Yin Yoga is a practice where one holds a passive stretch for approximately 3-5 minutes as a way to promote healthy connective tissues and balance the nervous system. In Yin Yoga, we can activate the deeper connective tissues through long, slow stretching by exerting positive pressure on them.
Restorative Yoga is a passive practice meant to activate the body’s relaxation response. In a Restorative Yoga practice, postures are held between 5 and 30 minutes. The postures are supported by a variety of props.
Throughout the course of this training you will learn the foundations of Yin and Restorative Yoga. These detailed lectures comprise an essential core to your training as you deepen your understanding of yoga and begin to truly embody the role of yoga teacher.
