50hrs Yin Yoga TTC

Yin yoga is so much more than long stretches & piles of pillows. It is a journey into slowness, softness & subtlety. It is deep nourishment for our nervous system, a place of rest & reset for the body, and an opportunity to listen & enquire.
But then it is also long stretches & potentially, piles of pillows; and teaching it involves more than putting someone in a pose & waiting for 5 minutes.

Led by Anne Eberhardt, this 50hrs Yin Yoga Training aims at giving certified yoga teachers or curious practitioners the knowledge, experience & tools to expand their teachings or self-practice to the world of yin yoga.

Anne's approach to 'all the Yin' is a combinaison of traditional yin practices, myofascial release (MFR), restorative yoga & pranayama.
This training provides you with the foundation of knowledge & tools to understand the philosophical roots of the practice, the anatomy behind it, to apply the tools of yoga/breathing/MFR that support it & to gain the methodology to share it with others in a safe & authentic way.

To me Yin means befriending the slowness, the non-doing, the Being with oneself. It is a place of simplicity that gives access to the deeper layers of truth that often lie beneath our busyness. When I hear that "yin is the lazy yoga", I smile for I believe this practice can bring more challenges & breakthroughs than most active practices; as we know, 'simple' is rarely 'easy'. In a world that wants everything to get better, faster, stronger, choosing to slow down, enquire & be with what is takes even more commitment. Yet it is so needed.

My approach to this practice blends the Western knowledge on fascia, nervous system down regulation & the science of stretching with the wisdom, energetic balancing & philosophies of Eastern traditions of Yoga & TCM. This training is an invitation to embrace the more gentle side of our practice, to dive into the power of nourishment for yourself & others.
