Yin Yoga Training - 33 hours
Learn the theory and wonderful practice of Yin Yoga, including Functional Anatomy and how to teach Yin Yoga. This is a certified course with Yoga Prema School of Yoga.
What you will learn:
Module 1: The Basics of Yin Yoga & Functional Anatomy
Course contents:
Yin Yoga essentials and training theory, target areas, tension, compression, Yin and Yang as a complementary practice, introduction to functional teaching, skeletal variations of the pelvis, rebound, hands-on and analysis of flexion of the femur in asanas: caterpillar, dragonfly, butterfly, dragon; asana analysis: saddle, swan, frog, skeletal segments, 3 layers of a joint & joint regeneration, functional anatomy of the thigh and hip joints, orientation of the pelvis as a decisive factor in asanas, thigh mandala, what is torsion, movements of the hips and their effect on other joints, assisted Yin, Yin Yoga & Mindfulness Practice, Music and Silence in a Yin Yoga Class.
Shakti & Maheshwara's Yin Yoga teacher trainings are based on the anatomical principles of Paul and Suzee Grilley, the founders of modern Yoga's Yin Yoga Practice. The training will provide you with the foundations of Yin Yoga and in addition we will explore different areas of practice, deepening your understanding of this mindful asana-practice as well as yoga-philosophy in general. The tissues in our body need appropriate exercise in order to stay healthy, grow and heal. The law of our body is: use it or lose it.
Yin Yoga originated in the US and was founded by Paul Grilley. It is a soft and slow asana practice without any correct or exact form. While the connective tissue, fascia and soft tissues of the joints are “trained“ in a specific way, our muscles remain relaxed. The postures are held without any effort or strain. Yin Yoga has has a strengthening and regenerative effect on the tissues while the entire system enjoys deep states of relaxation. Physical restrictions disappear and energy flows.
This course will give you a whole new understanding about the importance of an individual approach to asana practice. The training will infuse your practice (and teaching if you are a yoga teacher) with new enthusiasm as you will be able to recognize the anatomical differences in your students and provide them with appropriate individual guidance.
Yin Yoga Certification
Upon successful completion of the course you will receive a Yin Yoga teacher certificate for 33 hours of training completed. If you are not already a 200 hour registered Yoga teacher, you will receive a certificate of attendance.

Testimonials - What previous participants say...
Testimonials
"This course was a really great experience. It was very well taught and done with humour and professionalism. The course has helped me open up to my own regular practice of yoga even more" - Christopher S., Bristol
"Thank you both so much for your time, humour and energy. Over the last 3 years I have attended quite a few workshops, classes and trainings and it was by far the most enjoyable! I can’t recommend this course highly enough! Both Shakti and Maheshwara have so much passion and understanding of yoga (not only Yin) which they share so generously. I always find anatomy fascinating but often difficult to understand but Maheshwara has such a wonderfully, cheerful presentation style that it just seems to make sense. I learnt so much - about myself, the difference in bodies and the traditions of yoga. Thank you so so much, I can’t wait for the next instalment!!“ - Victoria
"Shakti and Maheshwara are wonderful teachers with so much wisdom and joy to share in the way they teach. The course was structured very well and I felt I left with so much understanding and experience that I am already feeling the benefits from and inspired to share with others. I am definitely interested to take my studies further with you and with my own personal practise.
Thank you for your love, care, detail and inspiration." Emma B., London
"I cannot recommend the Yin Yoga Instructors training course (level1) highly enough. Shakti and Mahaswara are great teachers, their unique ability to motivate and share their extensive yoga knowledge with a dose of humour made their training fun and rewarding. They both have a gift of making everyone feel at ease and are full of positive energy for you to learn. This was a wonderful course and has inspired me to teach the beautiful practice Yin Yoga, thank you both so every much.“ - Kate B., Bristol UK
