Yin Yoga Teacher Training: The Big Picture of a Quiet Practice (25 Contact Hours)
*5 Principles of Yin/Yang

*3 Phases of the Yin Asana Cycle
This 25-hour course will be heavy on the experiential. It will include many deep stretching Yin Yoga practices that focus on the spine and hips. This deep stretch reaches into the joints and offers great relief from discomfort in and around these areas. Long periods of time in stillness and quiet will also offer great relief from mental and emotional stress. After each practice, you will feel lighter and more relaxed with all your daily movements... and within your relationships.

Three Body Theory: The art of becoming subtle

Philosophy: 5 Principles of Yin/Yang & Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
In this Next Level Yin training, we will primarily focus on the subtleties: the quiet, the stillness, the surrender, and most importantly the wide open practice at the end of each yin pose and at the end of each chakra meditation called the rebound when we recline, reflect and deeply restore.

Welcome back Missy! Please join our Teacher Training group for a Backbending Workshop with the one and only Missy White!
Learn how to approach backbends with greater poise, awareness and attention to detail. Expand your edge as you open your heart and deepen your practice.
We will gradually warm up the spine and safely work our way towards the full expression of poses such as cobra, wheel, camel and scorpion. I will also focus on the safe transitions in and out of these poses which includes dropping back into backbends. Come play on your yoga mat and enjoy the expansion.
Modifications will be given to accommodate all levels.

How often do we give ourselves permission to relax? In the busyness of daily life, it’s easy to sacrifice relaxation for productivity. Mindful, replenishing breaks are critical to our mental and physical well-being. Countless studies confirm the mental and physical benefits of yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and sound baths. Even with this knowledge, making time for ourselves can be difficult. But it does not have to be. We have created monthly master classes that dive deep into relaxation and nervous system regulation while restoring physical vitality. This month's master class is Yin Yoga + Healing Gong Sound Bath. . Please join us!
Space is limited. Register early!

About Yin Yoga - Yin Yoga is a very simple practice. We settle into an asana for 3-7 minutes and slowly relax our muscles to allow the deeper drier tissues–the connective tissues that wrap our muscles and make up our joint capsules–to be safely and therapeutically stretched, stimulated, and strengthened.
The alignment rules of the postures are also simple, but more importantly, they are functional and organic: We listen to our bodies and lead ourselves into the shape that follows the natural contours of our spine, pelvis, and hips.
Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.
Using sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures. Records of using gongs have surfaced from as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times.

Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.
Using sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures. Records of using gongs have surfaced from as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times.
“Gongs have been used as shamanic healing tools, celebratory instruments, and a method of communication for thousands of years. Evidence suggests that gong making was known as early as 4,000 B.C. and ancient alchemy sources put the gong as far back as 16,000 B.C.,” says sound healing practitioner Britta Hochkeppel.
Additional physiological benefits heart rate and respiration rate slow down and come into balance during a sound bath as the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. Some studies have even shown that nitric oxide (which regulates physiological processes related to good health) in the blood increases.
