Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training I - TPY International Yoga Academy, Ho Chi Minh City
(in English with Vietnamese translation)

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” (Confucius)

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 employ the 7 point analysis 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 & Anatomy Teacher Training I
This 50-hour intensive yoga teaching course (6 days) comprises 4 sections:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Yin Yoga & Anatomy Teacher Training II TPY International Yoga Academy, Ho Chi Minh City
(in English with Vietnamese translation)

"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand." (Confucius)

Confucius’ saying reflects the emphasis of this particular Yin Yoga Teacher Training where the focus is on sensing, feeling, experiencing the yin yoga practice and the unique anatomy of our individual bone structure for ourselves.  You will be analysing yourselves and each other, conducting passive assists as well as experiencing compression and tension amongst your fellow students.  Through this very much hands on, practical approach your knowledge and understanding will be increased tenfold.

Welcome to Yin Yoga Teacher Training II
This 50-hour intensive certified yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 6 sections:

1. Yin Yoga Asanas

In this continuance of our yin yoga teacher training programme, we concentrate mainly on the 9 awareness points of functional yoga.

In this Yin Yoga teacher training, we focus on various points of attention in the functional yoga asana practice. While Module I focused on the technical and mechanical understanding of the asanas, Module II focuses on feeling and experiencing the physical, energetic and emotional body during a practice.

2. Anatomy is the Key

As well as analysing compression, we’ll study the tension of the muscular and fascial tissues and the effect of these on the asana practice.  This will allow us to offer our students logical assists.

3. Biomechanics in Yin Yoga

Why do we practice Yang and Yin Yoga Asanas from a physical perspective? We explain what an optimal workout should look like according to the latest findings.

4. Emotions during Hip Openers

Why can things suddenly become emotional during a hip opener class, during backbends or during long-held asanas? In this segment we look at how stress and trauma are processed in the body and how a yoga asana can bring them to the surface and be released.

5. Passive Assists

In this section, we learn passive, hands-on assists.

6. Yin Therapy - Personal Training

In YYTT II, we establish a basic understanding of how – using Yin Therapy's approach – we can employ the therapeutic elements of Yin Yoga to support our students’ individual and specific physical and emotional issues.

According to statistics, 25% of the yoga students who come to us took up yoga originally precisely because they have these specific problems.

Yin Therapy - Restorative Yoga Teacher Training - Inside Yoga Frankfurt
(in German)

"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward." - Spanish proverb
”Hacer nada; que bueno es, despues descansar, aun mejor.”

In our fast-paced, performance-oriented, crisis-ridden lives, we often feel alone, overwhelmed and stressed.

Our response to this is often to demand more of ourselves, to want to go higher, faster and further. The result is often deep physical and mental exhaustion.

Yin Therapy consciously takes the opposite approach to create awareness of the imbalance in the body and mind through meditation, contemplation, restorative yoga and yin yoga. We begin to feel again what we need in life and learn to distinguish between the essential and the inessential.

REST – RESTORE – REGENERATE

Restorative yoga is the art of resting. Pause, let go and surrender to quiet contemplation. The passive lying postures put you in a state of mental introspection and physical relaxation. Cells regenerate and an inner balance is restored. You slowly move from a state of doing to a state of being. Restorative yoga, in its passivity, is the perfect balance to our often stressful, activity-driven world.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Lao-tzu)

Welcome to Yin Therapy - Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
This 50-hour intensive program (6 days) comprises 5 segments:

1. Restorative Asanas

“In stillness, the muddied water returns to clarity.” – Lao Tzu

Learn how to set up a restorative class and how to set up the fundamental restorative asanas in the supine, side and prone positions for each person individually.

2. The Practice

“No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.” - Taoist proverb

During the training, experience the benefits of a restorative practice on your own body and mind through various guided restorative classes. Long postures of up to 30 minutes put you in a state of calm introspection and regeneration. It will be a retreat and a journey to yourself.

3. The Autonomic Nervous System

"An anxious mind cannot exist in a relaxed body."
- Dr. Edmund Jacobson

Restorative yoga is the "Art of Resting." Discover how the autonomic nervous system is down-regulated and relaxed in a quiet practice (relaxation response) and thus offers the balance for a fast, performance-oriented world.

4. Just One blanket

Not every studio is equipped with many tools. Hence, why we show different options for how to achieve down-regulation of the nervous system with just one blanket.

