For passionate and curious students or yoga teachers who want to dive deep and expand their knowledge and understanding about the practice of Yin Yoga. Starting with the foundational principles taught in Yin Yoga Teacher Training Level 1, we’ll contemplate Yin Yoga practice, teaching, and philosophy in more depth. This training will include pranayama, meditation & asana practice, theory & discussion, application to the teaching process, and homework assignments.

We will cover:

- An expansive look at language. Become focused and intentional about giving guidance and instruction in a way that is trauma informed, inclusive and accessible.
