We will spend the weekend exploring the postures of yin yoga, the physical, mental, and energetic benefits of this style of practice, and the anatomy necessary to understand how different bodies create different shapes. We will look more closely at Paul Grilley's "Functional Approach to Yoga" and how it works with the teachings of both yin and yang asana.

The weekend is open to both current and aspiring yoga teachers, as well as enthusiastic students who wish to spend the weekend immersed in all things Yin. You’ll leave this weekend with the foundation and ability to guide yourself and your students safely and effectively into a wide variety of yin poses. This course qualifies for 15 hours of CE credit with Yoga Alliance for registered yoga teachers.

*Required book: Bernie Clark - The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga, 2nd Edition for reference.

We’ll focus on:
· The history and philosophy of yin yoga
· Learning the main poses of yin yoga
· The Functional Approach to Yoga
· Skeletal variation and how it affects the shape of the pose
· Anatomy review to support the Functional Approach
· Understanding connective tissue and fascia
