Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Directed by Biff Mithoefer, 500-ERYT
50 hr Credit for NYI 500-1000hr level certification

at the Nosara Yoga Institute

Part II: Oct 30 - Nov 4, 2012 | $1000

Yin Yoga uses long held postures that support us in accessing the deeper, more Yin parts of ourselves. In this 5 day training we will look at how this practice with its ancient yogic roots can affect our physical, energetic and emotional bodies. Through this understanding we will explore ways to lead a Yin class, and to incorporate Yin postures and philosophy into any practice.

The training will include:
• Taoist philosophy
• The Yin practice of non-striving and how it influences our lives and our teaching
• The movement of Qi or Prana in the body, and how it can be affected by Yin practice.
• Anatomy and the understanding of our own natural pattern (li)
• Sequencing a Yin class
• What it means to hold a safe, sacred space for a Yin practice

The workshop is suitable for Yoga teachers and experienced practitioners who wish to deepen their Yin practice. It will qualify as 50 hours of credit for Nosara Yoga Institute graduates toward their 500 or 1000 hour Yoga Alliance Certification. Part 2 of this training module will be offered at Nosara Yoga Institute and Omega Institute in 2012.
