Canadian Yoga Alliance Certified Continued Education Series

Yin Teacher Training (20hr)
Continued Education Series:
Poised to guide others through the practice of yin yoga?

Friday June 6th to Sunday June 8th, 2025

Our Yin Yoga teacher training will delve deep into the unique Yin approach and teach you how to lead others responsibly. Whether you are new to Yin yoga or building on foundational knowledge, you will gain valuable information on this quietly passive yet profoundly challenging practice. Together, we will explore the history, philosophy, principles and many benefits of Yin yoga while uncovering its unique impact on the body. As you explore longer held poses designed to target the deepest tissues of the body: our ligaments, joints, bones and deep fascia networks, you will be introduced to mindfulness techniques that will help to balance body and mind.

If you’re waiting for the ‘perfect’ time, let us save you some trouble — it doesn’t exist!
The only thing waiting does is keep you exactly where you are.
If you’re here, you’re ready.
If you know you aren’t where you want to be, you’re ready.
If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, you’re ready.
If you don’t make a move now, you’ll be in the exact same place this time next year.
You don’t need to be ‘ready’. You just need to take that first step.
