Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training II TPY International Yoga Academy, Ho Chi Minh City
(in English with Vietnamese translation)
"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand." (Confucius)
Confucius’ saying reflects the emphasis of this particular Yin Yoga Teacher Training where the focus is on sensing, feeling, experiencing the yin yoga practice and the unique anatomy of our individual bone structure for ourselves. You will be analysing yourselves and each other, conducting passive assists as well as experiencing compression and tension amongst your fellow students. Through this very much hands on, practical approach your knowledge and understanding will be increased tenfold.
Welcome to Yin Yoga Teacher Training II
This 50-hour intensive certified yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 6 sections:
1. Yin Yoga Asanas
In this continuance of our yin yoga teacher training programme, we concentrate mainly on the 9 awareness points of functional yoga.
In this Yin Yoga teacher training, we focus on various points of attention in the functional yoga asana practice. While Module I focused on the technical and mechanical understanding of the asanas, Module II focuses on feeling and experiencing the physical, energetic and emotional body during a practice.
2. Anatomy is the Key
As well as analysing compression, we’ll study the tension of the muscular and fascial tissues and the effect of these on the asana practice. This will allow us to offer our students logical assists.
3. Biomechanics in Yin Yoga
Why do we practice Yang and Yin Yoga Asanas from a physical perspective? We explain what an optimal workout should look like according to the latest findings.
4. Emotions during Hip Openers
Why can things suddenly become emotional during a hip opener class, during backbends or during long-held asanas? In this segment we look at how stress and trauma are processed in the body and how a yoga asana can bring them to the surface and be released.
5. Passive Assists
In this section, we learn passive, hands-on assists.
6. Yin Therapy - Personal Training
In YYTT II, we establish a basic understanding of how – using Yin Therapy's approach – we can employ the therapeutic elements of Yin Yoga to support our students’ individual and specific physical and emotional issues.
According to statistics, 25% of the yoga students who come to us took up yoga originally precisely because they have these specific problems.

“I particularly liked the manner in which you presented anatomy - clear, understandable, profound. One clearly senses that you are imparting your inner wisdom and all delivered with enthusiasm and humour!
”
“Thank you for your knowledge, your pleasant manner, your humour and your structure when teaching - I have already done a lot of training, be it a sports science degree, personal and functional training, different yoga styles and yoga therapy, but I have very rarely seen a lecturer, who teaches so clearly and can pass on so much practical, important knowledge to you in such a fine way.
THANK YOU for doing this and for investing so much of yourself and investing so much to pass this on!
”
“I particularly liked the practical anatomy, lots of practical examples, pictures, the analysis of the asanas, extensive handbook. Thank you so much for helping me understand my own body and to become a better yoga teacher.
