You don't need to do Yin yoga teacher training

There. I said it.

And I'm a Yin yoga educator.

But if you want to be a yin yoga teacher who provides enormous value to the students that present at your classes, then it helps to have more than a cursory knowledge of the subject.

After all, Yin yoga looks pretty easy to teach from an outsider's point of view. Simply cue your students into a pose, tell them to stay for about 5 minutes, murmur a few encouraging phrases whilst watching the time, and then cue them out. It's then rest time for a minute or two and then the cycle begins again with the next pose. Oh, add in a backdrop of calming music and Bob's your uncle.

Except. It's. Not. That. Simple.

Paul Grilley, founder of Yin yoga, reminds teachers that "You don't have to be more advanced physically, emotionally or spiritually than your students. But you do need to provide a safe place for them to practice."

Now the feelings of safety come from a range of places, not the least being that your teacher knows how to put a class together that encompasses all students in the space. If your head is above water whilst your teaching but you're peddling furiously underneath each and every class, then it's likely that you're not providing the type of quality class that you've dreamed of for your students.

Once you understand the essential, basic frameworks to build safe Yin yoga classes then it just takes your motivation, presence and practice to deliver well-considered, safe and inspirational classes for your students.

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.
