Contemplation & Yin Yoga – for Practitioners (4 hours) and Yin Yoga Teachers (8 hours)

Date to be determined   10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Host Studio

This workshop is for you if you are craving softening, inner knowing, and the gift of true introspection.

 

Join us for a deepening journey for Yin Yoga practitioners who want to nourish their self-practice, and a continuing education workshop for certified Yin Yoga teachers. (8 hours with completion of homework).

Rooted in the themes of meaningful inner work, this training is based on the book Permission – A Yin Yoga Journey to Self, which is included with your registration. The book offers 52 unique weekly yin practices paired with contemplations that invite you to turn inward and get more from your time on the mat.

The Heart of the Training

Yin Yoga + Contemplation = Permission
A Yin Yoga Journey to Self

By blending Yin Yoga with contemplative inquiry, we open the door to meeting our resistance with compassion and to expanding our capacity for self-trust, simplicity, and joy. These practices are far more than physical shapes—they are invitations to slow down, listen deeply, and soften the edges between body, mind, and heart.

Together, we will explore:

  • The power and process of introspection

  • The art of sacred inquiry—pausing within stillness to hear the quiet truths beneath the mind

  • How yin yoga and contemplation work together to reveal insight, steadiness, and the wisdom of the Sacred Heart

This workshop lays the foundation for an ongoing inner pilgrimage—your own journey to self—and supports you in guiding others with authenticity and presence.

Certification

Certified Yin Yoga Teachers will receive 8 hours of Continuing Education upon completion of a 4 hour homework assignment.
