Our Yin Yoga Teacher Training covers Yin poses, sequences and how to structure a class, along with the theory behind why Yin Yoga works the way it does. You’ll learn about anatomy, fascia and meridians in an interactive and inspiring way. Beyond the technique itself, you’ll also explore how to find your own voice as a teacher.

There’ll also be a focus on your own practice of Yin yoga: bringing good quality rest into your everyday life in a way that feels fun and motivating instead of another thing to tick off your to-do-list.

The environment created by Melanie Cooper on this course, is non-dogmatic and non-judgemental. It provides time for you to step into the yin place of receiving and nurturing.
