We are so thrilled to provide teachers with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of yin yoga with Emily Peterson!
This training weaves together methodology, philosophy, and embodied teaching practice. Students will explore:
-What yin yoga is—and what it is not
-Yin and yang as qualities of attention rather than effort
-The historical and philosophical roots of yin within Daoist thought
-Fascia and ground substance as a primary medium of yin practice
-The stages and phases of water as a lens for healing and change
-Kidney/water, liver/wood, spleen/earth, heart/fire, and lung/metal through embodied practice
-Meridians and Five Element theory held within a broader somatic and relational context
-Photonic light, EZ water, and the Ka-body as subtle dimensions of experience
-The Four Foundations of Mindfulness and four-beat awareness as lived practice
-Trauma, nervous system response, and the creation of a trauma-responsive practice environment
-Attention, preference, and how unconscious agenda shapes experience
-Rather than memorizing concepts, students learn to sense, notice, and track these principles through their own bodies and teaching.
