About this Event

If you’ve enjoyed Yin Yoga, you know that it is a slow, quiet approach to postures that can help nourish the body by providing deep release of the dense connective tissues of fascia, ligaments and tendons. You may also have experienced a release in your mind and spirit as Yin Yoga provides insight and awareness as a meditative practice. The philosophical and physiological underpinnings of Yin Yoga are further enhanced with the addition of pranayama and mindfulness techniques to create a peaceful practice that will ease your body and restore your mind.

In the training, Lauren McLaren, E-RYT-500 & YACEP, will draw on her studies in Yin Yoga and Pranayama to help you develop your ability to:

Deepen your understanding of the practice of Yin Yoga.
Learn the art of release that is inherent to yogic practice.
Sequence and teach a Yin Yoga class.
Incorporate elements of Yin Yoga into your regular classes.
Understand the philosophical and physiological elements of Yin Yoga.
Skillfully use mindfulness and breathing techniques in your own practice and teaching.

This program qualifies for 14 CEUs with Yoga Alliance. This is a hands-on intensive featuring lessons in anatomy, asana modifications, sequencing, benefits and contraindications. You will also be provided the opportunity to practice-teach Yin Yoga with your fellow trainees during the training.

We are excited to help guide you towards a deep understanding of Yin Yoga. Our intention is for you, and your students, to reap the benefits of this nourishing and powerful practice.
