Yin Yoga is a profound and meditative style of yoga that complements the dynamic and active practices by focusing on slow, mindful, and sustained postures held for extended periods. Rooted in ancient Taoist traditions and modern yoga philosophy, Yin Yoga aims to target the deeper connective tissues of the body—such as ligaments, fascia, and joints—promoting increased flexibility, joint mobility, and overall balance within the body's energetic systems.
This practice encourages practitioners to cultivate patience, mindfulness, and inner stillness, allowing both the body and mind to release tension and restore harmony. By integrating principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga works with the meridian pathways, enhancing the flow of life energy (“Qi”) to support physical health and emotional well-being.
At Patanjali International Yoga Foundation, we honor Yin Yoga as a vital practice that deepens the yogic experience, fostering a holistic approach to wellness that unites body, breath, and consciousness in a gentle yet transformative journey toward self-awareness and inner peace.
The Yin Yoga training offered by Patanjali International Yoga Foundation provides a comprehensive and immersive journey into the philosophy and science of this deeply restorative practice.
Designed for yoga practitioners, teachers, and wellness professionals, the training delves into the philosophy, anatomy, and energetic principles underlying Yin Yoga, emphasizing the importance of long-held postures that target connective tissues and stimulate the body’s meridian system.
Participants will learn how to safely guide students through mindful, meditative sequences that promote flexibility, joint health, and emotional balance, while cultivating patience and inner stillness. The course integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts with modern yogic wisdom, offering practical tools for sequencing, breathwork, and meditation to create balanced and healing classes.
Through a blend of theoretical study and experiential practice, this training equips students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to teach Yin Yoga thoughtfully and effectively, supporting holistic well-being and deepening the transformational potential of the yogic path.
The goal of our 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training is to empower you with the confidence and skills needed to teach Yin Yoga at any level, anywhere in the world. We want you to feel fully prepared and inspired to share this practice with others.
