IN-STUDIO TRAINING
New date to be announced for Fall 2025
The Foundation of Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga begins as a physical practice through which people learn to listen to their own body, and discover the vast wisdom held therein. The physical practice is founded on the principle of relaxing muscular effort, allowing gentle stretches to move into the deep connective tissue. Chronic Muscular Tension blocks access to the deeper connective tissues
An Integrative Experience
Chronic Muscular Tension (often invisible) inhibits our yin practice, and can lead to injury, causing frustrate students to abandon Yin yoga. Somatic Yin addresses the source of chronic muscular tension. It creates an integrative experience helping students safely enjoy the full depth of their yin yoga practice.

- Chronic Muscular Tension, and its impacts, Sensory Motor Amnesia – (the source of Chronic Muscular Tension), & Pandiculation (the means whereby we dissolve Chronic Muscular Tension)
