They ensure to offer you the best training in Yin yoga to shape you as a teacher in this specific yoga form. Check in after 2:00 p.m. on the 23rd, check out on the 29th before 10:00 a.m. The class starts on the 24th and you will receive the certification on the 28th in the evening. The daily routine of a Yin yoga teacher has been made in such a way that there is an inclusion of physical practice, theory, and self-observation.

There is a practice of silent meditation along with pranayama which is later followed by energizing asana practice to get the body up and about. Theory classes about the philosophy of yoga, ways of teaching, anatomy of yoga, and others will take place, and practical lessons of helping with asana dissection and reconstruction will extend throughout the day. One more yoga session with the aim of relaxation, a talk, and meditation will be included in the evenings with the aim of facilitating community and development. The educational process seems to be quite rigid and would, however, allow free expression on any particular aspect that would trigger active engagement with effective assimilation and growth of the students.

What is Yin yoga?

Yin yoga originates from the Taoist principle of Yin and Yang, two completely opposite natures complementary to each other. Yin yoga is a powerful, slow, and subtle form of yoga that offers a deeper impact on tendons and muscles with its meditative impact. In this form of yoga, asanas are combined with pranayama and meditation, with passive relaxation along with deep opening. The postures in this form of yoga are mostly practiced on the floor and held for a longer duration (almost two to five minutes), which is aimed at a deeper impact on body tissues, tendons, and muscles while connecting the soul through a meditative approach.

It is more of being in a posture and letting go of different emotions to delve into a more intense connection with the soul. Yin yoga works with muscles and connective tissues, which are considered almost 90% resistant to the flexibility of the human body. With its longer duration of pose-hold and practice of breath control, Yin yoga offers a relatively deeper impact while guiding in the direction of complete calmness. Asanas in Yin yoga are relatively similar to those of Indian Hatha yoga but practiced differently to offer a completely different meaning to relaxation and energy harvesting.
