YIN YOGA & ANATOMY TEACHER TRAINING | MODULE 1

6 DAY/50 HOUR CERTIFIED TEACHER TRAINING – BASED ON THE TEACHINGS OF PAUL & SUZEE GRILLEY

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 apply the 7-Point Analysing 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 AND ANATOMY – THE QUIET PRACTICE

(in English with Vietnamese translation)

“In the quietude lies the power and out of the quietude arises the power.” (Confucius)
– Yin yoga – the quiet practice – turns our attention inwards, to connect to the true essence of ourselves.
– We practise yin yoga meditatively, using long-held poses without muscle tension, which strengthen and flex our connective, fascial and ligament tissues, mobilise our joints, and stimulate and soothe the nervous system. As a result, the exercises we do have a stress-reducing and regenerative effect.

– We learn how to accumulate the subtle energy flow (chi flow) and to feel the enhanced energy flow in our meridians after completing a yoga practice. This practice nourishes us from our core, with a blend of awareness, calmness and relaxation.

– In the fast-paced world of the 21st century, yin yoga offers the perfect balance for teachers and students alike.

This 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course

Comprises 4 Sections

Yin Yoga Asanas

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

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.

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.

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.

Testimonials

Students participate

I feel blessed to have just completed the 200 hrs YYTT with Markus and Karin. They are inspirational teachers, with great warmth and humour, who live and breathe what they teach. The course was a full immersion in the world of Yin Yoga. I gained a very workable knowledge of anatomy, a true insight into the uniqueness of every "body", and a clear understanding what it means to be an authentic yin yoga teacher. I was inspired and look forward to sharing what I have learnt.

I highly, highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in diving deep into the foundations of Yin Yoga or who simply wants to experience the world-class teaching offered by Markus. This was hands down one of the best courses I have ever done and I cannot wait to be back for Module II, for which I will travel to Germany all the way from Canada. Markus is a well of knowledge on all things (Yin) Yoga, has fascinating stories to tell, is hilariously funny, extremely compassionate and kind. I can honestly say I learned much more than 50 hours’ worth. Thank you!

Hương vị của khoá học Yin yoga và Antomy 50h. Như ly rượu mạnh nhưng vẫn còn nồng ấm hương say. Trên đường đi, cùng đồng hành trong tất cả những lần dừng lại và bắt đầu là những người Thầy cô cả nhiều người bạn mang đến cho mình sức mạnh bước tiếp. Thật sự biết ơn những người Thầy cô, những người bạn đã dạy cho mình. Một khoá học thật bổ ích học được nhiều kiến thức hay. Yin yoga lắng nghe tiếng động của thinh không để rồi nhận ra chúng ta không phải tâm trí này, không phải những cảm xúc này, không phải nhận định hay phán xét này, mà là một điều gì đó lớn lao hơn thế.

Một Khoá Học thật bổ ích và được lĩnh hội nhiều kiến thức hay không chỉ về Yin mà còn về kiến thức Anatomy. Thật sự mê cách mà Thầy, Cô hướng dẫn, truyền tải nội dung một cách dễ hiểu, dễ tiếp cận. Biết ơn đơn vị tổ chức Triết Phương Trần Hưng Yoga Pham Van Ngoc , biết ơn các Anh Chị Bạn học cùng khoá này, bản thân đã được gặp nhiều người bạn mới, người Chị Lucia- Hồng Thuỷ đồng hành cùng trong khoá, và biết ơn 2 bạn phiên dịch dễ thương.
