Are you interested in learning more about Yin Yoga as a whole!? This continued education certified workshop will include a 3-hour survey of Yin Yoga, led by Yin Yoga instructor, Ashleigh Humphrey. In it, we’ll dive into the yin/yang theory, the history of Yin Yoga (and what makes it unique from restorative yoga), the physical + energetic benefits, the different “yin” postures, Traditional Chinese Medicine and its connection to Yin Yoga, and more. Students will also learn the components of a Yin Yoga class, as well as a discussion of my most used modifications + prop suggestions. This offering will be a blend of lecture + demonstration and will be an opportunity for curious students or teachers to scratch the surface of the “why” behind Yin Yoga. Whether you’re a practitioner looking to understand Yin Yoga on a deeper level, or curious about teaching Yin Yoga classes in general, this workshop is for you.
