Yin Yoga Teacher Training Level 2

Yin Yoga is a practice of acceptance. To create and hold a safe space for peaceful acceptance is the privilege of the Yin teacher.

In this 50 hour training, we'll look at ways we can best support our students in their own journeys as we explore creative and collaborative approaches to teaching and learning through inquiries and explorations of the following themes:
• The practice of holding space
• Body and energy literacy: deepening our range of perception, learning to follow our inner teacher, and supporting others to do the same;
• Embodiment: grounding our teaching in our body
• Collaboration and Community: encouraging mutual support and peer learning, taking our practice into the world;
• Self-Realization and Creativity: exploring and developing our unique strengths and style as teachers;
• Personal Growth and Mindfulness: identifying and addressing our blind spots and 'growing edges' as teachers;
• The use of story, poetry and metaphors to invite a deeper somatic experience
The level 2 training is optional and is considered an advanced training. This training is designed for experienced yin yoga teachers and those who have previously studied Yin Yoga with Biff.

Level two training consists of approximately:
9.5 hours of Teacher training/practice
10.5 hours of Teaching methodology
6 hours of anatomy/physiology
7 hours of Yoga philosophy/lifestyle & ethics
3 hours of practicum

Total 36 contact hours. Students are then required to do a minimum of 14 hours of independent study
Those who have completed the training and their independent study will receive a certificate of completion for 50 hours of Yin Yoga Teacher Training.

Graduates of Nosara Yoga Institutes 200 hour certification will receive a certificate signed by Don Stapleton and Biff Mithoefer and will count towards 500 or 1000 hour certification with Nosara Yoga Institute.
