Join our easy to follow 50 hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Canggu, Bali. Yin Yoga is perfect for anyone—whether you want to relax, reduce stress, or improve flexibility (especially for athletes or active people). Unlike faster-paced yoga, Yin Yoga uses gentle, long-held stretches (3-5 minutes) to target your joints, ligaments, and deep tissues. This helps release tension in tight areas like hips, lower back, and legs.

Modern life is busy and stressful—sitting all day, tough workouts, or standing jobs can strain your body. Yin Yoga balances this by calming your mind, boosting energy, and keeping your body healthy. Props like pillows, blocks, and blankets make poses comfy and safe.

This training teaches you how to lead Yin Yoga classes or simply deepen your own practice. Great for all levels—no experience needed!

Yin Yoga has its origin from China and is based on the Taoist principles of Yin and Yang. This idea is rooted in Chinese philosophy, health, and religion as two opposing forces: Yin stands for calmness, night, and passivity, whereas Yang is associated with movement, day, and energy.

Whereas the styles of yoga which are popular today such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and power yoga are dynamic, muscular, and fast-paced (Yang), Yin Yoga is slow, passive, and meditative. It concentrates on the fascial system which includes ligaments, tendons, and fascia by holding the postures for 3-5 minutes or more to address the deeper tissues of the body as well as the psyche.

Traditional Chinese Medicine divides the human body into channels or meridians and relates them to organs, feelings, and sensations. Yin Yoga postures press and release these meridians, regulating the energy and keeping the body healthy. Through bringing the practitioner back to stillness and the present, Yin Yoga is a perfect antidote to the Yang dominated society of today.

Improved Joint Flexibility: Failure to alter postures for extended durations leads to the stiffening of connective tissues and their hydration.

Better Circulation: Standing for long periods is useful to increase circulation to the muscles and also to increase energy.

Stress Management & Emotional Release: The parasympathetic nervous system will be employed for stress and anxiety reduction and for the purpose of emotional discharge.

Mind-Body Connection: It promotes self-identification and self-governance, which helps build up a person.

Improved Sleep Quality: Yin Yoga is a slow and passive kind of yoga that aches the muscles and benefits the mind, so it can assist people to sleep better.

Balanced Energy: The two types of energies, Yin and Yang, are central to the balance of day to day life.

It is important to learn and establish these core subjects s of yoga to truly understand and gain skills of Yin Yoga. 

All the classes, except for the Yang Practice, Alignment / Adjustment / Teaching Methodology, Yin Yoga Practice will be conducted as combined classes in the first part of the classic 200hrs yoga teacher training course. The school holds the right to change the timings of the classes if it is needed.
