This form of yoga is more passive than vinyasa, but equally challenging with longer holds and a commitment to stillness. It is a perfect type of practice to balance more intense activity, as it targets deep connective tissue (fascia, tendons, and ligaments). This quiet practice will ease you into your parasympathetic nervous system and help you both lengthen and strengthen. With or without the use of props, it is accessible to experienced and new students alike.
This 50 hour training is meant to deepen and expand both your personal yoga practice and your teaching, by introducing you to yin yoga and its benefits. During the weekends together we will cover: - the tenets of yin - the impact of compression and tension - the core poses including:
- anatomy of the pose
- target areas for each pose
- modifications and variations of the poses
We will also explore Yin class development/sequencing and design options for yin/yang classes.
You will participate in practice sessions to experience the poses in your body, as well as have opportunities to see the pose in different bodies. You will also gain experience teaching the poses and building intentional sequences (with feedback). The new world of Yin will be touched upon, including teaching prop-less class and including yin poses for the upper body. Finally, you will have the time and space to begin to explore your Yin voice and experience a variety of ways to teach Yin yoga.
This training includes a one-on-one session to review a class sequence you have developed, where you will have the chance to ask questions and receive feedback.
About Kari Morgan:
Kari fell in love with yoga as a recovery took after her first knee surgery almost 18 years ago. A self-identified anatomy geek and an avid learner, she entered into a 200-hour YTT with Halifax Yoga and hit the ground running as a Vinyasa teacher. Her love for Yin yoga came a little later, as a balancing point for an active life and busy mind. Kari believes that yoga can be an amazing tool for every BODY so she helps students to connect how each pose can be supported by their unique anatomy through understanding how it should feel in their body (as opposed to how it should look).
Kari has continued her learning after her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, having completed a 500-hour Training and over 190 hours of Yin training with Bernie Clark, Biff Mithoefer and Upper Body Yin training with a student of Paul Grilley- as a new area to explore that is so relevant to North America lifestyles.
