Yin Yoga
Everything requires balance, and yin yoga is the balancing practice for yang forms of yoga. Yin yoga is slow, deliberate, calming, and yes, challenging, yet allowing. It is the “other half” of your practice that you may have been craving.
In this course you will:
Learn about the philosophy and practice of yin yoga.
Explore the similarities between Eastern models of mind/body/energy principles (both Daoist and yogic) and Western scientific models.
Learn some physiology and anatomy—from the bones outward including the limits to movement and the significance of skeletal variation.
Get detailed instructions for practicing and teaching the most common yin yoga asanas: butterfly, half butterfly, caterpillar, straddle, shoelace, swan, dragon, sphinx/seal, saddle, bananasana, supported bridge, and reclining twist.
Learn best practices for teaching yin yoga and how to modify the practice for students’ unique bodies and/or specific conditions.
Explore Eastern and Western mindfulness practices and how you can incorporate them into your yoga practice.
Gain insight into energy including prana, qi (chi) and the meridians, and Western energy medicine.
