We will spend the weekend exploring the many postures of yin yoga, the physical, mental and energetic benefits of this style of practice, and the anatomy necessary to understand how different bodies create different shapes. We will look more closely at Paul Grilley's "Functional Approach to Yoga" and how it works with the teachings of yin and yang asana.

The weekend is open to any current and aspiring yoga teachers, as well as enthusiastic students who wish to spend the weekend immersed in all things Yin. You’ll leave this weekend with the foundation and ability to guide yourself and your students safely and effectively into a wide variety of yin poses.

This course qualifies for 15 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance for registered yoga teachers.

I'm so excited to return for my third training weekend at Brick City Yoga!

We’ll focus on:

The history and philosophy of yin yoga
The main poses of yin yoga
The Functional Approach to Yoga
Skeletal variation and how it affects the shape of the pose
Anatomy review to support the Functional Approach
Understanding connective tissue and fascia
Stressing tissues through compression and tension
Target areas of the poses
Modifications and prop use
Chinese Meridian theory as it relates to yin
How to build a class (sequencing, timing, music, props, intention)

Required book: Bernie Clark - The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga, 2nd Edition for reference.
