EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: by January 15/2027 is $250.00. REGULAR Price - $275.00.
In March 2015, I was pleased to be the first Yin Yoga Teacher in Calgary to offer Yin Yoga Training's at Passage Studios and Metta Yoga Calgary North. Since that time I have trained over 400 Yoga Teachers, from Calgary and all over Western Canada.
The next session of the Yin Yoga Level One Immersion - Fundamentals of Yin Yoga at Metta Yoga Calgary will be next February 5-7/2027.
Friday - 5:30 - 8:30 pm. Saturday and Sunday - 9- 4:30 pm.
This Yin Yoga Immersion with Alan Mileham focuses on developing a strong foundation with emphasis on the physical side of Yin Yoga. In my experience a strong foundation is the key to any Yoga Practice. We spend a lot of time on the three main benefits of Yin Yoga, the physical, mental/mindfulness and energetic. I emphasize the difference between Yang and Yin as it relates to the tissues of the body. Different types of tissue in our body require different modalities of exercise/yoga.
Over the course of the 16 hour weekend, you will learn the fundamentals of a Yin Yoga Practice, modifications and the sequencing of a Yin Yoga class. Having completed this 16 hour Yin Training, if you are a current Yoga Teacher you should be completely comfortable to teach a Yin Yoga class. The Yin Yoga Immersion will include handouts of the class sequences learned in the training, other useful resources on Yin and a detailed chart of the meridians. Alan's goal in offering these Yin Training's is for Teachers to have a better understanding of what Yin Yoga is about and to help teachers be successful in teaching a safe and effective Yin Yoga Class to their students!
This Yin Yoga Immersion is a blend of all the Yin Yoga TT'S that I've taken. Paul Grilley, who is my main Yin Teacher, along with Bernie Clark, Joe Barnett, Sarah Powers and Carly Forest.
Who would benefit from this Yin TT?
**This Yin Yoga Training is open to Yoga Teachers, Students in the process of completing their basic Yoga Training, as well as Avid Yin Yoga Enthusiasts.
This Yin Yoga Immersion is most beneficial to Yoga Teachers who want to teach Yin Yoga Classes in a group environment or a Yoga Teacher who already teaches Yin and wants to develop and learn more or perhaps would like a refresher on Yin Yoga. There is now a greater interest in Yin Yoga coming from practitioners and students alike, who have desire to learn more about Yin Yoga and it's benefits. Interest in Yin Yoga and Yin Yoga Training's are becoming more common with RMT'S, Personal Trainers, Yoga Therapists, Athletes and Yoga Students whose aim is to move more deeply into their own personal practice.
This Yin Yoga Immersion with Alan Mileham qualifies for 16 Contact Hours of CEC'S with Yoga Alliance (USA).

WHAT IS YIN YOGA? Yin Yoga's roots come from the ancient Daoist Traditions of China. Yin Yoga has been around since the beginning of Yoga and is growing in popularity with all ages due to the rising demand of all forms of Yoga. A traditional Yin Yoga Class is a practice that will target ligaments, tendons and the fascia within the body. Each posture can be held anywhere from 3-5 minutes. This encourages the slow and safe opening of connective tissues. There are approximately three dozen Yin postures in total. In a 90 minute Traditional Yin class you can expect to do an average of a dozen postures. Yin classes are the perfect compliment to a more Yang or active style of Yoga, such as Vinyasa, Power Yoga or Ashtanga classes. Although Yin is a more passive practice, it can be quite challenging due to the length of times the postures are held.

TESTIMONIALS:
Alan's Level 1 and 2 Yin Yoga Teacher Training is great for new teachers, experienced teachers, and those who are just interested in Yin Yoga.
Throughout the weekend, I could definitely feel the care and time that Alan took to make his training as amazing and clear as possible.
His knowledge is deep and his passion is strong. There were many times I would find myself getting ready to ask a question and he would answer without me needing to raise my hand.
Hands down, a favourite training indeed.

Hi Alan,
Thank you so much for your great teaching and your dedication for sharing information. I've struggled with anatomy before but the way you taught it made it so clear for me.
Very grateful for you.
Jenny O. Yoga Teacher
Good Afternoon,
I felt so peaceful this weekend and full of gratitude for your knowledge and leadership in our community.
Since beginning my yoga journey, I have held on to your words and wisdom in the classroom.
I appreciate your faithful service to bettering my understanding and giving me tools to create more practical cues in my own classes as a teacher.
All the best Alan,
Warmest Regards,
Michelle D. Yoga Teacher
Hi Alan,
I can't thank you enough for the knowledge you shared with us over the trainings. (Yin TT 1&2). It really was a great experience. So much to learn and explore, but you provided a really great foundation. I absolutely LOVED the assisted Yin both as a teacher and the student. I can't wait to do more of that once covid takes a hike! I had no back discomfort after yesterday's class and none today so we worked through something.
Thanks again!
Andrea. Yoga Teacher.
Thank you Alan,
I truly enjoyed the course.
All the best!
Geoff. Yin Yoga Enthusiast!
Hi Alan,
My only feedback is I liked it so much (Yin Yoga TT Level One) I begged to get next Friday off for round 2. (Yin Yoga Level 2.)
Shelley F. Yin Yoga Enthusiast! Edmonton.
Hi Alan,
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Your style of teaching makes it very comfortable to learn. I appreciate that. Thank you for coming to Lethbridge. I am most definitely interested in Level 2 and also interested in Wall Yin Training.
Thanks again and take care.

The Yin TT helped bring clarity and I feel confident teaching others because of that. Thanks for a fun, honest and educational weekend. I am so glad a spot opened up for me. I also enjoyed the practice teaching part of it.
Donna D. Yoga Teacher
Thank you for this past weekend. I loved your easy and open way of teaching as well as well as keeping it fairly straightforward as there were so many levels of experience and knowledge in the class. It's great to see so many young women empowering themselves with this type of knowledge.
Theresa S. Yoga Teacher.
Today I felt I had been on a mini-retreat this past weekend-it was a great training! Well organized and thought out. I really liked how you kept us on task so things didn't get side tracked as can often in trainings.
Nancy H. Yoga Teacher
Thank you so much for teaching us. It was a true blessing.
Laurel Van S. Yoga Teacher.
Thank you for offering a great training. It has definately rekindled my interest in Yin. I can't wait to start incorporating more Yin into my classes. I also appreciate how well you stayed on task and stuck to the itinerary.
Thanks! Kerry W. Yoga Teacher & RMT.