5. The Theory

• What is Restorative Yoga?

• What is the difference to Yin Yoga?

• Creating gentle transitions and neutral sensations

• How long does a restorative posture last?

• Create and maintain space

• A safe learning and teaching environment

• Sustainability

• Find your voice as a teacher

• The tools

• The restorative breath

• Forms of touch

• To yield, to surrender, to let go

Yin Yoga & Philosophy Teacher Training IV - Seminarhaus Pegasus, North Germany
(in German)

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." (Confucius)

When one arrives, we feel, as yin yoga practitioners and teachers that it is no longer work,
but rather a gift.

Through the previous training levels, we have enough knowledge under our anatomy belts to understand and sense the more refined energy work of the meridians and to explore the implications for our own practice and that of our students.

The desire is for the energy – internally and externally – to be tangible for each and every student, so that our teaching becomes authentic and not only theoretical.

Furthermore, besides delving into yoga philosophy and the theory of energy work you can expect to be taken on a very personal, energetic and emotional journey this week with much yin yoga, meditation and pranayama practice.

The intention of this course – the middle way (Buddha's teaching) – the journey inwards  – the journey to our essence.
 

Welcome to Yin Yoga & Philosophy Teacher Training IV
This 50-hour certified intensive yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 6 sections:

1. Yin Yoga Asanas

In this continuance of our yin yoga teacher training programme, we focus mainly on the chakras and meridian work.  For asana practice, this means learning to be aware of the subtle chi (energy) flow in the meridians, and to feel its effects on the balance of both body and mind.

2. Yoga Philosophy

In the yoga philosophy section, we study the ultimate goal of practising yoga. To do this, To do this, we use the Samkhya philosophy to explain the Indian model of reincarnation, karma and the great yoga universe and describe the path of a yogi.

We will study Patanjali and his first 4 yoga sutras to assist our exploration and will delve intensively into the 8 limbs of yoga. Here we will show how essential the practice of meditation is.

3. Chakras and Meridian Theory

In this section, we examine chakra theory as the energy centre of our body and discover the sense and power of practising chakra meditation on the spiritual path to enlightenment.

We will also look into meridian theory.

In the physical body, we know about the role of bioelectrical flow (nerves) and chemical flow (hormones) as a natural source of power and energy for the body.  In chakra and meridian theory, chi represents the highest authority at a physical level, coordinating both the bioelectrical and the chemical flow in the body and supplying it with energy.

If chi is flowing, we are healthy.  If chi is not flowing, we become ill.

Through yin yoga, pranayama and meditation, we move chi and achieve balance in the body and mind.

4. Theory – Meditation, Pranayama and Anatomy

Teaching the theory of meditation (dharana – concentration / dhyana – seeing what is), pranayama (breath control), pratahara (looking inwards and directing energy to the spinal column) and the corresponding anatomy is both fascinating and exhilarating.

5. Practice – Meditation, Pranayama and Anatomy

Fully conversant with the theory of meditation, we are now ready to move on to meditation practice.

Each day, we will examine and practice a topic in more detail:

• Chakra meditation over two days

• Pranayama exercises

• Pratyahara exercises

• Shushumna purification

This practice offers an insight into and provides a taster of the Yin Therapy Meditation Training (35h or 100h). The Yin Therapy Meditation Teacher Training (35h) and Yin Therapy Meditation Retreat/TT (100 hours) can lead to a profound personal experience and transformation.

Contemplation & Yin Yoga Retreat/Further Education - Yogainsel, Spiekeroog
(in German)

Silence and contemplation leads to understanding. Understanding leads to compassion. Compassion leads to love, kindness and equanimity in our hearts." - Markus Henning Giess

In a fast-paced, performance-oriented, crisis-ridden life, we often feel alone, overwhelmed and stressed.

Our response to this is often to demand more of ourselves - a desire to go higher, faster and further. The result is often deep physical and mental exhaustion.

Yin Therapy deliberately takes the opposite approach to create awareness of the imbalance in the body and mind through meditation, contemplation, restorative yoga and yin yoga. We begin to feel again what we need in life and learn to distinguish the essential from the inessential.

In this retreat (this advanced training) you will learn to build awareness of yourself and experience compassion for yourself through Buddhist contemplation.

