about

led by dhugal (that's me), this 200-hour live training will begin with your first student, yourself. the focus of this 200hr yoga teacher training is to provide students with a sound knowledge of the science of difference, teaching and yin yoga practice. this foundation will serve as a powerful base from which to teach and guide your students through a practice that educates, inspires and heals.

i am honored to host students who join us from all around the globe and embraces each student’s unique strengths and insights to unlock each teacher’s individual potential and unique voice. the training is appropriate for the serious student who would like to start teaching yoga, as well as the student who would like to deepen their own knowledge and personal practice.


we’ll dissect passive (yin) stretching modalities and their use and implications for health of body and mind. we will practice and analyse the 7 archetypes of yoga poses (asana) and look at how to apply these to the range of individuals who will come to your practice. this course will arm you with the key components for working with the broad range of those who enter the yoga space; athletes, older people, beginners and regulars... and learn how we can enhance their bodies and minds in a modern, stressed world.

this program is open to all.

why this program?

  • you wanna be a yin teacher: great! in this training, you will learn everything you need to teach your first yin class by the time you finish. 

  • you love yoga and want to go deeper. right on! this training is unique. it’s not run-of-the-mill anatomy here. this is a deep dive into why we are all different… and so our yoga (or any movement discipline) has to be too. with the combined training, reading and discussion and interactive opportunities to learn, you'll be amazed at the complexity of anatomy study.

  • you wanna add teaching yin to your personal training/fitness background. fantastic! you already teach pilates or cross-fit and you want to offer more to your clients. good news, everything you learn in this course will add huge value to other modalities you already offer to enrich the suite of skills to boost your business and clientele.

this yin yoga course is open to all.

 

This training has four sections – each section is composed of live lectures, asana practices and anatomy to integrate the information.

This yoga teacher training will count as 200 ‘in-person/contact’ hours towards your 500-hour yoga certification. these hours will be recognised by Yoga Alliance. 


 

first 100hrs curriculum

 

bones anatomy (lower body) & yin yoga 

whether or not you intend to teach yin yoga, the yin program offers in-depth bones anatomy which is extremely relevant to any yoga teacher, no matter your chosen style. this module is all about bone shapes, or what we call variable anatomy. we all have the same bones (almost!) in our bodies, but we all have very different bone shapes...just look around you. this course trains your eye.

we believe that in order to teach or practice yoga (or any physical movement discipline) optimally, we must at least appreciate, and even master this understanding. this knowledge is fundamental to a yin practice where poses are held for a longer period of time. we begin here with the legs and hips.

 

first 50hrs

anatomy (stuff you really need to know to be a good teacher)

  • 14 joint-segment concept
  • tension and compression 
  • functional practice vs aesthetic practice
  • movement test analysis - internal & external rotation at the hip
  • skeletal variation
  • 4 myofascial compartments of the thigh

yin theory & practice

  • yin and yang theory
  • the theory of exercise
  • yin yoga theory - what makes yin yoga unique (e.g. it is not restorative yoga)

 

second 50hrs

anatomy (stuff you really need to know to be a good teacher)

  • movement test analysis - the spine
  • body proportion & orientation
  • skeletal variation in the lumbar spine
  • 6 myofascial compartments of the torso
  • the layers of a joint
  • the science of fascia: stretch vs. stress

yn theory & practice

  • taoist philosophy primer - the taoist world view
  • a history of yin yoga
  • basic to advanced yin poses
  • modifications and safety in yin yoga
  • yin yoga sequencing theory
  • assisted fascial release

 

 

what students say: “i think the most notable feature of your teaching style is your incredible attention to inclusiveness. the way you describe how tiny movements or sensations can be made for any body to improve poses is really rewarding when you can feel the difference! my yoga practice is changed forever."

 

modules 3&4 curriculum

 

curriculum: bones anatomy (upper body) & fascia & taoist philosophy

we complete our study of variable anatomy and turn to the study of fascia, body science's new frontier. we draw on the expertise of both chinese medicine (which has become a leader in fascia) and modern science. the health of this tissue is the gateway to fine-tuning and mastering our physical, emotional, and logical health.

throughout this time, we will investigate classical taoist philosophy which, for thousands of years, gives ancient context to the practice of modern yin. having lived in asia most of his life, dhugal is uniquely equipped to guide this study. taoism's often humorous insights provide a zen-like backdrop to consider and reflect upon the pressures of life today.

we intentionally practice a variety of yin yoga modalities, as we believe there is no one right way to practice yin (or yoga). the aim in studying a wide variety of knowledge and application is to allow students to find styles and methodologies of teaching and practice to suit different students, their unique aims, and even times of year that are as distinct and special as each individual, leaving our teachers confident with such a broad education upon graduation.
