50hrs Yin Yoga Teacher Training
april 2025
with Mickey Space

Discover the transformative power of Yin Yoga in our 50-hour Teacher Training program. This course equips you with the knowledge and techniques to teach Yin Yoga with clarity and an understanding of how anatomical uniqueness influences movement. The skills gained will elevate your teaching across all styles of yoga, movement, and bodywork.

Topics we explore:

  • Origins of Yin Yoga and its Taoist philosophy

  • The individuality of anatomy and its practical application

  • Yin-focused tissues and techniques

  • TCM/meridians and energy pathways

  • Yin energy and non-duality principles

  • Practical skills: yin postures, prop use, and sequencing

  • Sound healing and trauma-aware approaches

This course offers 35 contact hours over 5 immersive days, with an additional 15 hours of guided assignments and real-world SEVA teaching experience to refine your confidence as an instructor.

In a world dominated by yang energy, many yoga practices inadvertently mirror this imbalance. Yin Yoga provides the much-needed stillness and introspection to restore harmony, encouraging a calm and centered state. Whether for personal growth or professional teaching, this training is a journey into the essence of Yin.
