Description
50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Mel McLaughlin (The Yin Space)
30th April - 3rd May 2027
“There is a yin and yang to everything in the universe. They are like two sides to the same coin, one cannot exist without the other and they compliment each other”
Join us for an immersion style Yin Yoga training with Mel McLaughlin for her inspiring 50 hour Yin Teacher Training programme. We will slip off the radar for a 4 days of in-person yin “chill-pill” and 1 day of pre recorded self study.
Exploring our ‘Yin-sides’ of deep immersion into the other side of the yoga coin, we are keeping it small and intimate and you will be fully versed in the art of teaching yin when you are finished. We answer all the “whys” and practice twice to bookend the day and layer the intellectual information with somatic experience.
This is an ideal course for any current or aspiring yoga teacher to attend and a deeper dive for students wishing only to expand their yin-formation and practice!
The course material you can look forward to will include:
~ All main meridians, organ pairs and TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) theory.
~ Taoism theory.
~ Functional yin yoga poses
~ Introduction to the energetics of Yin Yoga.
~ Overview of chakra theory and a sample of meditations.
~ Key asana ‘families’ and props including Wall Yin.
~ Long, deep practice Yin sessions for layering somatic experience with intellect.
This course is open to those who are either already 200-hour qualified yoga teachers, and who want to deepen their knowledge and practice of Yin yoga, while cultivating teaching skills that will allow them to facilitate this practice for their students, or dedicated students wanting to dive in and learn more for their own personal practice and enjoyment.
