Explore the history and philosophy of Yin Yoga, the anatomy of Yin – including vulnerable joints, meridians and yin and yang concepts. You will learn how to combine Yin and Yang yoga in a Hatha class, plus the various themes for Yin classes and linking of Yin yoga postures.
In short, you will learn the fundamentals required to start teaching Yin Yoga classes with confidence, along with safety concerns and pre-existing conditions.
