Yin is the perfect compliment to our busy lifestyles, allowing the body and mind to find a slower pace and the deep inner stillness we each innately crave. Although you may be familiar with the look of many of Yin Yoga poses, we approach them in a very different way. Holding the postures longer, typically from two to five minutes, allows the relaxation response to kick in, and the muscles to release so we can get into the deeper tissues: ligaments, tendons, fascia, and even the bones. Experience a slower, more meditative practice and feel a balance of your yin and yang energies. Yin Yoga is suitable for most bodies, including those with injuries and limited mobility.
Discover how to teach it yourself, and offer this quiet, insightful practice to others! Our 50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training runs for two full weekends. Please see below for information on the curriculum, dates, and tuition fees.
Due to the adaptations we've made over the past three years, our February 2023 Training is offered fully online, or in-person (depending on the student's situation or it could be a combination). We will have a limited amount of space in-studio if that is your preferred option.
The course is presented by experienced Yin Yoga teachers from the Orangeville area, led by head instructor, Laurin Wolf. All contact hours will be completed with this instructor, comprised of live sessions and some pre-recorded content.
