Mindful Yin Yoga Teacher Training
100 Hour Training
Become Certified and Deepen your Study of Mindful Yin Yoga
Whether you're an experienced yin yoga teacher looking to continue your yin yoga education, or you simply want to deepen your personal practice, this in-depth 100 hour training will take your yin yoga study to the next level with inspiring new topics of study, a solid framework, and personalized guidance.
This comprehensive training runs over the course of one year. It covers a vast array of topics relevant to yin yoga through a series of 7 training modules and an optional practicum.
This training is guided by Jennifer Raye, an experienced yin yoga teacher trainer, mindfulness teacher, and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. Our yoga school is registered with the Yoga Alliance and is a continuing education YACEP provider.
Each training module is offered through a mixture of live online classes, pre-recorded lessons, and live Q&A. Each module also includes a detailed comprehensive manual.
This module covers the core principles of yin yoga practice including a breakdown of all major yin postures, modifications, variations, counterposes, props, yin yoga theory, contraindications, and sequencing. We will also briefly cover the Chinese Medicine meridians, five elements of Chinese and Taoist medicine, and the foundations for mindfulness.
This module covers Chinese Medicine theory as it relates to yin yoga practice. We'll cover in detail, the function of the subtle energetic body, including the three treasures (Qi, Jing, and Shen), and the vital substances (Blood, Body fluids etc.). We'll study the organs, meridians, and acupressure points in depth. You'll also learn speific yin yoga sequences and identify patterns based on the eight principles of Chinese Medicine.
In this module we explore the profound insights of Ayurveda, the sister science and medical system of yoga. Examine gunas (qualities), dhatus (tissue layers), and vikriti/prakriti (constitution/imbalance), and relate this information to your yin yoga practice and teaching. We'll dive into personal wellbeing, and daily/seasonal habits all from the perspective of this "science of life".
In this module we'll investigate yin yoga anatomy and the myo-fascial planes of the body. These anatomical planes correlate with the energetic mapping of the body and are a wonderful way to understand how movements (including yoga postures) affect the physical structure of the body. These planes also provide a helpful map when working with the body therapeutically and addressing specific imbalances.
This module covers practicing and teaching mindfulness as a part of yin yoga practice. Modern and traditional meditation techniques will be offered along with a thorough breakdown of the four foundations of mindfulness, and hindrances to practice. Students will learn to integrate the practice of mindfulness into their yin yoga teaching and study to create deeply healing and transformative classes.
This module examines the impact of trauma on the mind-body, vagus nerve, and nervous system as a whole. We'll look at how we can use our practices of yin yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork for healing. We will explore current research in psychology, somatics, and neurology, and look at when and how to bring these tools into your yin yoga practice and teaching.
In this module we'll cover Buddhism as a nuanced system of psychology, and the five "spirits" according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. These models provide a detailed map for psycho-spiritual self understanding, and they help to bridge the body, mind, emotions, and spirit within the yin yoga practice.
This module provides the final 10 hours of the 100 hour program for those wishing to receive certification.

PAST STUDENTS FROM YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING:
"Jennifer is a master teacher with a great command of the topic, skill, and learning process. She demonstrates wisdom of knowing and integration of practice. The information was communicated in a clear concise way introducing very complicated theory/subject matter in simple, yet complete terms and context. The experiential nature of the learning process is captured in the audio and video practices. The visuals and sound are clear and Jennifer executes each lesson in a relaxed, aligned and easy to follow way. Yes, I recommend this course!
I absolutely loved Jennifer's course! Her approach to Yin was beautiful and she provided more information than I expected to receive. Not only that but her suggestions for what to take a deeper look into to expand the practice were inspirational.
I am happy that continued access to the course is available since it was overflowing with details. I can only imagine how reviewing it again in the coming weeks and months will only strengthen my practice and teachings. One of the things I appreciated most about the course is how many variations Jennifer provided for each pose. It will really come in handy since my students are mostly beginner and less flexible. It will allow me to teach in a way that is accessible to all levels, which will certainly help me feel more confident as a teacher. If you are considering learning Yin, I highly recommend you start with this. Jennifer is an incredible teacher and I am so grateful I came across her course!"

"I would absolutely recommend this course. Jennifer is an exceptional teacher who brings many years' of experience to her students. She fully embodies her teachings and is someone I would study with again in the future. The specific feature I liked best about the course was the knowledge of the teacher and her ability to expand my understanding of Yin yoga. My personal practice has changed. I now better understand and value the importance of sustained holds in the poses and the integration of proper breathing. Thank you. Namaste & Metta!""
"I would recommend this course. I feel like I learned more for mindfulness practice in general and inspiration to work with meridians when teaching yin. It's a lovely, thought-out course with not only yin, but with great info on mindfulness and meridians. I also like that I could download the pdf's, audios & videos and that you have a background in TCM ...that's what drew me to your training."
