Yin Yoga uses floor-based postures held for prolonged periods of time to nourish the fascial tissues and stimulate the deeper energetic channels in the body.

Over the first 4 days of this training, Jennifer will guide you from the physical body to the subtle bodies, using the Koshas as a tool to aid in your journey of self-discovery. Each day will consist of a deep Yin practice based on 1 of the 5 Koshas, followed with pranayama and meditation. At the end of each day, we’ll dive deeper into the theory and practical work of the Yin practice. The last 2 days will have a similar daily schedule but will explore the facial lines and the Meridians.

Jennifer’s lectures on the anatomical body will give a structured foundation in which students will feel confident in sequencing safe and effective Yin practices for themselves and others. Once the foundation is built, then the deeper layers of the practice can be taught through work on the subtle bodies which will be investigated through breathwork and meditation.

In this training you will learn:

· Physical aspects of Yin: Anatomy and Physiology, Sequencing, Props and Injury Management, Fascia Lines

· Energetic aspects of Yin: Koshas, Chi and Prana, Meridians, Nadis, Vayus

· Mental aspects of Yin: Pranayama, Chanting and Meditation
