Yin holds simple shapes for minutes at a time, working the body's deeper tissues while the nervous system learns to settle. Teaching it well takes more than a pose list. This training covers the how and the why.
Foundational Yin postures and variations, the principles of long holds, and how to sequence practices that meet students where they are.
Functional anatomy for Yin (fascia, joints, and skeletal variation) alongside the energetic frameworks that inform the practice.
Clear, sensitive cueing and language, and how to hold space for what long, quiet holds can bring up, so students feel safe to settle.
For teachers ready to add Yin to their offering, and for practitioners ready to go deeper than a weekly class allows.
You don't need to be a teacher to join. It's open to dedicated practitioners drawn to embodied stillness as well. Just mention your background when you apply.
Brenda is a yoga teacher and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, MACP) who has spent her career studying how bodies carry stress, and how stillness helps release it.
Her teaching is unhurried, grounded, and attentive to what each body needs.

The 40 in-person hours are the heart of the training, so plan to attend both weekends if you can. If you already know you'll miss a session, mention it when you apply and Brenda will let you know what's workable.
