"Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence... So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there. Nor are we in touch with the basic rhythms that constitute our bodily life. We live outside ourselves - in our heads, our memories, our longings - absentee landlords of our own estate."
Gabrielle Roth

Who Is This For?

We have developed Yinbody for you!

Yinbody is geared towards yoga teachers who have their minimum 200hrs yoga teacher training (YTT) – as a professional development tool to kickstart your Yin Yoga path or expand your existing teaching in this area from a deep authentic and unique space. 

Interested yoga practitioners will find this course powerful as a way to deepen their own experience of Yin Yoga, expand their understanding of the practice and gain insight into teaching. Please note - this is not a training that sets you up you to teach Yin Yoga if you have not done your full YTT. 

Things are rather interesting at the moment. If you are feeling a bit unsettled right now, not as fully grounded in the practices that help to keep you centred (like pretty much all of us) - the course could be an opportunity to press reset and reconnect. Inspire your teaching and get back out there. 

Or perhaps you have lost touch a little with your personal practice as a teacher and not feeling the flow in your body as you have previously? 

We understand the ‘not so linear’ path of growth, and how further education, and alignment within yourself adds to your evolution as a facilitator, teacher and guide.
 
Yinbody offers you 20 hours of content to help to upgrade your teaching, expand your capacity and express your authentic self. 

Go at your own pace - move through the course in a structured way or jump right into the juicy stuff!

What Actually Is Yinbody?!!

Yin + Embody = Yinbody

Embody
To be embodied is to be grounded and present in the moment. Connected to one’s body and the Earth. Present with interoception (internal experience) and exteroception (the experience of the environment outside of the body). To be embodied is to be with the physical, mental and emotional experience in the now. Being with the breath.   

Yin
Yin is the feminine, the dark side of the hill, the sacred mystery. Yin is the receptive principle - of surrender, flow, nourishment, death and resurrection.
 
Yinbody
Yinbody is a modern Yin Yoga practice with grounded roots in:
  • Traditional Hindu yogic teachings
  • Buddhist practices like mindfulness
  • Woven with ancient Taoist and Traditional Chinese Medicine ideologies
  • Western anatomical knowledge and 
  • Evidence base trauma informed practice 
In Yinbody, you will use energetic and breath practices to enhance your students experience in Yin. These integrative practices combined with intelligent intuitive sequencing facilitate intentional and powerful Yin Yoga classes. 

Teaching Yinbody brings in a fresh, contemporary flavour for the modern context, but it is not just a type or style of yoga. Yinbody is an approach to teaching yoga (and more broadly an approach to life) that is both philosophical and experiential. 

In this course you will delve into a journey through the Embody Wellbeing principles:
  • Grounding and Presence 
  • The Namaste Principle 
  • Transformation through Integration
  • Structure and Form, and Flow
  • Surrender and Grace

The Four Yinbody Groups

We work with 21 Yin Yoga poses in Yinbody but there are many more and endless variations – these are simply the foundation for you to build on. 

To develop a structure for integrated, embodied learning, we categorised Yin poses into the Yinbody Groups according to their key energetic properties. 

The Yinbody Groups are:
  1. The Healing Void
  2. The Open Heart 
  3. Inner Space
  4. Transformation and Awakening

21 How-to Videos

Practice along with these teaching videos.

Learn how to cue Yin poses in a deeply expressive embodied way.

Every video includes the variations, benefits, cautions and key meridian lines for the pose. 

Comprehensive Manual

This manual covers what is taught through each online lesson in one place. 

It takes you through the foundations of teaching Yin Yoga, sequencing, theming, communication, advanced teaching tools, contraindications, breathwork and so much more!  

For those who want to dive deeper into Yin philosophy and anatomy, there are detailed handouts to explore.

How to Work Through Yinbody...

You can work from start to finish with this course as it is set up in building blocks and creates a learning framework to move through. Or...

You can also jump around as much as you feel to, going at your pace, in your own time. Selecting parts that feel like they call you.

After the Intro Section, the course commences with a refresher 101 to yoga and its different components and introduces the basics of Yin Yoga. It then moves into exactly how to teach Yin Yoga and the specific class structure, principles and sequencing that makes Yinbody unique and nuances of teaching such as timing. Download Trauma Aware Practices handout to increase your understanding of trauma informed teaching.

The Transformation from The Inside section will support you through powerful processes, contemporary breathwork and deep journeys to help you (re)find your True North. Open the door for you to more deeply embody yourself. There are experiential self reflective practices based on the Embody Wellbeing principles, and powerful processes including The Path. You may want to work slowly through these over weeks, rather than 'do' them in order.

The Yoga Teacher Upgrade includes yoga communication, teaching tips, mindful awareness and meditation, yoga nidra, breathwork, the healing art of assisting, plus class themes and philosophy with loads of ideas for keeping your teaching fresh. Take your time with this section.

In the end of the course is the video library with 21 high quality videos that take you through how to teach the pose in an embodied way, the modifications and props for the pose and outlines some benefits, cautions and meridians for each pose as well. These have been designed for you to roll out your mat and practice with - doing the different modifications and working with the props as you move through each pose. 

This supports you to really get the pose in your body and explore in an integrated and embodied way.

Minimise the risk of harm and learn how to better support your students.
