Yin Yoga Teacher
Training (Eng/Esp)
with María Abad
April 5-14th, 2024
YIN YOGA is based on Taoist Philosophy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The main focus of the practice is to work on the joints and connective tissues of the body. The postures are done on the ground , and they are held with long permanence, with the purpose of stimulating the flow of Chi (energy), trough the Meridians. One of the main benefits of this practice is the improvement of flexibility, which makes it ideal to teach beginners, and those with limited mobility. It also provides an important balance to those practitioners who perform fast, dynamic Yoga.
This 50 hours training is for yoga teachers, and regular practitioners with interest in deepening their practice, refreshing, and enriching their teachings.

Yin Yoga Asanas: In your personal practice, variations, sequeces, and how to teach according to personal needs.

and create sequences for the health of the organs.
