Yin Yoga Teacher Training

20-Hour | 2-Day Immersion with Laura Martini

Nov. 27 & 28, 2026 (4 spots left!)

Slow down. Go deeper. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, be more, and move faster, Yin yoga invites us to do something radical...

Slow. The. Heck. Down.

Welcome to the 20-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training! This two-day immersion is designed to deepen your understanding of Yin yoga, expand your teaching toolbox, and help you bring the magic of stillness into your classes.

Led by Laura Martini, Yoga Alliance Certified Instructor, this training combines theory, anatomy, philosophy, hands-on practice, and plenty of opportunities to explore what happens when we stop rushing from one pose to the next.

Spoiler alert: It's a lot more than just lying around on bolsters (although there will be some of that, too).

What Is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that invites us to hold postures for longer periods of time, generally targeting the body's deeper connective tissues and encouraging mindfulness, patience, and self-awareness.

Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, Yin isn't about how far you can stretch, how strong your warrior pose looks, or whether your leg can somehow reach the back of your head.

It's about finding an appropriate edge, settling into stillness, and learning to listen to your body.

It's a practice of doing less and experiencing more.

And sometimes, doing less is surprisingly hard!

What You'll Learn

Over two immersive days, we'll explore the foundations, philosophy, and practical application of Yin yoga.

Topics will include:

• The Foundations of Yin: Understand the history, principles, and philosophy behind this unique practice.

• Yin & Yang Theory: Explore the relationship between effort and ease, activity and stillness, and the complementary nature of Yin and Yang.

• Functional Anatomy: Learn about connective tissues, fascia, joints, skeletal variation, and why every body experiences a pose differently.

• Yin Yoga Asanas: Become familiar with foundational Yin postures, their variations, benefits, and considerations.

• The Art of Props: Discover how blankets, blocks, bolsters, and other props can make a practice more accessible and supportive.

• Finding Your Edge: Learn how to guide students toward an appropriate sensation without pushing, forcing, or turning Yin into a flexibility competition.

• Mindfulness & Meditation: Explore breath awareness, stillness, and the mental and emotional aspects of a Yin practice.

• Sequencing Yin Classes: Learn how to create thoughtful, balanced classes with intention and purpose.

• Teaching with Confidence: Practice cueing, offering options, creating a peaceful environment, and guiding students through longer-held postures.

Two Days to Slow Down & Soak It All In

20 hours. Two days. No rushing required.

We'll combine educational sessions, experiential practice, group discussions, anatomy explorations, and teaching opportunities.

You'll have time to experience Yin from the inside out, ask questions, explore different postures, and discover how to bring these teachings into your own classes.

Expect meaningful conversations, plenty of ah-ha moments, a deeper appreciation for your anatomy, and possibly a newfound relationship with your bolster.

Fair warning: You may never look at a yoga block the same way again.

Who Is This Training For?

This training is perfect for:

• Certified yoga teachers wanting to expand their teaching repertoire.

• Vinyasa, Hatha, and other movement-based instructors curious about teaching Yin.

• Teachers looking to deepen their understanding of anatomy and functional movement.

• Yoga practitioners interested in exploring the philosophy and practice of Yin more deeply.

• Anyone who feels called to bring more stillness, mindfulness, and balance into their teaching.

You don't need to be able to touch your toes, fold yourself into a pretzel, or sit in meditation for three hours.

Curiosity is a much better prerequisite.

What You'll Take Away

By the end of this training, you'll have:

• A deeper understanding of Yin yoga philosophy and principles.

• Greater knowledge of functional anatomy and skeletal variation.

• A collection of foundational Yin postures and modifications.

• Tools for creating thoughtful and purposeful Yin sequences.

• A better understanding of mindfulness and meditation in Yin practice.

• Practical teaching experience and greater confidence in guiding Yin classes.

Most importantly, you'll have a fresh perspective on the value of slowing down, creating space, and embracing the beauty of doing a little less.

Your Investment in Stillness

20-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training

Two days dedicated to learning, exploring, connecting, and discovering the deeper layers of Yin yoga.

You'll leave with new knowledge, practical teaching tools, and hopefully a renewed appreciation for the simple magic of slowing down.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is absolutely nothing.

(And yes, I’ll teach you how to make that sound professional.)

Ready to Embrace Your Inner Yin?

Come curious. Come comfortable. Bring your questions, your yoga mat, and your favourite cozy layers.

Let's explore the art of stillness together!
