Yin yoga offers long held static shapes that allow you to slow down and touch base with your heart and soul. It also has deep philosophical roots in Taoism and Chinese Medicine, which work together to balance the body-mind connection in a holistic way.
Yin yoga has a slow and gentle approach to releasing fascia, the connective tissue that houses the bodies organs and muscles. It stimulates the meridian channels, which in turn brings balance and rejuvenation to the body. Yin cultivates buddhist mindfulness techniques, to lower the nervous systems stress responses, effectively returning the body to its natural equilibrium.
During this 50 hour immersion, you will learn everything you need to know to both practice & teach yin yoga. Barbara Courtille has been teaching Yin Yoga and Sound Healing workshops around Australia for the past 5 years. Her teaching methodology offers a safe, accessible and informed approach to some of the more detailed aspects of the curriculum, such as Buddhism, Mindfulness & Traditional Chinese Medicine.

What is Yin?
Yin Yoga is a quiet, receptive practice designed to bring fluidity and flexibility to the physical body, a sense of calm, kindness and resilience to the mental and emotional body and increased awareness and health for the energetic body.
This training is designed for anyone who is looking to deepen their general knowledge of Yin Yoga as well as those looking to specialise in teaching Yin Yoga as a one on one experience or in the class setting.
This training blends practical, experiential exercises with anatomy, philosophy, Chinese Medicine theory and Buddhist theory to provide you with the deepest understanding of both how to practice and guide students through this transformational practice.
Yin Yoga is an incredibly powerful practice. One of the most powerful teachings within Yin Yoga is learning how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. During the long held, passive postures you learn how to look within, with compassion and acceptance at all parts of yourself, both the shadow and the light. This takes huge patience, strength and courage and by practising regularly you become very kind, compassionate, patient and resilient. The practice of yin yoga begins in stillness on the mat by going inwards. When you become adept at viewing yourself in this kind and objective way you start to realise the interconnectedness of all humans and all life on earth as well as your interconnectedness to the planet itself.
Sound Healing
Sound is a big part of the yoga tradition which regards all of life as being made up of vibration. Sound Yoga is a form of vibrational medicine that works with relaxation, allowing the body to absorb the vibrations created by sound healing instruments. Absorbing these healing vibrations creates a sense of peace while clearing the body of emotional and mental clutter. You can incorporate sound with yin yoga in your teaching of Yin classes, to help connect your students to the inner vibrations of the subtle body (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical). Using sound helps students to dive quickly and deeply into a meditative state. Sound yoga is easy, enjoyable and a very effective way to induce a sense of peace and wellbeing. You will find that it makes a great addition to your toolbox of yoga teachings and your students will love you for it!
In this training you will experiment with drums, crystal bowls, bells and chimes, sonic wave therapy, narrative meditation and chanting in combination with Yin yoga and/or meditation. If you have any instruments that you use, you are welcome to bring them along. You don’t need to know how to play a musical instrument to attend this course. Instead we are looking at the use of sound within the Yin class experience.

Testimonials
Tracey Clune
“Clare’s 50 hour Yin training exceeded my expectations. She has such a wealth of knowledge in regards to Yin yoga and its foundation including Buddhist mindfulness techniques and Vipassana meditation. I highly recommend this teacher training.”
Rebecca Roberts
“I have been a fan of Clare’s classes for several years now and when I saw that she was running a Yin training at dancing Warrior, I made sure I didn’t miss out on this great opportunity. Fortunately, I was able to take 3 days holiday leave from work to attend the 5 days. I am so glad I did this course as it was like a wonderful “go slow” holiday in the middle of the year. Clare’s knowledge of the human body is amazing. I look forward to teaching my students Yin yoga.”
Lucy Tam
“I am excited to now be able to offer my students a slower from of Yin/Yang yoga. I am a Chinese student and yoga teacher. I felt at home with the knowledge of the Chinese meridians in Yin. I am so glad I don’t only now teach Hatha Vinyasa, which would make me tired all the time when my students ask me to demonstrate hard poses. The Yin yoga is easier for me to teach and will make my students happy.” I like the idea of Yin/Yang classes.
