This 50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training is designed for practitioners and teachers interested in understanding how to translate and apply the revolutionary theories and principles of skeletal variation and functional anatomy – born from the yin yoga curriculum – to any style of yang yoga practice (whether that be Hatha, vinyasa, ashtanga, power, rocket, or hot yoga, for example.)This specialised programme will help students to deepen their knowledge and ability to analyse human variation. Graduates will leave with the necessary skills to practise and teach individualised asana, helping to make yoga accessible to all body types and across all styles of yoga.
The functional anatomy component of this module will focus on the shoulder. Anatomy labs will allow students to carry out range-of-motion tests, analysing anatomical variations and natural bio-mechanics – learning to skilfully apply observations and insights into pose modifications.
In a series of focused yang posture clinics, we will look in detail at a variety of key traditional hatha yoga poses that include standing poses, backbends and inversions. We will focus on how skeletal variations in the shoulders, spine, pelvis and tibia will affect the appropriate ‘alignment’ for each student.
The final piece of the puzzle will be learning how to skillfully teach traditional yang (Hatha) poses based on function over aesthetics. We will carefully deconstruct the standard aesthetical alignment cues to analyse their effectiveness across a broad range of our students’ bodies before learning how to communicate functional cues that will ensure students are guided safely and effectively into each posture.
The ultimate goal is to help students discern the appropriate ‘alignment’ that works for their bodies by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to explore their unique physicality and help them to build a sustainable, long-term yoga practice.
The training will be split into three parts:
Principles & Theories of Functional Yang Yoga
Yin-Yang Yoga (Sequencing Methodology & Practice)
Functional Anatomy (Shoulders)
