50-HOURS OF ART OF YIN YOGA - INCLUDING MERIDIANS,
YIN YOGA TTC OVERVIEW
In these training courses, you’ll study the principles, anatomy, and how to practice and teach Yin Yoga. I expected students to dedicate the dates to study and commitment. These courses are for Yin Yoga lovers, no matter if you are a beginner or advanced practitioner, or yoga teacher.
​
Many yoga teachers are confused when they offer Yin Yoga courses and the majority deliver the class as restorative yoga. In these courses, you will learn that what we practice is important but how we practice it is even more important. In Yin Yoga, we position our body in a particular pose and then let go of all muscular efforts and surrender to the floor for gravity to do the work. By doing so, we relax our muscles and apply moderate stress to the deepest layers of connective tissues of the body -tendons, fascia, and ligaments- improving the health and mobility of joints.
​
The 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course provides all the tools, resources, and knowledge you need to deepen your practice and start teaching Yin Yoga to others. The functional approach of the course -based on skeletal variations and the uniqueness of every and each practitioner- provides a renewed perspective of the yoga asanas.
If you love the benefits of the Yin Yoga practice in your body and mind and are ready to take it to the next level, this is the perfect start for you!
