Training Description

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.

In this nine week, 60-hour training, you will learn about meridian theory and organ health, prescriptive postures, yang counter poses, pain and pain management, special populations and sequencing.

Each week will consist of a 2-hour live class and includes additional home study, reading assignments, at-home video instruction, and a teaching practicum.

Training Description

Every follower of Christ is called to lead.

Your circle of influence may be leading a Bible study, raising a family, or running a business. Godly leadership is essential to keeping Christ at the center of your life as well as inspiring and teaching others to become Kingdom leaders in their own right.

In order to be a great leader, you need to move towards the fracture, not away from it. The problem is that your skills need refining – you need the right tools. This leaves you doubting your ability to effectively lead people to God’s greatness. At Holy Yoga, we cultivate leaders that use the strength Christ gives their souls. We understand that vulnerability is hard, but you are not alone. That’s why we’ve created Ignite Leadership Training. And we’re going to equip you with the tools to be an impactful leader with a personal mission statement and the courage to be the light for others!

Ignite is a nine week, 60-hour leadership training consisting of weekly two-hour live classes, weekly one-hour small group discussion, and homework. For course content and topics, please see the outline below.

We all fall on a spectrum of comfort with touch. Healthy touch is somewhere in the middle, though many of us fall on one end or the other due to a negative experience of touch either being withheld or used inappropriately. In the Holy Yoga Touch Training, we look at the implications of our experience with touch and what God designed it to be. This class is not just about assists in your classes or massaging your students, it also addresses the psychology of touch and how it can be applied mindfully and with grace.

This program requires six hours of at-home video instruction and a teaching practicum. In addition, students attend a 9-hour hands-on and in-person workshop where you will have the opportunity to observe and practice both safe touch and assists.
