Beyond its obvious and measurable physical benefits, Yin Yoga practice affects and influences deeper levels of being, often resulting in profound emotional experiences/releases during the practice thereby offering sacred portals into self-discovery and realization.  In this training we explore the Manomaya Kosha (relating to the mental/emotional body) and Vijnanamaya Kosha (relating to the intuitive/wisdom body), seeking to understand how the organs and meridians correspond to thoughts and feelings, and how they interact within this dynamic, living system. We also explore chakras and the powerful realm of unconscious belief systems, learning to reality-test negative patterns and unleashing the possibility of liberation and transformation. 

Included in the training are daily yin yoga classes designed to take you deep into your somatic and intuitive wisdom, and opportunities to work in pairs and small groups to practically apply the lessons learned. This is a highly experiential training designed to help participants viscerally integrate information, inviting personal healing while cultivating the skills necessary to hold space for students’ transformational journeys.   Included in the Training:

• Organs and Emotions, Patterns of Excess, Deficiency and Balance

• Meridians, Chakras, Life Issues and Associations

• A.A.F.F.R.: a formula for responding to emotional responses in yin yoga practice as well as IRL

• Breathing practices to invite the fullness of experience

• Safe, Sacred and Neutral: prerequisite for personal YINquiry

This training is open to yoga teachers of all traditions as well as curious and dedicated yin yoga students. Participants will receive a certificate of completion which can be applied as “Continuing Education Units” (CEU’s) for Registered Yoga Teachers. 

For 'non-members' of Just Plain Yoga the training costs $399. If you enroll early (by August 9, I think) pay just $359!
