A 3-hour continuing education immersion for Yin Yoga teachers (Yoga Alliance CE eligible), this training weaves seasonal wisdom with practical anatomy to help you teach winter-focused Yin with clarity, skill, and depth. Winter is the Water element in Chinese medicine—linked to the Kidney & Bladder meridians, the posterior chain, and the body’s deeper reserves. We’ll explore how to design classes that support recovery, tissue hydration, joint resilience, and nervous-system regulation during the most yin time of year.
You’ll be guided through the complete Winter/Water Yin + Myofascial sequence (exactly as taught in the public workshop), then we’ll break it down pose-by-pose: target areas (feet/calves/hamstrings/hips/low back), meridian emphasis, prop strategy, contraindications, and precise, accessible language for a range of bodies. We’ll also cover how and why myofascial release pairs so well with Yin.
Beyond mechanics, we’ll teach to the spirit of the season. In Chinese medicine, the Kidneys are associated with the Zhi—our steady will, inner resolve, and capacity to move forward from a rooted center. Through discussion, inquiry prompts, and intentional theming, you’ll learn how to cue Water element practices in a way that feels grounded and relevant, supporting students through fatigue, stress, and winter heaviness.
The training also includes a simple sequence of medical Qi Gong practices for Kidney nourishment: breath-led movement, gentle vibration, and focused awareness to warm the low back, support grounding, and cultivate calm, stable energy. You’ll leave with a repeatable 60–90 minute Winter Yin class template along with CE hours documented for Yoga Alliance.
