Easy and Effective Myofascial Release
(9 hours)
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.
Minimal Props: Creative Use of Yoga Belts
(3 hours)
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!

Teachers
Melanie Cooper (UK) Read more about Melanie here
Jennie Wadsten Sharma (Sweden/India) Read more about Jennie here
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.
