Yin for the win: it takes skill to be still! In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you'll learn how to design and cue yin yoga classes. (If you have not done yoga teacher training, you are still welcome; this weekend would be a good experiment to see if you would like to pursue yoga teacher training down the road.)

This workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes to complete before we meet, so please budget at least five hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.

Our in-person sessions will:

+ Create a clear definition of what constitutes yin yoga—and what differentiates it from gentle yoga and restorative yoga 
+ Take a bird's-eye view of the history and theory of yin yoga
+ Clarify what is happening physiologically and psychologically in yin yoga holds
+ Workshop the student experience in yin yoga classes, so we can empathize with and serve our students better
+ Prompt you to design yin sequences; you'll also get full class plans to use right away
+ Build your confidence in leading students of every age and level of ability
+ Help you find the balance between talking and quiet as you lead a yin class
+ Give you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your newfound yin yoga teaching skills and hone the abilities you already have
