Yin Yoga Immersive Workshop + Intro to Sound Healing

There seems to be a Yin Yoga buzz in the air as yoga teachers and students are realizing the power of slowing down and turning inward with the healing effects of the practice.

If you are curious to learn more about this style of yoga, but not quite ready to commit to a full length training, then get ready for this immersive experience designed to expand your knowledge of a functional yoga practice and skeletal variations. This 6-hour training/personal enrichment program is a valuable introductory exploration for dedicated students who wish to deepen their understanding of Yin Yoga for their own self, for teachers wanting to incorporate Yin Yoga wisely and safely into their class offerings, and for wellness practitioners looking to integrate Yin Yoga into their practice. This program will also highlight the complementary modality of sound meditation and its reciprocal effects within a Yin Yoga practice. Students will have the opportunity to learn Sound Healing 101 with an introduction to the science of vibration and how it impacts the nervous system. 

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is an introspective practice that offers a chance to turn inward and nurture the calm, quiet center that is innate in all of us. Most postures are seated or reclined with 3-7 minute holds, while relaxing the body’s resistance, and allowing the deeper, dryer tissues – the fascia that wrap muscles and form joint capsules, to be safely and therapeutically stretched, hydrated and strengthened.

Who benefits from Yin?

Yin Yoga is ideal for people of most fitness levels who want to balance an intense exercise routine, and for those who live busy fast-paced lifestyles in work or personal endeavors. You will be trained in a meditative practice, which helps to alleviate stress, restore your energy levels, and improve flexibility.
