Individual On-Demand Trainings:
In our series of self-paced Yin Yoga trainings, you will learn a comprehensive and in-depth approach to practicing and teaching the art of Yin Yoga.
We offer two kinds of Continuing Education courses for Yin Yoga students and teachers:
- Foundations – Our 50hr Foundations Trainings teach you the functional elements of anatomy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and meditation for Yin Yoga.
- Qi Cultivation – Our 20hr Qi Culitvation Trainings teach you the functional elements of our energy-based practice – The Yin Practice Sublime – an evolving integration of Yin Yoga, Qi Gong, Acupressure Massage, Pranayama, Functional Mobility and Strength, and Yin Meditation.
Some students like to start with Foundations and then move into the refinement of application and synthesis in Qi Cultivation. Others like to begin with the practical tools of Qi Cultivation and go back to the foundational trainings for the theory and philosophy later.
All modules may be taken as a standalone training (50 YACEP hours), or you may earn a 100hr, 200hr or 300hr Certification in Yin Yoga Studies within our Summers School of Yin Yoga.
