Yin & Yang Philosophy

Finding Equilibrium

May our study be enlightening...

Yin Yoga is so much more than asana – it's also a platform for growth and transformation. If we want to help our students build up the inner resources to meet life's challenges, then we have to share the practices that train them up.

In this Yin & Yang Philosophy workshop, discover how the interplay between Yin & Yang energies permeates all aspect of life and how to assess your own harmonies and imbalances. You will gain a deeper understanding of the origins and application of Yin & Yang theory and how to weave these concepts into your Yin Yoga classes.

Register for this workshop through February 10, 2020.
