Introduction to Yin Yoga

with Biff Mithoefer, E-RYT 500

August 30 - September 1, 2019

Guided by Biff Mithoefer, author of The Yin Yoga Kit and a founder of the Jamtse School of Yin Yoga, you will practice Yin Yoga to bring health to your body and balance to your busy, Yang-style life. Yin Yoga uses long-held postures that support you in accessing the deeper, more Yin parts of yourself.

Explore how this ancient yogic practice can promote the flow of Qi (energy) through the meridians (energy channels) of your deep Yin core.

Learn how to incorporate Yin postures and philosophy 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

If you’d like to dive deeper into your study of Yin Yoga, join Biff for Yin Yoga Training – Module 2, September 1–6, 2019.
Biff is also offering Yin Yoga and Storytelling – Module 3 at Yogaville, December 1–6, 2019.
