Yin Yoga Class & Yin Yoga Teacher Training Presentation / Q&A
In Yin Yoga we consciously relax the muscular system using props in order to penetrate deeper into the connective tissue (fascia). When the muscles are relaxed, we then access the yin areas of the body, namely the bones, joints, tendons and fascia especially in the area from the navel to the knees, which is deeply expanded and restored through remaining in one position (posture) for longer than usual.
By learning to "stay" in the posture longer and longer, you offer yourself the time and space to listen and follow the natural structure of your body, while at the same time experiencing on an energetic level the free flow of chi (energy) through the meridians (energy channels) of the body.
The therapeutic dimension of Yin Yoga is clearly reflected in the philosophy that characterizes the postures it utilizes in order to get in touch with your body, your breath, your emotions and your state of mind.
This is precisely why the challenge in a Yin practice no longer lies in the advanced postures, as there is not even the concept of beginners and advanced practitioners. Instead, the challenge you are called upon to manage is surrendering to the Now.
Yin Yoga Teacher Training Presentation ~ Q&A
Recognizing your inherent desire to learn, self-improvement and connection to spirituality, this session will give you the opportunity to ask anything you need to know about the Training that will begin this February at Neda Yoga Shala.
What do you need to know before you take your first steps in Yin? What do you desire, what are you looking for, how do you connect with the teaching? What thoughts are on your mind? .... Maria Levantinou, teaching supervisor of the Certified Yin Yoga Teacher Training, will help as much as she can with any questions, queries, clarifications..
The 200-hour Yin Yoga Training Program is ideal for :
- Yoga teachers who wish to discover and specialize in a new therapeutic approach to yoga through the connection of Yin Yoga with advanced Taoist techniques and methods of releasing physical and emotional limitations.
- Experienced practitioners who want to deepen their practice and study of deeply physical and meditative techniques of Taoism and Zen Buddhism, enhancing their existing practice structure.
- Dedicated students who need to receive a comprehensive Training from the outset, understanding and transferring their high level knowledge as well as experience to others.
- Any person who wishes to open a new path to self understanding, growth and pleasure in the here and now.
Structure of the Educational Programme
The Program consists of three (3) Training Levels, focused on body, energy and mind. In a methodical manner, each Level provides high level knowledge and practices, gradually guiding students towards a purely self-healing process and conscious connection to their levels of being.
