Yoga Alliance 26 hrs (RYS 300 & YACEP). You can either use the hours towards a 500 hour certification with Yoga Treat & The Shala, or as Continuing Education hours (YACEP)
Who can join?
This course is open to anyone who has completed a Yin Yoga Level 1 training.
Language
The theory is in English – but breakout rooms will be available in both English and Swedish.
Module 1
Yin Yoga & Neuroscience (14 hrs)
Curious about neuroscience but unsure where to start and how to use it in your Yin Yoga classes?
This course is designed to make neuroscience approachable and relevant to both your teaching and practice. We’ll break down key concepts into simple, practical insights, focusing on what truly matters. You’ll learn how to teach and apply neuroscience in a way that’s both accessible and inspiring!
Why neuroscience?
Much of our focus in yoga is on stretching and strengthening muscles and fascia (lower-order systems) – but it’s our brain and nervous system (higher-order systems) that control movement and overall function. By working directly with the brain and nervous system, we can create powerful shifts—often more quickly than expected.
This work is exciting to explore, and it can also reignite your passion as a teacher, offering your students fresh, transformative experiences.
Module 2
Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release (12 hrs)
Easy and Effective Myofascial Release
Day 1 (full day) and day 2 (morning)
In module 1 we explored Neuroscience. Another way we can create meaningful shifts in how we move and feel is through Myofascial Release. This course (module 2) takes a hands-on approach to exploring and applying these techniques in both your own practice and your teaching.
Using simple tools like tennis balls, you’ll learn accessible and effective ways to ease tension, reduce discomfort and reconnect with the body. You’ll also discover how to weave these methods gently into your Yin Yoga classes, creating a deeper and more nourishing experience for both you and your students.
We’ll take a look at how all of this connects with the Anatomy Trains lines, to get a clearer sense of how fascia, movement and awareness work together.
Creative Use of Yoga Belts
Day 2 (afternoon)
Making Yin yoga feel accessible and comfortable for everyone can sometimes be a bit of a puzzle, especially when you only have a few props to work with. In this session we’ll explore what you can do with just a yoga strap. There are so many simple and surprisingly effective ways to use it, both in your own practice and when you’re teaching. We often think of belts for traction, as in going deeper in a pose, but they can be just as helpful for support, making it great for hyper mobile students too. In this course you’ll learn both!

We (Melanie and Jennie) have been working together since 2008, with a combined teaching experience of over 45 years. One thing we’ve consistently found is the importance of being authentic—discovering “your voice” as a teacher and having the courage to fully embrace who you are in your teaching.
Being a yoga teacher is incredibly wonderful, but it can also be energy-intensive and even draining if you’re not staying true to yourself or prioritising your own well-being. It’s all too easy to overlook self-care, so during this training, we’ll focus not only on refining your teaching but also on creating space for your own practice.
Questions? Just send us email and we’re happy to help.
Much Love,
Jennie & Melanie
