Aegialis Yoga School invites you to explore a gentler approach to yoga asana practice with this 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher and Guided Meditation Training. This is a combined training where you will learn how to lead Yin Yoga classes and also lead guided meditations. Located on the magical island of Amorgos, Greece, you will definitely feel the beautiful energy and be inspired to learn, surrounded by nature and the Aegean Sea. This is a 10-day training program where you will study in detail the fundamentals of yin yoga and how to safely teach yin yoga classes. The yin yoga postures will be studied and practiced in detail, taking into account modifications, contraindications and of course the benefits of each posture. At the end of this training, you will be able to structure your yin yoga sequences and be able to teach a balanced and complete yin yoga class. There will be daily pranayama and meditation sessions where you will learn how to develop the coherence of yogic breathing techniques and focus your mind. You will go through the definition of meditation from the perspective of yoga philosophy and you will also study and practice various concentration/meditation techniques, in order to learn how to guide a meditation session. In this training, you will be briefly introduced to the foundations of Hatha Yoga so that you clearly understand that Yin Yoga is not a separate practice, but a complementary practice to Hatha Yoga.
