This 30 hour training will build on the foundational yin principles you learnt in your initial yin training be that with Jody Vassallo or through another training provider.
Designed for Yin Yoga teachers and keen yogis who are looking to add another dimension to their yin classes or home practice. It will introduce a variety of new ways to theme and construct your yin classes to add not just variety but more comprehensive information on the five elements to your students. The focus of the training will be primarily on creating yin classes that allow students to foster a deeper understanding of themselves, their habits, choices and the fears. Jody will share engaging and life affirming breath and meditation practices along with helpful mindfulness tools to help take your practice and your students to another level of depth and connection. You will be investigating how yin your life is and how that may be impacting your health, relationships, teaching and energy. There will be also a food component in which Jody will give tips and recipes that help calm anxiety and support the nervous system.
