Embodied Flow Yin Yoga (50h)

About the training

This immersion qualifies for 50 YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Program) hours. With homework and online study it qualifies for 100 YACEP hours total.

Embodied Flow Yin Yoga is a gentle, integrative practice that creates a sacred space where time expands and slows down, allowing you to find your deepest sense of self. This approach combines a unique blend of yin poses, guided imagery, experiential anatomy, movement meditation, five elements of Chinese medicine, breath work, mantra and mind-body medicine practices.

Embodied Flow Yin Yoga recognizes that the way we care for ourselves, others, and the environment is interrelated. Through developing awareness and loving kindness on and off the mat, we gain a felt sense of this “interrelatedness” (yoga) and can become a more fully inhabited embodied being. In this tradition, becoming embodied is a process of returning to our innate sense of well-being where the richness and subtleties of life are deeply experienced. In this way, a life fully felt is a live fully lived.

In this training we will explore and learn:

• Yin poses (basic poses and variations)
• Therapeutic applications of Embodied Flow Yin Yoga including: biomechanics, mind-body medicine, bodywork, energy medicine, emotional processing, and trauma informed approaches
• Foundations of traditional Chinese medicine: meridians, the five elements
• Learn the processes of safely touching into unprocessed energy and emotions and mobilize/ express them through the container of Embodied Flow Yin
• Introduction to Embodied Flow principles and methodology
• Facilitation skills in exploring Eastern and Western experiential anatomy
• How to hold space for deep discovery and processing
• Using props in a unique way to offer modifications that can help support each student's needs
• Advanced observation and hands-on assisting skills
• Integration of Tantric and Buddhist philosophy with yin yoga
• How to create guided meditation that enhances the yin state of receptiveness, acceptance, compassion, intuition, and an individual’s capacity to self-heal
• How to create sacred spaces through rituals
