YIN YOGA IMMERSION
Yin Yoga Immersion is a condensed, intensive training program designed to provide a focused and in-depth study of Yin yoga.
This 30 hour immersion course is ideal for current yoga instructors or students seeking to enhance their practice. Even individuals who do not intend to become yoga instructors can greatly benefit from this immersion program. Professionals such as massage therapists and social workers will also find this training valuable as it offers an exceptional yoga practice that supports overall health and well-being.
This short course can give you 16+ points towards your yearly CPD requirements. It is important to note however that one can only qualify as a yin yoga teacher when the course is combined with a 200 hour or more yoga teacher training course.
