300 hr Yin, Restore and Flow Teacher Training
The Yin Fusion Trainings will help you nourish your mind and spirit and connect with your body as your living temple. The practices are grounded in present moment awareness and breath regulation. Alignment is guided not just by anatomy and bio-mechanical alignment cues, but also by the meditative felt sense of body, breath and spirit. It is a deeply intimate experience between yoga and self.
There are two flexible options for you to choose from.
The 200 hr Yin Fusion Training combines 100 hrs of Yin and Restorative Yoga with other modules such Ayurveda, TCM and Women’s health, Breath Coach, Functional Yoga Therapy and more. The 300 hr Yin & Restore Fusion combines 100 hr of Yin and Restorative with 100 hrs of Progressive Vinyasa.
The 100 hr Yin & Restorative Training can also be taken as a stand-alone CPD training for trained teachers.
200 hr Yin Fusion

The 200 hr Yin Fusion Journey offers a gentle therapeutic healing journey. It is suitable for yogis who want to develop a gentle practice and help others do the same. In addition to 100 + hrs of Yin and Restorative yoga, this training also incorporates the following modules :
- Slow Flow Foundations – This module is a wonderful add-on to Yin Yoga and can be used as the Yang section in Yin Fusion Yoga Classes.
- Ayurveda, TCM and Women’s Health – This module continues TCM studies and Ayurveda energetics in relation to female health, covering the stages of the cycle and menopause.

300 hr Yin, Restore & Flow Fusion
November 2024 - November 2025
This new 300 hr Option is suitable for students who want to train in Yin, Restorative and Vinyasa over a longer period of time. It give students time to immerse themselves into the work at a slow, steady pace.
The focus of the Progressive Vinyasa Training is developing strength and end-range flexibility. Each weekend is themed on a specific area of practice, such as Standing poses, hip openers, core, twists, backbends, or Inversions. On these weekends, we will workshop the theme through the morning asana classes. We will also deep dive into the relevant anatomy and alignment in great detail using the Align manual. The teaching Methodology classes offer you an opportunity to start teaching the poses and develop your teaching voice. Every weekend also offers yoga philosophy, meditation and breathwork.
Yin & Restorative Yoga
Required Module
One of the reasons, we love to combine Yin and Restorative in the same module is that they are so complimentary. Many of the poses are the same. What distinguishes them for each other is often simply the focus, intention, energetics and origin of the work. However there is a large overlap and therefore very complimentary.
