Program
Yin yoga postures will be studied and practised in detail, taking into consideration modifications, contraindications and of course the benefits of each of the postures. By the end of this training, you will be able to structure your Yin yoga sequences and be able to provide a balanced and complete Yin yoga class.
There will be daily pranayama and meditation sessions where you can learn to develop consistency in the yogic breathing techniques and focus the mind. You will go through the definition of meditation from a yoga philosophy standpoint and you will also study and practise various techniques of concentration/meditation so that you can learn how to guide a meditation session.
In this training, you will be introduced briefly to the foundation of Hatha yoga so that you have a clear understanding that Yin yoga is not a separate practice, but a complementary practice of Hatha yoga.
