Yin Yoga Teacher Training Level II

50 HRS YACEP

Advanced Principles in Mindful Process, Inner Methods & Yin Yoga Asana

 “If you don’t realize the source of truth, your Buddha Nature, you stumble in confusion and sorrow.

When you realize where you come from

you naturally become tolerant, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king,

immersed in the wonder, you can deal with whatever life brings you

and even when death comes,

you are ready.”

-Tao Te Ching

“I bow to the potency of this work”

“I am shook after this training in the best way”

ADVANCED YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

…

In the precious and rare setting of retreat, our usual daily distractions are removed to support you to in developing mindfulness, compassion, and wise understanding.  

The power of practice in the wild gives rise to a more centered, mindful, and patient presence that supports you in your daily life.

In this level II training, we will be layering physical, emotional, and energetic engagement of immersive practice life:

Physical: Home of the Prana Vessel

Emotional: Home of the Dharma, Inner Methods & Mindfulness

Energetic: Home of the Hara & Chi Body

as well as immersive practices into the Buddha’s Divine Abodes- 4 Methods for Awakening Boddhicitta through heart methods:

Karuna: Compassion

Metta: Loving Kindness

Muddita: Selfless Joy

Kshama: Forgiveness

Level II will focus on the cultivation of an enriched Pranic field and an in-depth investigation of Buddhist Philosophical Principles- which we mingle with psychological self-inquiry and awareness practices in Yin & Yang Yoga Asanas. This course offers advanced anatomy, Yin & Yang Posture Clinics, Neuro-physiology of the Autonomic Nervous System, the path of awakening to the Dharma, and Meditation methodology.

Our focus together will be on the contemplative side of yoga, the internal methods of cultivating the bodymind complex, harnessing the Qi body and distributing its vital resources. Reflective practice is mingled with heart methods such as Tonglen and Metta meditations to deepen our commitment to the inner dimensions of experience, a willingness to open up inside & wonder.

While Level I is not a required prerequisite, we do suggest you have trained previously in essential features of a Yin Yoga & mindfulness based practice.
