This 4 day (all-levels) immersion training offers a thorough introduction to the principles, practice and effects of Yin Yoga on one’s physical, energetic, and emotional bodies.
Yin Yoga uses long-held postures that access the deeper, more yin parts of ourselves; activating the connective tissue and fascia, while inviting us emotionally to embrace what has true heart and meaning in our lives through insight and practice.
Teaching techniques will be developed and explored as we practice teaching and leading each other through postures, cultivating verbal cueing, use of silence and basic anatomy, incorporating poetry, stories and music as desired, and supporting each other in building our confidence and fluidity as Yin Yoga instructors. Additionally we will learn ways to incorporate yin postures and philosophy into any yoga teaching or practice — how do we cultivate the Yin attitude in more dynamic movement or postures?
We will also explore how touch, and the practice of Thai Yoga Massage specifically can compliment and serve to support the deep listening and feeling invited by the somatic meditation of Yin Yoga.
Guided by Eric Archer and Diana Brenes Seiler, LMT with special guest teacher Biff Mithoefer joining via Zoom.
