Course Overview

The Physical Science of An Energetic Practice

This four-part Yin Yoga course offers a deep dive into anatomy and how Yin Yoga postures support and nourish the physical body through a blend of lectures and experiential practices. Discover the benefits of Yin Yoga — a mindful practice that supports joint health, connective tissue, and energy flow — and how it positively impacts your physical and energetic systems, fostering a more profound connection to your body and mind.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Detailed anatomy of the shoulder, pelvis and spine and their role in postural integrity and energy flow

  • How fascial stretching influences mobility and affects emotional well-being

  • How Yin Yoga targets connective tissue to promote whole body integration, emotional release, joint health, and long-lasting mobility

  • The ways Yin Yoga supports joint longevity, improves mobility and enhances connective tissue resilience

  • The relationship between the body's physical structures, energy channels (meridians), and the mind-body connection

What You’ll Experience:

A balanced mix of lecture-based learning and experiential practices, featuring intentionally selected Yin Yoga postures to promote balance and resilience in the joints and connective tissues.

  • Four focused modules exploring the anatomy and movement of the spine, shoulders, pelvis, and fascia

  • Dynamic and static stretches to improve joint mobility and hydrate fascia

  • Practices informed by Taoist Qi/Chi awareness and Buddhist contemplative techniques to foster inner clarity and energetic sensitivity

What You’ll Gain

  • A deeper anatomical understanding to approach your yoga practice with greater awareness, supporting profound releases, injury prevention, and energetic alignment

  • Enhanced knowledge of Yin Yoga's benefits, enriching both your personal practice and teaching skills

  • The ability to design intentional Yin Yoga sequences that promote physical ease and emotional balance for yourself and others

  • Insights into how Yin Yoga nurtures natural range of motion, supports connective tissue health, and slows the aging process
