Training Schedule
Learn to Teach Intentional, Meditative Classes with Confidence and Compassion. Experience the transformative power of Yin Yoga and mindfulness meditation. This 40-Hour Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training is for those who feel called to deepen their own practice or share the profound benefits of Yin Yoga and meditation with others.
Whether you’re a student, teacher, or wellness professional, this training is designed to guide you in teaching meditative Yin Yoga classes - blending the stillness of Yin with the healing power of mindfulness and meditation, all rooted in compassionate awareness.
Throughout this training, you will explore the foundational wisdom of Yin Yoga and meditation as it arises through Buddhist philosophy, Yoga Nidra, and Taoist teachings. These ancient traditions offer a rich context for personal growth and self-awareness, helping you integrate their teachings into your practice, your classes, and your daily life with authenticity and depth.
You will also learn how to cultivate a deeply meditative experience in your classes, guiding students through mindfulness meditations, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and Taoist energy practices to support holistic healing, clarity, and peace.
You will gain a deeper understanding of the physiology of Yin Yoga, including how Yin stimulates the connective tissues to build strength, flexibility, and balance. This anatomical knowledge will strengthen your personal practice and support you in teaching with safety and confidence, ensuring that each student feels cared for in their own unique body.
A special highlight of this training is the integration of Taoist energy practices, including Five Elements Theory and Yin–Yang Organ energetics. You will learn powerful techniques to sense and balance your own energy (Qi), bringing greater vitality and calm to your practice, and empowering you to support your students or clients in doing the same.
You will also explore practical tools for creative teaching, learning how to design intentional class plans and sequences that reflect your personal teaching style and resonate with your students' needs. Plus, you’ll gain valuable experience leading students through a variety of Yin Yoga and Meditation practices, discovering firsthand how these practices can transform both your students' lives and your own.
By the end of this training, you will have the tools, confidence, and wisdom to teach classes that support your students physically while also nurturing their mind, heart, and spirit. Whether you wish to deepen your own practice, expand your teaching skills, or integrate Yin Yoga and meditation into your wellness offerings, this training will provide a strong foundation and lasting inspiration.
