50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Varkala, Kerala

This 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a comprehensive program that blends daily practice with deep theoretical study. Over the course of 7 days, you'll explore the philosophy of Yin Yoga, including its origins, the concept of Yin vs. Yang, and insights from Chinese medicine and meridian theory. The training emphasizes teaching methodology, so you'll learn how to sequence a Yin class, provide verbal guidance, and use props effectively to support students of all levels.

The course also covers the important topic of anatomy, using the 14/10/7 model by Paul Grilley to understand tension and compression in asana practice. You'll learn about fascia and myofascial release techniques using balls, which can be a powerful addition to your personal practice and teaching. Each day includes a practical component where you'll practice teaching and receive feedback, helping you build confidence in your skills.
