Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training I - Sanctuary Hill, New Plymouth
(in English)
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” (Confucius)
This 6 day/50 hour certified module of our 200 hour Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training is intended to deepen our understanding of Yin Yoga through the experiential, practical and theoretical application. We study in depth the 20+ basic yin yoga poses and discover a sense of security and deepen our ability to effectively practice and teach, through developing an anatomical awareness and understanding of skeletal variation.
We learn to employ the 7 point analysis principle to understand each yoga pose as well as the individual and unique bodies of not only ourselves but also our students. In turn this enables us to offer logical assists and variations. Anatomy is the key.
Welcome to Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training I
This 50-hour intensive yoga teaching course (6 days) comprises 4 sections:
1. Yin Yoga Asanas
This section covers the theory and practice for safely practicing and teaching 20 yin yoga poses, including their specific characteristics and their effects.
2. Anatomy is the Key
Anatomical understanding of not only the individual bone structure but also the muscular, connective, fascial and ligament tissues is an essential prerequisite for an effective yoga teacher.
3. 7-Point Analysing Principle for Assists - Theory
This course focuses less on teaching set assists and much more on introducing a 7-point analysing principle, which you can then use for every known yoga pose and for each individual student.
4. 7-Point Analysing Principle - Practical Tests
In this Yin Yoga and Anatomy Teacher Training, we study and apply a series of practical tests for analysing the bone structure, compression and tension of our students. We will have the opportunity to learn – in a safe environment – to read a human being, to sense our own limitations and to test and recognise those of others. Eventually, with the benefit of myriad insights and enhanced self-awareness, we will be able to assess the needs and limitations of any individual student.
The foundation has been laid.
“I feel blessed to have just completed the 200 hrs YYTT with Markus and Karin. They are inspirational teachers, with great warmth and humour, who live and breathe what they teach. The course was a full immersion in the world of Yin Yoga.
I gained a very workable knowledge of anatomy, a true insight into the uniqueness of every “body”, and a clear understanding what it means to be an authentic yin yoga teacher. I was inspired and look forward to sharing what I have learnt.
”
“I highly, highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in diving deep into the foundations of Yin Yoga or who simply wants to experience the world-class teaching offered by Markus. This was hands down one of the best courses I have ever done and I cannot wait to be back for Module II, for which I will travel to Germany all the way from Canada. Markus is a well of knowledge on all things (Yin) Yoga, has fascinating stories to tell, is hilariously funny, extremely compassionate and kind. I can honestly say I learned much more than 50 hours’ worth. Thank you!
