What you will learn

Equipping you with the tools and knowledge to start your own Yin yoga home practice

Learn how to modify or adjust different poses to best suit you and your needs

Giving you the confidence to attend a full Yin yoga class and/ or create your own Yin yoga sequence/ class

What Yin yoga is, how it is different to other forms of yoga and how to practice.

Why take this course?

This course is designed to complete beginners either new to yoga or Yin yoga, or those students wanting to dive a little deeper into Yin yoga. The course will give you the confidence and knowledge to start or expand on your Yin yoga practice.

This course would also be beneficial to teachers, looking to get a better understanding of Yin yoga and how it can be used to benefit their students.

Why practice Yin yoga?

  • Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the fascia, which supports the joints. This can help with joint health, mobility and range of motion - the reason Yin yoga often is referred to as 'Yoga of the Joints'.

  • Yin yoga calms the nervous system by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. This switches off our 'fight or flight' response, reducing feelings of anxiousness, stress and overwhelm.

  • Yin yoga can quieten a busy mind - the practice is a meditative practice and results in a lot of the same benefits as meditation. It is also a great way to build on or start a meditation practice.

By the end of the course you will:

- Know how to modify and adjust poses to best benefit you (this includes how to use props and household items to support you).

- Be confident in your home practice and be able to create your own Yin yoga sequences, if you like.

- Have an understanding of Yin yoga, what it is and how it can benefit you.

You'll receive:

  • x3 lessons on what Yin yoga is, the benefits, how to practice and how to prepare for the course.

  • A lesson on the meridians and how they relate to/ are used in Yin Yoga (plus example classes demonstrating how the meridians are used in Yin yoga).

  • x25 In-depth tutorials covering over 35 Yin yoga poses. Each tutorial will cover where the pose targets, how you can modify the pose and some alternative poses you can take.

  • x3 lessons on how to use breath work in your Yin yoga practice and some of the benefits of doing so.

  • Information and tips on meditation and how to incorporate this into your practice.

  • A downloadable guided relaxation (Yoga Nidra).

  • x3 self-led Yin yoga classes to get you started with your home practice.

  • x3 full length Yin yoga classes.

  • Over 7 hours of downloadable content (over 40 lectures), so you can learn and practice anywhere, at anytime.

  • Additional resources and PDFs

  • Lifetime access to the course including to any new or updated content.

You'll also receive two BONUS Yin yoga classes (in addition to those included in the course)

This is quite an in-depth course, which I plan to be updating based on feedback and suggestions. As you'll have lifetime access, you'll have access to all these updates and new content!

I'm offering an affordable launch price, which will give you lifetime access to the course, including access to any new or updated content. Making this offer a worthwhile investment into your health and wellbeing.

I got lots of different courses in Udemy and I usually don't leave a review. But this once really helps.

I highly recommend anyone that is learning how to practice yin to take this course. I have been practicing yin yoga for three years and this course is great for experienced people who practice yin yoga. I have learned several other options to do to when doing the yin yoga poses to suit my body needs. I will be reviewing the modifications of the yin yoga poses regularly. Thanks so much for sharing this course.

Yes I enjoyed Kelly's explanations of Yin Yoga although the sound wasn't easy to hear and I plugged into a sound system to be able to hear the lessons..

So far it has helped me to understand the Yin yoga and holding each pose and about the energy flowing through the body explaining the Meridian lines.
