Dee and I are delighted to invite you to our second Yin Yoga Teacher Training.

The course will run over 5 days and will cover: Traditional Hatha Yoga in the shapes that we make Traditional Chinese Medicine by bringing the awareness to Meridians or pathways that flow through our body Taoist 5 Element Theory showing us how we are connected to our environment and nature Mindfulness from Tibetan Buddism – allowing everything to be just as it is in this present moment.

The fascia is like a network holding your internal body together. The Fascia is directly responsible for our flexibility which becomes a little more dense as we age.

We will explore all of these changes in the course and guide you how to plan and offer safe and effective classes where women will feel seen and heard. Pregnancy yoga isn’t just about Asana, it is about well being. Saying that women want to feel that they are still using their bodies right up to birth, and keeping in shape with the Asana. For this reason some of the Asanas are still challenging, but we need to understand modifications and relevant alternatives. Pregnancy Yoga can change a womans birth and pregnancy experience.
