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.

Looking at a typical yoga magazine, you might think that yoga is only for people with a certain shape and frame. At Holy Yoga, we believe that every body is welcome in God’s kingdom and on the yoga mat.
Holy Yoga Plus was created to hold a comfortable and unrestricted place for the plus-size person to experience yoga. Our purpose is to make a yoga practice an option for people who never thought it could be. It is our hope that Holy Yoga Plus will create a positive atmosphere for people of all shapes and sizes to practice yoga.
This training occurs as a 4-week home study program, which includes weekly webinar meetings, instructional videos, individual journaling, practice with the material presented, required reading, community participation and a student teaching practicum.
Learning how to teach Holy Yoga to plus-sized students has opened my eyes to the unique needs of these students, but it has also taught me to use a more sensitive approach with all my students. This training will bless you.

Strength is important. It allows us to perform all the activities we love for the rest of our lives. But strength involves more than our muscles – in Christ, our minds and spirits are strengthened as well. If God is inviting you into this program, He wants to teach you what it means to be strong from the inside out, and teach others to be as well. By focusing on our core, we can access not only the muscles that support our bodies but the wisdom that is available to us through the Holy Spirit. This on-demand program combines yoga poses and Pilates movements for an amazing core strengthening experience. Studying the practice founded by Joseph Pilates, we look at how to incorporate these movements and exercises into a yoga/Pilates fusion class that will strengthen the body’s core even as we direct our hearts towards worship of our Lord. This training qualifies for 20 ce hours for Holy Yoga and Yoga Alliance non contact.

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 seven hours of at-home video instruction and a teaching practicum. In addition, students attend a 8-hour hands-on and in-person workshop where you will have the opportunity to observe and practice both safe touch and assists.
This training qualifies for 7 hours non contact and 8 hours contact hours continuing education with Holy Yoga and Yoga Alliance.

In God’s infinite wisdom and creativity, He created a woman’s body to grow and nurture life. During pregnancy, delivery, and life postpartum, a woman’s body endures numerous changes — both physically and emotionally. Yoga can support these changes in ways that prepare women for the birth of their baby and can support them throughout the early days of motherhood. However, practicing yoga during pregnancy, and even after, requires accommodations that honor the integrity and limitations of the female body. Whether you have a heart for serving mothers, are a yoga instructor curious about how to help expecting women in your classes, or are looking to better your own practice during pregnancy, Holy Yoga’s 20-hour, on-demand Pre/Postnatal Training equips you with tools for navigating the delicate stages of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood with functional movement, spiritual guidance, and emotional support.
This Pre/Postnatal program is an on-demand, 20-hour training that includes prerecorded video teachings, reading assignments, and a teaching practicum.
