Step into a restorative learning experience where timeless yogic wisdom meets a modern, practical approach. This training invites you to explore the stillness, depth, and subtle intelligence of Yin Yoga while developing the confidence to share it with others.
Discover the transformative power of stillness and the quiet strength it can awaken within.
Yoga is often described as a path toward deep happiness and wellbeing, helping us cultivate harmony across all aspects of who we are. Just as the world is shaped by contrast, we too are made of Yin and Yang.
Yin Yoga offers a quiet counterbalance to the more dynamic, muscular Yang styles familiar in the West. It works into the deeper layers of the body, supporting the renewal and mobility of the bones and connective tissues. Gentle, still, and deeply nourishing, Yin Yoga encourages receptivity and inward awareness. By holding postures for longer periods, practitioners are given space to connect with the inner self and release physical, emotional, and mental tension. Although Yin Yoga was named in recent decades by Paul Grilley, its foundations come from ancient Indian and Chinese philosophies centered on health and energy.
Yoga Nidra, known as yogic sleep, is an ancient practice rooted in Indian yogic philosophy and brought into wider awareness by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. This guided meditation leads the practitioner into profound physical relaxation while the mind remains awake and aware. Like Yin Yoga, it supports the release of tension on physical, emotional, and mental levels. It also goes further, using deep relaxation as a way to reshape and refine the personality from within.
As a scientific method, Yoga Nidra supports deep healing and the awakening of creative intelligence, making it a powerful complement to Yin Yoga teaching.

Yin Yoga & Functional Anatomy
In this 50-hour Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, you will explore the deeper layers of being through practices that support healing and empowerment on physical, emotional, and mental levels. The training offers practical tools for guiding students into stillness and awareness, while nurturing overall wellbeing.
Because Yin Yoga is a functional practice, this module includes a focused study of functional anatomy, skeletal variation, and how different bodies experience the practice. You will examine the postures, their functions and target areas, along with variations that make the practice more accessible and effective for diverse students.
The course also introduces the foundations of Daoist philosophy, including the relationship between Yin and Yang and how these principles connect to anatomy and yoga practice. By the end of the module, graduates will feel prepared to design, theme, sequence, and teach meaningful Yin Yoga classes.
“Yin Yoga is like a conversation with your body; listen carefully, and you’ll learn profound truths.”
– Paul Grilley
Yin Yoga & Chakra theory
This module explores how teachings such as chakras, karma, samskaras, vrittis, and vasanas can inform personal growth and wellbeing in modern life. You will practice chakra meditation techniques, Yin and some Yang asana sequences, and study the physical, emotional, and mental qualities associated with each chakra.
The training also revisits the core anatomical and philosophical principles of Yin Yoga, including target areas, skeletal segments, and the archetypal postures.
The curriculum draws on the teachings of Paramahansa Yoganandya, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, and Paul Grilley.
“The body is a vessel of wisdom; Yin Yoga is the key to unlock its secrets.”
– Sarah Powers
