50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training Immersion One

50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training Immersion One

Yin yoga is a practice of patience and stillness, which offers us the opportunity to work deeply into the body's connective tissues and energy lines while bringing awareness to the mind's fluctuations. By holding the postures for long periods, we experience the effects of slow and mindful movement. These long holds give us a chance to slow down and listen to our body's natural intelligence.

Yin Yoga is rooted in the ancient systems of Hatha Yoga and merged with the Traditional Chinese Medicine system of Meridian lines. This synergy allows the practitioner to draw upon the healing properties of both a physical and energetic practice.  

This training will gain a comprehensive and well-rounded understanding of the energetic body and its pathways and how these energy lines influence our tissues, organs, mental and emotional states. To support the transformational qualities of the Yin practice, we will focus on Meditation techniques, Pranayama, and Yoga Nidra, as well as skilful sequencing, alignment and modifications to suit different body types and injuries. You will have simple techniques and practical tools to build on your teaching and practice.

Join Donald Shakes and guest teachers over three weekends; with many years of experience and knowledge to share and a passion for teaching, you will learn the fundamentals and principles of Yin through hands-on practice and education.
