Description:
Guiding someone to stillness is a skill, something that takes
compassion, patience and the ability to hold space; the ability to
allow discomfort to be ok in order for there to be acceptance in
the present moment. Teaching yin yoga requires this skill of
guiding people to stillness and during this training you will
receive inspiring, practical techniques to deepen your own
understanding of the practice and your experience with it. From a
more in-depth, personal understanding, you will feel confident to
integrate the teachings learned into class sequencing and delivery,
you will feel confident to help others find stillness.
Curriculum:
• Benefits of yin
• Target areas of postures
• Meridian line and chakra associations within each target
area
• Skeletal differences-how that effects the student doing yin
• Focus on anatomy, learning about fascia, ligaments, tendons and
joints and the theory of exercise specifically required for these
tissues.
• Pranayama and meditation techniques to tap into your own subtle
energy body
• Yin class design
• Incorporating yin and yang sequences
Learning Outcomes:
• Ability to analyze the body’s functionally and understanding that
the postures are a means to target certain areas of the body.
• You will learn how changing the orientation of the pose can bring
freedom to someone who can’t do a posture a certain way; i.e.
seated, wall, reclined, & standing variations.
• Learn and develop chakra meditation techniques that focus on
deepening self-connection and awareness.
• You will broaden your understanding of how one’s past or current
day experiences can affect them emotionally & mentally and how
re-creating a physical connection is a step towards healing.
• You will learn the difference between compression and tension in
a yoga posture and what you should do for your student when this
arises
• You will learn the 12 fascial lines of the body and how to apply
this knowledge to movement
• You will be introduced to the energetics of the meridian lines
and chakra systems that are involved and worked during a yin
practice and how the postures, meditation techniques and breath
work can stimulate these systems.
• Time will be spent practice teaching to ensure a certain level of
comfortability before teaching public classes. Assisted yin
sequence will be shared so that one-on-one sessions or personal
assists in classes are readily available.
When we turn inwards and ask this of others, a certain level of
humility and compassion is attained. This training challenges us to
embrace humility and seek compassion towards ourselves and
others.
