Learn the 'why' behind a Yin Yoga Sequence
This online Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course dives deeply into how a yin yoga sequence is put together, and gives you a comprehensive understanding of the 'why'. You'll experience six full-length Yin Yoga practises followed by the detailed posture breakdowns, where together we will go through each posture from each sequence, discussing the target areas and improving your anatomy knowledge for teaching Yin Yoga.
Course Overview:
What is Yin?
What Is Yang?
This Yin Practise is an embodied exploration of what is Yin and what is Yang in the body.
It starts with some gentle flow like movements, before moving into longer holds of classic yin shapes.
Fluidity
In The Body
This practise is an exploration of the movements of the spine, but also conceptually there are ideas of how the body can be more 'fluid' than 'matter' and we will explore those ideas together.
Non-Linear
Body
We are actually much more consistent with the organic shapes of spirals, circles and spheres. This Yin Practise is an exploration of these non-linear shapes inside the body, exploring the concept of how circular or how round we are compared to being straight lines.
Inspiration
Pratyahara
This practise is inspired by Pratyahara, an idea from Indian philosophy about drawing ourselves away from external distraction and exploring more of the inner world inside, inviting us to come back to our centre and replenish our Qi.
Journey Through The Meridians
The intention of this practise is to help you embody the pathways of these meridians, and talk you through the map of where they run in to body, as well as giving you time to breathe and feel the sensations of qi moving through you.
Leaning Into
Support
This is a Yin Yoga practise utilising the support and benefit of the wall. A great alternative when we dont have access to lots of props. Many of these yin yoga postures can feel very different, and somewhat new when we use the wall for support.
