​ABOUT YIN YOGA

Picture

Yin Yoga uses gentle long held postures practiced with an attitude of compassionate acceptance to awaken the more Yin parts of our physical, emotional and spiritual selves.

By promoting the flow of energy (Qi) through the energy channels (meridians) of our deep Yin core we can help bring health to our bodies and balance to our busy Yang style lives.
​
In our Yin Yoga workshops and trainings participants learn the theory and practice of Yin Yoga while gaining a basic understanding of the Chinese meridian system and it’s relationship to the practice. We look at how our basic anatomical differences ultimately effect our yoga postures, helping us to bring a sense of self acceptance. We balance the Yin practices with more Yang style practices based on Hatha and Taoist tradition.
The Tibetan word Jamtse means kindness. It is the name His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave our project for the support of Tibetan refugee children. The word is made up of the words care and love, and for us represents not only the heart of His Holiness’s teaching, but the central message of Yin Yoga itself.    ​

200 HOUR YIN YOGA CERTIFICATION

As of 2018, we are offering a 200 hour Jamtse School, Yin Yoga Teacher certificate.
This is not a license or permission to teach, but a certificate saying that a person has completed 200 hours of our trainings. In order to receive a certificate, one must have attended all three modules, and repeat one module of their choice. If a student has no previous training in anatomy, we recommend that they repeat the first module, otherwise it is up to the student to choose which module they wish to repeat.
