Yin and 5 Elements Yoga Teacher Training in France 2023-24

For those who want to take the plunge and train to teach Yin Yoga in turn, we organize training courses for Yin Yoga teachers in France.

If you’re not aiming to teach but desire to devote time to Yoga to develop your knowledge and practice of Yin, this training is also for you!

We offer practical and theoretical courses on Yin Yoga to explore, study, understand, and seek out this resource that you have within and teach the benefits of Yin Yoga.

Beyond the purely physical aspect with the essential practice of Asanas (postures) and ” Pranayama ” (breathing techniques), we attach significant importance to the theoretical part of Yin Yoga.

We will study the Origins and the Philosophy behind Yin Yoga, notions of Anatomy on the fascia, the connective tissues and joints solicited so that you have a better understanding of the human body and its possibilities. And also the sensitive areas to hold courses in safe for students.

Two hours a day will be devoted to the 5 Elements and the meridians according to traditional Chinese medicine with Guillaume Hegoburu Osteopath (COPB), trained in traditional Chinese medicine (IFTEM). Established in Brantôme, it combines osteopathy and Chinese medicine for more efficient treatment. Having followed the first STAPS course (science and technique of physical and sports activities), he integrates the main principles of osteopathy and Chinese medicine into sports practices to improve performance or efficiency among practitioners.

We will learn how to build a class and accompany your students to help them understand each posture without hurting themselves and go further if they are ready.

We will discuss Meditation, allowing you to taste the joys of inner silence and self-connection and pass it on during your lessons.

On completing the training, you will obtain a Yin Yoga certificate to be able to teach it anywhere in the world for those who already have a yoga teacher certificate of at least 200 hours. For participants of the training who are not already yoga teachers, this week will improve your practice and your personal knowledge. If you want to do the 200-hour training with us, ask for the dates.
