YIN YOGA LEVEL 1 COURSE
Teacher trainings in English
Melanie Cooper
Jennie Wadsten Sharma
This is so much more than just a course.
- Get personal support before, during and after the training.
- Flexible setup: choose to complete the 4-day training in one go, or split it into 2 days at a time, whichever suits your schedule.
- Learn from two teachers with over 50 years of combined experience
- Benefit from nearly 20 years of us teaching and working together, fine-tuning the content in all our courses, and always continuing to study to ourselves, to make sure we can always give you the latest research.
Our Yin Yoga Teacher Training covers Yin poses, sequences and how to structure a class, along with the theory behind why Yin Yoga works the way it does. You’ll learn about anatomy, fascia and meridians in an interactive and inspiring way. Beyond the technique itself, you’ll also explore how to find your own voice as a teacher.
There’ll also be a focus on your own practice of Yin yoga: bringing good quality rest into your everyday life in a way that feels fun and motivating instead of another thing to tick off your to-do-list.
The training is approved by Yoga Alliance and gives you a certificate as a Certified Yin Yoga Teacher, which you can use both in the UK, Sweden and internationally.
Price: £250 - £500. For more information, please click on the pictures with course dates below.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course. Everything has been so well explained, and no question was too trivial or unimportant.”

We will cover
- Fascia
- Meridians and the energy system
- Updated research, the different aspects of yin yoga and how it is applicable to different body types and how personalities, and how movement patterns plays an important part.
We’ll look into the specific areas of the body in more detail, how they move and respond to the Yin 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
- 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.
Course material
As part of the course you get two full colour manuals included in the price: one on the theory and one giving details on the poses. We will send you the manuals as pdf:s a couple of days before the course starts. Please click here if you’d like to buy the course manual as a hardcopy.

Melanie will teach most of the sessions, and Jennie will give all the participants individual support throughout the whole course: answering questions during theory sessions, and handling inspiring breakout room discussions (in English and Swedish).
Who can join?
We recommend that you have done a 200 hour yoga 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 who you can teach. 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?
Certificate
On completing the course, you’ll receive a 40-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Certificate
Information for Yoga Teachers:
- YACEP: you can use these 40 hours toward your Continuing Education requirements with Yoga Alliance.
- or you can use the hours towards your 300 hour teacher training with The Shala London (Level 2, RYT-500 Yoga Alliance)
“I loved every minute of this courses and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to teach Yin or just wanting to learn more about the practice. Jennie and Melanie have so much knowledge to share and they do it in such an accessible and supportive way. I came away feeling confident, inspired and very excited to start teaching Yin!”
