Yin yoga is a way to unwind and relax very deeply. It is a style of yoga that can be taught as a specific class or as a delicious way to end a dynamic flowing class. Yin practice can also provide a valuable preparation for the more subtle arts of pranayama and meditation.
This course consists of two days live (either in person or live streamed) plus five hours of on demand recorded material available for 6 months to consolidate learning. The course can be attended as a stand-alone Yoga Alliance accredited course or as an optional module on our 300-hour programme.
The environment created by Melanie Cooper on this course, is non-dogmatic and non-judgemental. It provides time for you to step into the yin place of receiving and nurturing.
Course Overview
On this course, you will learn how to teach yin yoga in a way that is inclusive and safe for everyone. Many students find this slower type of practice is a gateway into their inner world, helping them to connect and go deep inside so they can truly rejuvenate though the practice of yin.
Adding this training to your skills set can help you expand your horizons as a teacher and for many teaching yin offers a positive change from teaching faster more yang based energetic classes. The course will cover a wide range of topics from sequencing to anatomy and fascia and meridians.

How to give assists based on acupressure and thai yoga massage
The theory and practice of sequencing
how to practice and teach yin poses
how to plan a yin-based class
how to use props effectively
the theory and science behind the practice
support in finding your own unique teaching style
how to adapt the practice for different body types and personalities
The course will cover a practical exploration of yin poses, including how to teach, how to modify for different body types and how to give assists based on acupressure and Thai Yoga Massage
