So You Think You Can Teach Yin…

(Hint) 'it's not just regular yoga with longer holds'

When: Saturday, 2:30 PM (1.5 hrs (90 min))
  Room: COM: Campus View

Description

When teachers assuming that Yin Yoga is ‘just like regular yoga but with longer holds’ is a common mistake, one that keeps teachers offering mediocre Yin classes instead of exceptional ones.

Yin Yoga is quite different than more Yang movement-based or flowing forms of yoga and so it should be taught differently as well.

So what exactly makes Yin Yoga unique and how is teaching Yin different?

In this workshop we will learn:

  1. Basic Yin Yang theory
  2. A brief history of Yin Yoga
  3. What is Yin Yoga’s secret super-power
  4. Functional Yoga vs. Aesthetic Yoga
  5. How the breath is different in Yin Yoga
  6. Yin Yoga practice guidelines
  7. How to create an intentional and Impactful Yin Yoga Class

Participants Need

Notebook and pen or tablet/ laptop for taking notes.
