Level 2 Yin Yoga Training

12/8 -12/15 | Meets daily 9 AM - 6 PM

Level 2 Overview

In this highly requested followup to our Level 1 Yin Yoga Teacher Training we are expanding on all topics covered in Level 1, brining more depth and nuance to your teaching repertoire. Level 2 will also introduce several new areas to explore in conjunction with your Yin Yoga teaching and practice. Our aim in crafting this curriculum was to echo the experience of your Level 1 providing the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate your body over a week of in-depth Yin Yoga practice while also enriching and refining your skills for you to bring new treasures back to share with your students.

Level 2 training requires that you have completed the entirety of the Level 1 program with TJ. Students are allowed (and encouraged) to sign up for both trainings back to back!

The training consists of 4 primary formats of imbuing the content. Our focus is on practicing the content via guided Yin sessions and Meditation techniques alongside significant practice of each pose in our Asana Lab. Providing the groundwork for the practice are the lectures which are presented via projector and slide show. Dialogue plays an important role throughout in connecting the content with each student and addressing their questions. Finally the course requires some at home study prior to and during the training to ensure that the individual students are processing the material in their own way. This is accomplished through readings, journaling and an essay. There are no formal tests in the course as we maintain an ongoing evaluation of student comprehension through various means including the Teaching Practicum at the end (don’t worry we keep it super casual and are there to support you in each moment).

“TJ's Yin teacher training is organized and informative while also being grounded in personal experience.  TJ offers students background on traditions that have contributed to the Yin practice while also giving students space to shape their own understanding of Yin.  TJ cultivates a real sense of community in the trainings and encourages students to support one another and grow even after graduating from the course.  Despite his experience studying under some of the most iconic teachers of the Yin practice, TJ exudes a spirit of humility, kindness, and playfulness.  TJ is a great facilitator, and his training is as accessible to newer students as it is to the most experienced yoga teachers.”