Studies show that compassion towards yourself lowers the pulse rate, blood pressure and stress hormones in our body. Compassion reduces psychological distress, increases well-being and lays the foundation for mental and spiritual healing.

This Buddhist contemplation technique, which we will teach in a modern psychological context, is easy to learn and very easy to implement in everyday life.

ARRIVE AND LET GO.

Your vacation begins with the first step onto the ferry. Slowing down. Gentle waves, a salty sea breeze. And the good feeling that everything has been thought of here. Everyday life is left behind on the mainland and you immerse yourself in island life. A very unique rhythm. In the rhythm of the tides.

Discover the small and large island treasures. Alone, as a couple or with the family. On Spiekeroog you will find everything you need. Time for the essentials. Opportunity to reflect on what is important. Peace and quiet.

ATTENTION - RETREAT
A retreat in the classical sense means a retreat from one's familiar surroundings in order to devote oneself to one's spiritual practice. In doing so, we are withdrawing from all digital media for this time and will also avoid printed media. In addition, there will be 7 days of silence during the Yin Therapy Retreat, during which we will retreat even further and look deeper inwards.

This withdrawal, from the distraction of the outside and the concentrated attention to one's own person, is intense and not always easy. Here, topics of everyday life can come to the fore, deep traumas, but also old samskaras from past lives. Often you see yourself in the mirror for the first time in years without make-up. Therefore, you should be sure that you will go into this course mentally and physically stable.

This course is practice-oriented and is intended to enable the yoga teacher to contemplate long periods of contemplation. This retreat should not be confused with a wellness holiday!

This retreat is a deepening of one's own yoga practice, something that a teacher training usually cannot offer and the natural next step of a yoga teacher.

From this deep personal experience through retreats grows a power and the ability to impart meditation.

This retreat / further training is recognized as continuing education by the Yoga Alliance. Following the retreat / further training, you will receive a confirmation of participation for 18 hours of contemplation & Yin Yoga retreat by email.

Yin Yoga & Energy Teacher Training III TPY International Yoga Academy, Ho Chi Minh City
(in English with Vietnamese translation)

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Lao-tzu)

"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand." (Confucius)

You have already completed many steps along your personal and unique Yin Yoga & Anatomy journey.

In this training, we complete the Yin Yoga practice and Yoga Anatomy and focus on energy work, Chi Flow and Yoga philosophy.
 

Welcome to Yin Yoga & Energy Teacher Training III
This 50-hour certified intensive yoga teaching programme (6 days) comprises 5 sections:

1. Yin Yoga Asanas

In this yin yoga teacher training course, we concentrate on the upper body eg. shoulder, scapula, shoulder/neck, wrists and as in level II, on the many variations of relevant poses. Furthermore, with special exercises, we begin to discover, experience and differentiate between blood, breath, nerves and chi flow within our own bodies.

2. Blood, Nerves, Breath, Chi

Heartbeat, blood circulation, nerve impulses, breath circulation are fluctuations within the body that can distract one's ability to sense the underlying chi flow and can often be misinterpreted by many experienced yoga students and teachers for the chi flow eg. blood circulation for chi flow.

We delve into the anatomical function of the blood, nerves breath and clarify with practical exercises, how to consciously feel blood, nerves, breath to enable us to place these sensations to the periphery.

What remains is chi.

3. Energy, Mantras & Philosophy

In this module, we begin our journey into energy work, mantras & yoga philosophy and slowly become familiar with the teachings of reincarnation, karma, the 3 realms, Patanjali's sutras, tantric chakra teachings, nadis (meridian theory) & mantra work.
Here is where we discover the key to our true spiritual growth.

4. Upper Body Anatomy - Analyse, Tests & Passive Assists

In YYTT III, we learn the muscle groups of the upper body, their function and explore in detail various aspects eg. rotator cuff, scapula etc.

We analyse compression and tension of the shoulder joint and explain and show it's relevance to yang yoga asanas (Downward Facing Dog, Warrior), to demonstrate how individual bone structure not only limits and affects our Yin Yoga asana practice.

5. Meditation & Bija Mantra

In Modules III and IV we practice chakra meditations, SoHam/HamSa meditations and/or Bija Mantras for an hour every morning. We use this practice as an intensive preparation for the asana practice making our energetic-emotional body “sing”.
