Overview
The yoga teacher training programs at The Inner Yoga Training are based on Yin Yang concepts and teach you how to live in balance and harmony. Yin Yang lies within everything,, including the human body. Your Yin side is your slow, soft, and more quiet energy. In comparison to Yang, which is your fast-paced and active energy. Due to your hectic lifestyles, you often neglect your Yin as you are constantly trying to find a balance between work, family, and personal time; taking you out of balance overall.
The Vinyasa and Yin YTT offers a unique concept that teaches you how to harmonize these two energies through two different styles of yoga; Yin and Vinyasa, with time dedicated to yoga Nidra, meditation, and mindfulness techniques.
Inner Yoga Training Bali wants to make your yoga teacher training journey as easy as possible, so they offer the training as an all-inclusive experience; all you need to do is focus on your yoga teacher training. Aside from your 200 hours of training, they also include your accommodation and all meals in the price of your training. They'll even pick you up from the airport on the arrival day!
