Course information
This course is also suitable for enthusiastic practitioners who are interested in learning how to create a safe and sustainable home practice of Yin yoga. It is structured in four didactic sections:
- Anatomy of Yin yoga
- Chinese meridians
- Yin yoga theory and practice
- Yin yoga poses
Yin yoga is a nourishing practice that complements perfectly Yang practices such as Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga. During this course, you will learn about Paul Grilley, the father of Yin yoga, how this practice came into existence, and its tenets: functional anatomy, Chinese meridian theory, creative sequencing, use of props and modifications, as well as the practice of self-inquiry and mindfulness.
The anatomical principles taught in this course apply to every style of yoga and knowing them will complement the way you teach Vinyasa flow as well. Besides learning about skeletal variations and their application in Yin yoga, you will also learn Chinese meridians theory and why this is relevant for Yin yoga. This course will also introduce you to how to hold space during Yin yoga classes, share meaningful themes, lead meditations, and self-inquiry.
Ameriga, the lead teacher of this training, has trained extensively in Yin yoga with Jo Phee, the senior student of Paul Grilley, studying also for advanced modules such as cadaver dissection. In her classes, she brings together her technical knowledge with her experience in leading self-inquiry journeys grounded in yoga philosophy. This Yin yoga course will cover the following topics:
- Foundations of Yin yoga
- Roots and development of Yin yoga
- Yin yoga postures: use of props, modifications, and assists
- Art of sequencing Yin yoga classes
- Functional Yin yoga
- Interoceptive skills
- Svadhyaya
- The art of asking powerful questions
- Mindfulness
- Leading inquiries and journaling
- Anatomy
- Skeletal variations for hips, shoulders, and spine
- Connective tissue in Yin yoga
- The importance of appropriate stress
- Chinese medicine
