Sunday 6st – Friday 11th of September 2020 Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Biff Mithoefer_ module1: Taoism, Anatomy and Sequencing
Details
In this six day training we examine the philosophical, anatomical and energetic aspects of Yin Yoga. We look at the relationship of Yin and Yang from a Taoist point of view. By understanding this relationship and the archetypes of Yin and Yang we can understand more clearly what the practice of Yin Yoga is really about. By studying anatomy as it applies to a Yin practice, we gain a basic understanding of the relationship of Yin and Yang within the body. We look at the movement of energy through the Taoist meridian system, examining how it can be affected by Yin postures. This anatomical approach and the understanding of how energy may be affected in the practice helps us create a practice for ourselves and our students. Much of the time during this first training is spent examining the postures themselves. We look at how each posture can affect us from a physical, energetic, and emotional point of view. With this holistic approach, we develop the tools needed to create a sequence and class that reflects our own unique point of view and individual practice.
