YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Online Course

This 50 hrs Yin Yoga teacher training program will be offered with 3 live sessions to coordinate with the teacher, which are held through Zoom for Q&A, Yin yoga asana breakdown and practice / practice teaching.

Besides the live classes and the recordings of the lectures, students will receive the recordings of 7 Bhakti Prema Yin yoga and pranayama classes.

Course information

Students will receive a video for each topic. The 3 live sessions might be coordinated together with other students who are taking the course at the same time.

During the teaching labs the students have to teach to practice the techniques and postures they are learning.

Yin yoga is a nourishing practice that complements perfectly Yang practices such as Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga. During this course, you will learn about Paul Grilley, the father of Yin yoga, and how this practice came into existence, and its tenets: functional anatomy, Chinese meridian theory, creative Sequencing, Use of props and modifications, as well as the practice of self-inquiry and mindfulness.

The anatomical principles taught in this course are applicable to every style of yoga, and knowing them will complement the way you teach Vinyasa flow as well. Besides learning about skeletal variations and their application in Yin yoga, you will also learn Chinese meridians theory and why this is relevant for Yin yoga.

This course will also introduce you to how to hold space during Yin yoga classes, share meaningful themes, lead meditations, and self- inquiry.

Ameriga, the lead teacher of this training, has trained extensively in Yin yoga with Jo Phee, the senior student of Paul Grilley, studying also for advanced modules such as cadaver dissection. In her classes, she brings together her technical knowledge with her experience in leading self-inquiry journeys grounded in yoga philosophy.

If you are already a registered yoga teacher (RYT), you will be eligible for 50 continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance upon the competition of this training by the 5th of August 2020.

This Yin yoga course will cover the following topics:

*Foundations of Yin yoga

*Roots and development of Yin yoga

*Yin yoga postures: use of props, modifications, and assists

*Art of sequencing Yin yoga classes

*Functional Yin yoga

*Interoceptive skills

*Svadhyaya

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There will be flexibility for students who are unable to make all live sessions, and all videos recorded and can be viewed after the live time until the end of the course. We highly encourage students to participate in the live classes, in order to interact with other students, have the possibility to ask questions and clarifications and facilitate the review of the topics treated in the course. Participating live to the classes is “almost” like being in person with the teacher, and it’s a fantastic plus of LIVE classes that recorded classes cannot provide. Furthermore, during some classes there will be teaching labs during which the students have to teach each other in small groups to practice the techniques and postures they are learning.

Read what my students say

…the best part was the yoga. Ameriga is extremely knowledgeable and driven to share every bit of herself with her students. Passionate, adorable accent. I learned so much.
Maria Petrykowski, USA
I came for ten days to attend an outstanding yoga course. Everyone at Floripa is so helpful and kind, the atmosphere for me was wonderful and it is a testament to this that I met so many returning visitors. I stayed in a shared room which was perfect for me and the space, the proximity to the sea, the incredible food but most importantly everyone that worked made it a special experience and I will definitely be returning.
Joanna Drot-Throa, UK
I loved being challenged on and off the mat each day - and it was so worth it because the amount of knowledge you‘ll have accumulated after this course is unbelievable. Even if I should not end up as a teacher after all, I feel like my own practice and understanding of yoga has evolved so much. And what‘s best: I got to hang out with the loveliest people and create a beautiful tribe that will hopefully stay in touch for a lifetime!
Natalie Bauer, Germany
If you are on an inner journey, looking for the best teacher and training for you, trust me Floripa must be the place. There is an ancient saying: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". So it was for me when I met Ameriga. She is such a provider of knowledge, a source of inspiration, able to push yourself beyond the limits of your comfort zone. This TT was one of the best experiences of my life, I found my tribe and together we started looking at the world with different eyes. Sun, sea, delicious italian food and wine are only a plus;)
