– Questions & Answers –

No, you do not need to have any previous yoga education. On every Yin Yoga course there is an introduction to the foundation of the practice and teaching of Yin Yoga as well as the body and its anatomy. The course builds upon this foundation to deepen the experiential learning of Yin Yoga.

Yes. There is a short break in between every session as well as a longer break for breakfast and lunch (for residential courses). There is free time after the course for relaxation. In between module 1 and 2 there is a day off to explore the surrounding environment.

No. Many students attend the course to get a better understanding of their practice, their body, mind and to develop their own spiritual journey. This course is a great opportunity to develop your yin and yoga practice and approach to life.

Yes. Upon successful completion of this course students are presented with a YACEP certification (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). You will be equipped with the fundamental knowledge of what it means to be a yin yoga teacher and how to put it into practice, in the shala, on the mat and in life.

This signature course has two modules:
1) Anatomy, Fascia and Function with Teaching Methodology
2) Chinese Medicine with Teaching Methodology

Within both modules there are theoretical and practical workshop training sessions on yin yoga practice, anatomy, fascia, asana breakdown, the art of teaching, yang yoga, intro to philosophy, Chinese Medicine, theory of qi, Intro to Daoism, history of Yin Yoga, group work sessions and other spiritually connected practices.

The mindfulness 100 hour course focuses on Yin Yoga with a deeper connection to meditation, mindfulness, neuroplasticity, pranayama, breathing and journal writing. This course focuses more on the mental dimension of the body, taking your journey of min-body connection much deeper. This course can be taken either in conjunction with the signature 100 hour course (if the courses are running in a row or in the same location) or as an additional course later on in your yoga journey.

The 200 hour is a course that focuses on Yin Yoga by taking a look at 5 different approaches which sync up with the 5 dimensions of the body. There are many ways to practice and teach Yin Yoga and focusing on anatomy (which is normally the structure of a yin yoga course) is only one way.

Yes. All teachers are different and all have different backgrounds, focus, experiences and educational specialities.

The courses given by Shanti Atma Yoga are very focused on developing ones foundation of yin yoga as a holistic practice, incorporating the 5 dimensions of the body (physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual). There is a heavy focus on teaching methodology and anatomy (fascia and myo-fascial release) which will then link on to some of the other courses and workshops offered.

If you are looking to develop your practice and fundamental understanding of yin yoga as an approach to yoga and life then this course will bring you close towards the level of experience that a class, retreat or workshop doesn’t have time to reach.

If you are looking to further your yin yoga teaching career then this is the perfect opportunity to break down all of the components involved in being a yin yoga teacher from asana, cueing, physical and energetic target areas, propping and making the practice available to every body type to the behaviour and responsibility of a (yin) yoga teacher.

Yes. In Yin Yoga we look at the functional approach to (yin) yoga and how we can integrate myo-fascial release, meditation and mindfulness into the physical, energetic, emotional and mental body. While having a background in anatomy will give you a strong foundation to dive deeper, this course takes different approaches to connect different realms together.

Self-studying is great and high recommended. This course will give you valuable one on one time with the teacher to ask any questions and raise any confusion or concerns, offering a level of support that is not so readily available in self-study. Becky encourages you to continue studying after the course based on your personal practice and professional goal.

“It was so good to be in a nurturing space to learn about Yin Yoga. Playing around with the postures using the props to fit my own body alignment was great. I loved that it is not a one size fits all “
