Mindful Yin Yoga Teacher Training
100 Hour Training
Starts January 2025
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 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 ten months and covers a wide array of topics relevant to yin yoga through a series of six main training modules and an optional practicum.
This training is guided by Jennifer Raye, a yin yoga and mindfulness teacher trainer and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with over 15 years of experience teaching yin yoga and mindfulness and nearly 20 years of clinical experience. Our yoga school is registered with the Yoga Alliance and is a continuing education YACEP provider.
Each training module includes a detailed comprehensive manual, live online classes, pre-recorded lessons, and live Q&A.
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 medicine and Taoism, 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 and the vital substances. 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'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.
The practicum includes one on one time over zoom with Jennifer, some time for reading and
reflection, and a small self directed assignment.

PAST STUDENTS FROM the 100 HOUR YIN YOGA TRAINING:
"Jennifer is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge from her years of study and practice, which she very generously shares in this well-paced, thoughtfully structured course. Participating in this course has benefited both my personal practice and my teaching. I have uncovered more layers, depth and subtlety in my practice and understanding of yoga, movement and the connection between body and mind. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to dive more deeply into the world of yin yoga, somatics, TCM, Ayurveda and mindfulness."
"It's hard to say which specific features I liked best, as I enjoyed the whole course and the way each module flowed into another. The course is so well designed and goes deeply into subjects that support your yin practices beautifully. Also, Jennifers vast knowledge goes far beyond the principles of yin yoga, sharing both TCM/Ayurveda and Buddhist modalities that make this course so rich and interesting. Her calm and steady spirit makes it so easy to study with her. The online platform is great for me as I have 2 children. I can fit my studies around them, making it super flexible and with no need to travel. I don't feel there's anything missing from this course."

MORE STUDENT FEEDBACK from the 100 HOUR TRAINING:
""Yes, I would recommend. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and I enjoy her teaching style which combines the theoretical with the practical. She offers various opportunities and types of learning experiences, that meet all needs. I enjoyed the whole course. My teaching is becoming much richer and deeper as a result of what I have learned from Jennifer about the physical body (anatomy), the mind, and how these are affected through the practice of mindful yin yoga."

"The whole course was amazing! The information is so concise and presented in a way that is understandable without prior knowledge on many of the topics. For me, I loved learning about TCM, meridian systems, nervous system and all the connections among the various school of thought. As a retired teacher, now yoga instructor, I love to learn new things for myself and to pass on to my students. All of Jennifer's programs do this. Every aspect of the course was well explained and Jennifer's personality is so caring and professional. The information is so thorough, the approach is gentle and I never feel out of my comfort zone with her style and approach toward her students. To me, that is key to being a successful teacher. Jennifer's passion is evident in all she does. I highly recommend this training for a complete experience into the world of yoga and learning to care for self while sharing it with those in our lives.""
