40-Hour Hybrid Yin Yoga Teacher Training
An embodied training for yoga teachers, practitioners, and space-holders who want to deepen into the wisdom of Yin.
Enrollment is now open for the November 2026 training. Early bird pricing ends August 31st.
Yin Yoga is a slow, grounded practice that quietly nourishes the body, mind, and spirit.
At Innerswim, we approach Yin Yoga as a multidimensional practice that invites you to soften, listen deeply, and return to the wisdom of your body.
This training is about more than long-held postures and deep release. It’s an exploration of stillness, receptivity, nervous system nourishment, energetic awareness, and the art of allowing.
Through this upcoming teacher training, you’ll deepen your own relationship with Yin while learning how to hold intentional, meaningful practice spaces for others.
This training blends live online study sessions with in-person pose labs, giving you both the spaciousness of at-home learning and the depth of hands-on, real-time practice.
If you feel called to embody stillness, teach from presence, and move through the world with more softness and depth, this training is for you.
The upcoming Yin Yoga Teacher Training is designed for yoga teachers, spaceholders, dedicated students and anyone who is ready to explore the deeper layers of Yin Yoga.
This training is for you if…
You are drawn to slower, deeper, more contemplative forms of practice.
You want to learn how to guide Yin Yoga in a way that feels safe, spacious, and embodied.
You are a yoga teacher who wants to add Yin to your offerings with more confidence and clarity.
You are interested in functional anatomy, nervous system support, and the subtle body.
You want to move beyond memorizing poses and learn how to truly understand the intention behind them.
You are craving a training that feels thoughtful, soulful, and grounded.
You want to hold space for rest, emotional presence, inner listening, and nervous system nourishment.
What You’ll Learn…
In The Art of Allowing, we’ll explore Yin Yoga as both a physical practice and a contemplative pathway.
Together, we’ll study:
⥀ The foundations, history, and principles of Yin Yoga
⥀ The difference between Yin and Yang styles of practice
⥀ How to safely guide long-held, floor-based postures
⥀ Functional anatomy and skeletal variation
⥀ Tension, compression, fascia, and connective tissue
⥀ Nervous system support through stillness and breath
⥀ The art of cueing Yin with spaciousness and clarity
⥀ Prop use, modifications, and variations for different bodies
⥀ Sequencing for physical, energetic, and emotional themes
⥀ Yin Yoga and the subtle body
⥀ Meridians, chakras, and seasonal approaches to practice
⥀ Trauma-aware considerations for teaching stillness
⥀ How to create an environment of safety, consent, and inner listening
⥀ Practice teaching, feedback, and integration
This training is about learning how to support students in meeting themselves honestly, gently, and with care.

What Makes This Training Different
This training brings together anatomy, philosophy, nervous system awareness, subtle body wisdom, and the lived experience of practice.
