200 HOUR YIN YOGA & ANATOMY TEACHER TRAINING COURSE
This training is suitable for experienced and aspiring yoga teachers and students alike who wish to enhance their knowledge of yin yoga – the quiet practice – and discover the anatomical and energetic theories of yin yoga for their own personal practice and/or with the intention to teach.
Welcome to
Yin Yoga and Anatomy – the quiet practice
"In the quietude lies the power and out of the quietude arises the power." (Confucius)
Yin yoga – the quiet practice – turns our attention inwards, to connect to the true essence of ourselves.
We practise yin yoga meditatively, using long-held poses without muscle tension, which strengthen and flex our connective, fascial and ligament tissues, mobilise our joints, and stimulate and soothe the nervous system. As a result, the exercises we do have a stress-reducing and regenerative effect.
We learn how to accumulate the subtle energy flow (chi flow) and to feel the enhanced energy flow in our meridians after completing a yoga practice. This practice nourishes us from our core, with a blend of awareness, calmness and relaxation.
In the fast-paced world of the 21st century, yin yoga offers the perfect balance for teachers and students alike.
Yin and Yang
"The noble man strives for harmony and not equality. The little man strives for equality and not for harmony." (Confucius)
Our world is comprised of yin and yang. We find polarity in our language, in our environment, in everything and everyone. This polarity and contrast blend seamlessly, as epitomised by the yin and yang symbol.
In the West, we practise mainly yang forms of yoga (Ashtanga, Bikram, Vinyasa Flow, etc.) muscle strengthening and muscle tension through rhythmic, flowing and repetitive movements, and this complements our fast-moving mentality and learned values.
Yang needs yin in order to exist, and yin needs yang in order to exist. When both sides are aligned, balance and harmony are achieved.
Yin yoga complements every form of yang yoga. While we cannot say that one is better or worse than the other, we can say that both belong together intrinsically, creating harmony between body, mind and soul.
