Introduction to Yin Yoga
with Biff Mithoefer, E-RYT 500 and Eric Archer
April 28 - 30, 2023
Yin Yoga uses long-held postures to support you in accessing the deeper, more Yin (still) parts of yourself. Explore how this ancient yogic practice can promote Qi (flow of energy) through the meridians (energy channels), bringing health to your body and balance to your busy, Yang (active)-life style.
Guided by Biff Mithoefer, author of The Yin Yoga Kit, you will practice Yin Yoga to bring health to your body and balance to your life.
Incorporate Yin Yoga into any Yoga practice by:
- Applying Taoist philosophy
- Following the movement of prana (life energy) in the body and explore how to affect it with Yin Yoga
- Gaining a basic understanding of the Chinese meridian system and its relationship to yogic chakra theory
- Exploring basic anatomical differences that ultimately affect Yoga postures
- Balancing the Yin practices with more Yang-style practices, based on Hatha Yoga and the Taoist tradition
Continuing Education (CE) Opportunities
- Yoga Alliance (YA): Approximately 14 contact hours.
You can input your contact hours using your YA login information. - Integral Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA) can provide you with a CE certificate with your program’s total contact hours for a $10 fee (free for IYTA members.) For more information, email ce@iyta.org.
