Level 1 Overview

Led by Yin Yoga Teacher, TJ Maher, this training will allow you to submerge yourself into a Yin Yoga Training and learn to share the subtle meditative qualities of this practice. Created from a blend of the ethereal sciences of the East and the material sciences of the West, Yin Yoga is all about balance. This training uses lecture and guided practice to develop a conceptually diverse understanding with extensive first-hand experience.

This curriculum emphasizes the balance between Eastern (ethereal) and Western (material) sciences. With an in depth exploration of meditation, subtle anatomy and physical anatomy learn to teach the subtle qualities of Yin Yoga. Using lectures and guided practice you will develop your own strategies for teaching and working with students to guide them to listen to their body.

Level 2 Overview

In this highly requested followup to our Level 1 Yin Yoga Teacher Training we are expanding on all topics covered in Level 1, bringing more depth and nuance to your teaching repertoire. Level 2 will also introduce several new areas to explore in conjunction with your Yin Yoga teaching and practice. Our aim in crafting this curriculum was to echo the experience of your Level 1 providing the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate your body over a week of in-depth Yin Yoga practice while also enriching and refining your skills for you to bring new treasures back to share with your students.

Level 2 training requires that you have completed the entirety of the Level 1 program with TJ.

“Yin yoga teacher training with TJ was an enormously fulfilling experience. The immersive nature of the training introduced me to habits that I’ve kept going since training ended. Coming from Power yoga, I was unsure what Yin was going to add to my practice. How was going from 26 poses in an hour to maybe 4 poses in an hour going to “challenge” me? I learned I had so much tension in my body that I was ready to let go of. The body awareness that this training and subsequent practice has gifted me is without parallel. I am deeply in tune with my body and its needs like never before. In Power, I give my body the opportunity for strength, movement, energy, sweat. In Yin, I can give my body deep release, reflection, patience, rest. I am so grateful to have been able to be led in this training by TJ.”
