If You:

Already have 200 hours or more of Yoga Teacher training, you have a big crush on Yin Yoga and you’re ready to take your commitment to the next level?

Then you are in the right spot.

Yin Yoga is quite different than more movement-based or flowing forms of Yoga, and because of that, specialized training is invaluable.

Thinking that Yin Yoga is ‘ just like regular yoga but with longer holds ‘ is a common mistake, one that keeps teachers offering mediocre at best Yin Yoga classes instead of exceptional ones.

I currently have a few ways I offer Yin Yoga training If you want to learn more about my journey to Yin Yoga you can find that here. 

“Great Job thank you! Nyk has a warm teaching style and is very considerate of all bodies and people’s needs and differences. This training has expanded my knowledge of the skeletal system, internal and external rotation and connective tissue. I liked the interactive style with lots of participation and enough time designated for questions.”

– Jacquline Quinless
