Teacher Trainings

I conduct Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings and meditation retreats throughout the U.S. and Europe.

These trainings are 4-day modular intensives, and each includes an online learning component taken prior to the live training.

Trainings are organized around content relevant to Yin Yoga: Foundations (the physical aspects of Yin Yoga), TCM (the energetic side of Yin Yoga from the perspective of Chinese Medicine), Mindfulness (the meditative dimensions of Yin Yoga), and Yang (integrating Yin and Yang Yoga together). It is recommended, but not required, that students begin with the Foundations Module.

Each training module earns the student 50hrs of Continuing Education credit with Yoga Alliance. All modules may be taken as standalone courses or added together to earn a 200hr or 300hr teaching certificate in Yin Yoga through the Summers School of Yin Yoga. More information on joining our School can be found here.

::ON-DEMAND and ONLINE:: Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Foundations Module (50hr)

The keystone of our training program, the Foundations Module, is now available as a fully-accredited online and on-demand program. It contains everything in the 4-day live intensive training, focusing on the physical aspects of the practice of Yin Yoga: postures, anatomy of joints and fascia, and how to teach Yin Yoga.

::ONLINE:: The Heart of Compassion: Yin Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training Module (50hr) | May-June 2022

The Heart of Compassion Training is a 50hr Yin Yoga and Meditation intensive for teachers and students to explore the Yin and Yang of a heart-based approach to meditation.

I cannot say enough positive things about The Summers School of Yin Yoga! Every module, including the silent retreat, has far exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful to Josh and Terry for cultivating such a wonderful program of studies, and for sharing their knowledge in such a humble and respectful manner. I truly feel blessed and proud to be a part of the Summers School of Yin Yoga!

This is by far THE BEST yoga training course I’ve ever taken. Josh is a joy to work with. He is a fount of knowledge with NO ego! A rare combination. I was able to implement my new knowledge immediately upon returning to teaching and my students enjoyed that additional information. It’s all about tension and compression and a Dragon-A-Day!

—C.S. (Foundations Student)

The Summers School of Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Training was an incredible, life-changing experience. This training has brought me from believing I was a meditation failure to joyfully anticipating opportunities to teach Yin-based meditation. Josh’s humor, perspective, and outstanding preparation make him a tremendous teacher.

—B.B. (Mindfulness Student)

Josh is an accomplished facilitator and trainer, deftly navigating group dynamics and complex topics. The format of the in-person training is genius. The informative online course – a prerequisite for attending the in-person training – ensured that all attendees had a basic understanding of the material, allowing us to dive deep into the material. I rate this course 10+ out of 10, and recommend it to new and seasoned teachers and practitioners, including those who have previously completed teacher training modules with Josh.
