OVERVIEW

A wonderful opportunity to delve deep into the practice of Yin yoga with Norman Blair who is one of the UK’s most experienced and well-respected Yin yoga teachers.

This five-day (40-hour) Yoga Alliance-accredited Yin yoga teacher training course gives participants space to study and explore this increasingly popular form of yoga. The course is both theoretical and creative, giving you the tools and the inspiration with which to confidently create your own sequencing.

Course Information

The reasons for and the results of practising this form will be explained. There will be detailed examination of poses, examples of sequencing and plenty of time to evaluate our own experiences. Participants will learn about contraindications and modifications.

By the end of the course, participants will have a detailed understanding of Yin yoga as a practice. Qualified yoga teachers will be equipped to begin teaching Yin yoga. Learning Yin yoga can significantly expand your horizons as a teacher, equipping you with ideas and methods to offer this practice to your students. Practitioners wishing to deepen their Yin practice are also welcome on this course, alongside anyone wishing to qualify to teach Yin. This is a course for both professional development and personal development.

LEAD TEACHER

GUEST TEACHERS

Maitripushpa Bois - Meditation

Maitripushpa began her regular meditation practice in the mid-1980s and has been practicing yoga since the mid-1990s. She constantly watches and learns how the two practices influence each other. Bodily-based, she believes that a meditation that is simple and practical can also be deep and transformative.

Amanda Wright - Yin yoga

Amanda has been practising yoga since 2001 and teaching Yin and other styles of yoga since 2006. Amanda is a big believer in Continual Personnel Development. She has done many trainings and retreats with Sarah Powers and retreats at Gaia House, and teachers including David Swenson, Judith Hanson Lasater and Norman Blair. The reason for this is to shake ourselves up a bit, not get complacent, and potentially bring about change.

Emma Charlton - Anatomy

Emma has a great interest in the human body. She has been an Aromatherapist and Massage Therapist since 2000 and has taught massage at leading aromatherapy colleges since 2005. She has a long-term yoga practice and is fascinated by the possibilities of body and how body moves in response to yoga poses. She has an in-depth understanding of musculo-skeletal structures and continues along her path of learning with regular training and development.
