The Meridian Body: Yin and Nidra Training

Want to become a Yin yoga teacher deeply rooted in embodiment, energetics, and the art of moving stillness?

This bespoke Yin Yoga training is informed by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Eastern philosophy, offering a pathway into Yin as a living, listening practice rather than a static shape-based approach.

Through the cultivation of moving stillness, we explore how Yin postures, subtle motion and attention support the flow of Qi (energy) through the meridian system, inviting deeper connection with the organs, tissues, and nervous system.

Throughout the training, we work with long-held, gentle postures, somatic inquiry, and embodied expression, guided by carefully curated theming rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, elemental awareness, and seasonal rhythms.

This practice invites restoration, rewiring, and replenishment of the nervous system while supporting the body’s natural capacity for balance and regulation. Yin becomes a practice of listening to the intelligence of the body, sensing from within, and allowing stillness to inform movement.

What will the course include?

• How to skillfully curate Yin classes rooted in embodiment and energetics, using Yin postures as gateways into sensing, listening, and inner awareness
  
  

• Embodied Anatomy & the Meridian System, exploring how fascia, joints, organs, and Qi interact within a Yin practice.
  
  

• Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, including meridians, the organ systems, The Elements, and seasonal energetics as they relate to Yin Yoga
  
  

• Qi Gong and TCM-informed tools that cultivate moving stillness, support energetic circulation, and develop subtle body awareness. Allowing your Yin classes to move beyond replication and become an embodied, intuitive expression.
  
  

• Class theming through Chakras, The Elements, and organ systems, supporting whole-body listening and being.
  

• Tantric & Eastern Philosophy lectures, offering depth and context for practices of embodiment, presence, and inner cultivation
