About Yin Yoga
Yin yoga has been growing in popularity as people increasingly seek balance in a fast-paced world. The chance to sink into stillness, to connect to your centre and to relax into rest is a potent practice.
Many people see Yin Yoga as a complement to a vinyasa practice, the yin to the yang, but it is also an entire practice in itself. This training will equip you, as a teacher and as a practitioner, to add elements of Yin to the cool down of your class or to teach complete sessions of Yin Yoga.
Many people confuse Yin and Restorative Yoga, for a detailed explanation see here

This residential course is a mixture of theoretical and practical sessions. You will have the opportunity for practical teaching experience or you can choose to participate as a student. Then the evening sessions will include teaching practice and also offer you time to relax and reconnect to yourself through guided meditation, pranayama and Yoga Nidra.
