This
workshop is for anyone who wants
to add Yin Yoga to their
practice and teaching
repertoire. We will explore the
history, philosophy, anatomy,
physiology and guiding
principles supporting a Yin Yoga
practice, including the new
research on fascia and
connective tissue. The
first weekend will introduce the
philosophy and physiology of Yin
Yoga as we practice Restorative
Yin, Legs-up-the-wall Yin, and
Gentle Yin. The second weekend
will introduce meridian theory
and the energy body as we
practice more challenging
Standing Yin--including T'ai Chi
and Qigong--and Dynamic Yin.
Weekends can be taken separately
or together. Yoga teachers will
learn to lead a basic Yin Yoga
sequence and will have an
opportunity to practice teach.
Practitioners will be immersed
in a Yin Yoga retreat. You do
not have to be a yoga teacher to
take this training.
