Join Yoga Vie and Tina Ventrella for an in-depth training on teaching yin yoga. More than just passive stretches, yin yoga brings a more meditative aspect of asana to the forefront of your practice. With a focus on stretching connective tissue around the joints, Yin Yoga involves variations of seated and supine poses typically held for 3 to 5 minutes, accessing deeper layers of fascia. Learn how this practice can benefit the organs, muscles, joints, and tendons of the body- as well as the mind.

In-depth discussion - 'What is Yin Yoga', philosophy behind the practice, balance of yin and yang
Difference between Yin and Restorative
Discussion of fascia, the many different definitions, roles, perspectives from Geneva Fascial Congress
Discussion of the differing anatomical presentation of each human
