Service Description

YIN YOGA (50HR) This 50-hour intensive programme was created for certified and aspiring yoga teachers as well as dedicated yoga students who simply wish to delve more into the world of yin yoga for their own practice. We cover 36 contact hours over the 4 days, the remaining 14 hours are covered through some homework assignments and then predominantly through assisting and teaching SEVA classes, a unique approach that we have developed to give students real life teaching experience. We live in a fast paced, yang dominated world where the epitomy if this pace is the dominance of stress and anxiety in our lives, essentially creating imbalance. Even many yoga practices which are in essence designed to bring us back into balance tend to be yang focused. Yin is the medicine required to help return our balance resulting in a more calm, centred and focused state of being. Our Yin Yoga Teacher Training program will give you the knowledge and skills to confidentially teach yin yoga with a deep understanding for anatomical variation which will benefit your own practice as well as the teaching of not only yin yoga, but all forms of yoga, dance, sport and bodywork. Some of the subjects we cover over the course: • History and roots of yin and Taoism • Individuality of anatomy • Yin tissue and yin techniques • TCM/meridians • Non-duality and the yin energy • Yin postures, how to prop and sequencing Contact hour days run from 9:00am – 5:00pm with a one hour lunch break. These days include a number of lectures, classes and practical work and play. The remaining non-contact hours are completed at the students personal pace with assistance from Summer Healing to implement SEVA and assisting classes.
