Training Description

Holy Yoga Yin I is a beautiful introduction to Yin Yoga. This four-session training is for practitioners and instructors who want to include Yin in their practice and incorporate Yin postures into various yoga and fitness offerings. Topics include but are not limited to: the history of Yin, yin and yang, benefits, the postures, Yin pranayama, Yin as a spiritual discipline, and the psychology of change and transformation to enable students to embrace the holistic transformation God initiates through a Yin practice.

As a contemplative spiritual discipline integrating the heart, mind, soul and body, Yin is ultimately approached as a practice that can greatly strengthen one’s relationship with God and promote holistic wellness. Yin Yoga is a passive practice, with postures held for extended periods of time to strengthen the deep connective tissue throughout the body. The focus is less on flexibility than stability, as well as release, meditation and regulation of the flow of energy. As a result, consistent practice increases the integrity of the entire body when it returns to activity—whether functional or athletic. While the practice is not strenuous, it can be incredibly challenging as holding particular positions can grow increasingly uncomfortable. Rather than defaulting to our patterns of flight or fight, we practice staying at our edge and breathing through the difficult moments, inviting grace, ease, and ultimately transformation.

Yin 1 is an on-demand, 20-hour training that includes prerecorded video teachings, reading assignments, and a teaching practicum.

Yin 1 qualifies for 20 hours continuing education for Holy Yoga and Yoga Alliance non-contact.
