Yin Therapy - Restorative Yoga Teacher Training - Seminarhaus Pegasus, North Germany
(in German)

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward." - Spanish proverb
”Hacer nada; que bueno es, despues descansar, aun mejor.”

In our fast-paced, performance-oriented, crisis-ridden lives, we often feel alone, overwhelmed and stressed.

Our response to this is often to demand more of ourselves, to want to go higher, faster and further. The result is often deep physical and mental exhaustion.

Yin Therapy consciously takes the opposite approach to create awareness of the imbalance in the body and mind through meditation, contemplation, restorative yoga and yin yoga. We begin to feel again what we need in life and learn to distinguish between the essential and the inessential.

REST – RESTORE – REGENERATE

Restorative yoga is the art of resting. Pause, let go and surrender to quiet contemplation. The passive lying postures put you in a state of mental introspection and physical relaxation. Cells regenerate and an inner balance is restored. You slowly move from a state of doing to a state of being. Restorative yoga, in its passivity, is the perfect balance to our often stressful, activity-driven world.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Lao-tzu)

Welcome to Yin Therapy - Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
This 50-hour intensive program (6 days) comprises 5 segments:

1. Restorative Asanas

“In stillness, the muddied water returns to clarity.” – Lao Tzu

Learn how to set up a restorative class and how to set up the fundamental restorative asanas in the supine, side and prone positions for each person individually.

2. The Practice

“No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.” - Taoist proverb

During the training, experience the benefits of a restorative practice on your own body and mind through various guided restorative classes. Long postures of up to 30 minutes put you in a state of calm introspection and regeneration. It will be a retreat and a journey to yourself.

3. The Autonomic Nervous System

"An anxious mind cannot exist in a relaxed body."
- Dr. Edmund Jacobson

Restorative yoga is the "Art of Resting." Discover how the autonomic nervous system is down-regulated and relaxed in a quiet practice (relaxation response) and thus offers the balance for a fast, performance-oriented world.

4. Just One Blanket

Not every studio is equipped with many tools. Hence, why we show different options for how to achieve down-regulation of the nervous system with just one blanket.

5. The Theory

• What is Restorative Yoga?

• What is the difference to Yin Yoga?

• Creating gentle transitions and neutral sensations

• How long does a restorative posture last?

• Create and maintain space

• A safe learning and teaching environment

• Sustainability

Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training I - YogaCulture, Zurich
(in German)

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” (Confucius)

This 6 day / 50 hour certified module is intended to deepen our understanding of Yin Yoga through the experiential, practical and theoretical application. We study in depth the 20+ basic yin yoga poses and discover a sense of security and deepen our ability to effectively practice and teach, through developing an anatomical awareness and understanding of skeletal variation.

We learn to employ the 7 point analysis principle to understand each yoga pose as well as the individual and unique bodies of not only ourselves but also our students. In turn this enables us to offer logical assists and variations.  Anatomy is the key. 

Welcome to Yin Yoga Teacher Training I
This 50-hour intensive yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 4 sections:

1. Yin Yoga Asanas

This section covers the theory and practice for teaching 20+ yin yoga poses, including their specific characteristics and their effects.

2. Anatomy is the Key

Anatomical understanding of not only the individual bone structure but also the muscular, connective, fascial and ligament tissues is an essential prerequisite for an effective yoga teacher.

3. 7-Point Analysing Principle for Assists - Theory

This course focuses less on teaching set assists and much more on introducing a 7-Point Analysing Principle, which you can then use for every known yoga pose and for each individual student.

4. 7-Point Analysing Principle - Practical Tests

In this Yin Yoga and Anatomy Teacher Training, we study and apply a series of practical tests for analysing the bone structure, compression and tension of our students.  We will have the opportunity to learn – in a safe environment – to read a human being, to sense our own limitations and to test and recognise those of others.  Eventually, with the benefit of myriad insights and enhanced self-awareness, we will be able to assess the needs and limitations of any individual student.

The foundation has been laid.

Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training II - YogaCulture, Zurich
(in German)

"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand." (Confucius)

Confucius’ saying reflects the emphasis of this particular Yin Yoga Teacher Training where the focus is on sensing, feeling, experiencing the yin yoga practice and the unique anatomy of our individual bone structure for ourselves.  You will be analysing yourselves and each other, conducting passive assists as well as experiencing compression and tension amongst your fellow students.  Through this very much hands on, practical approach your knowledge and understanding will be increased tenfold.

Welcome to Yin Yoga Teacher Training II
This 50-hour intensive certified yoga teaching course (6 days) comprises 6 sections:

1. Yin Yoga Asanas

In this continuance of our yin yoga teacher training programme, we concentrate mainly on the 9 awareness points of functional yoga.

In this Yin Yoga teacher training, we focus on various points of attention in the functional yoga asana practice. While Module I focused on the technical and mechanical understanding of the asanas, Module II focuses on feeling and experiencing the physical, energetic and emotional body during a practice.

2. Anatomy is the Key

As well as analysing compression, we’ll study the tension of the muscular and fascial tissues and the effect of these on the asana practice.  This will allow us to offer our students logical assists.

3. Biomechanics in Yin Yoga

Why do we practice Yang and Yin Yoga Asanas from a physical perspective? We explain what an optimal workout should look like according to the latest findings.

4. Emotions during Hip Openers

Why can things suddenly become emotional during a hip opener class, during backbends or during long-held asanas? In this segment we look at how stress and trauma are processed in the body and how a yoga asana can bring them to the surface and be released.

5. Passive Assists

In section 5 we learn passive, hand-on assists.

6. Yin Therapy - Personal Training

In YYTT II, we establish a basic understanding of how – using Yin Therapy's approach – we can employ the therapeutic elements of Yin Yoga to support our students’ individual and specific physical and emotional issues. According to statistics, 25% of the yoga students who come to us took up yoga originally precisely because they have these specific problems.

7. Practical Meditation

In this segment, we explain morning meditation in detail and identify its allies and adversaries. We also provide practical meditation tips (location, time, length, etc.) and how to establish a regular meditation practice.
