Unlock a new way of instructing

through understanding functional anatomy,
philosophy of Yin Yoga, key concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine
and Yin yoga teaching methodology.

Deepen your understanding of your student's abilities and limitations so that they keep returning to their mat.

Yin Yoga is on the rise because people are beginning to understand that true health and wellbeing is dependent on finding balance in all aspects of life. There is a growing wisdom that dynamic activities, including dynamic styles of yoga, must be tempered with slower practices such as Yin Yoga and meditation. 

Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Leonie Lockwood

For open-minded, curious yoga teachers and students

Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to teach yoga, one that doesn’t involve putting your students into uncomfortable, unsustainable postures?

Maybe you’ve considered teacher training, but it’s been hard to find like-minded, compassionate and curious people and an inclusive space to learn.

Would you love to arm yourself with new skills, but also build connections, exchange ideas and ask questions in an intimate environment, not be just one of many in a crowded course?

Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Leonie is supportive and comprehensive. Understanding the uniqueness of your own and others bodies is key to transforming your own practice and your teaching style. Yoga teachers can apply the knowledge gained in these courses for the benefit of their students in all styles of yoga.

Leonie Lockwood

Yin Yoga Teacher & Trainer

Yoga profoundly changed my life. And learning Yin Yoga profoundly changed my teaching. It changed to a more inclusive approach, where ALL students felt supported, not just the bendy few.

Studying with my teachers Paul & Suzee Grilley (founders of Yin Yoga), my eyes were opened to new and inclusive ways in which to share my love of yoga.

It's now my mission to share these concepts with other yoga teachers and keen Yin yoga students.

Leonie teaches in a very human and accessible way. While the information is thorough, there is also humour and flair which helps to engage students and keep them interested.

Leonie has a wealth of knowledge and an innate understanding of the vastness of Yin Yoga. She has given me all the tools I need as well as an understanding of the complexity and subtleties of this practice on all it's levels - physical, mental, emotional, energetic. I am very grateful to have had this training and learning.

Leonie's depth of knowledge on all things Yin is phenomenal. Her direct connection to the founders of Yin adds an authenticity to the course that I am sure is unmatched in Melbourne.
