Our bodies are mostly water. Our natural state is to move fluidly like water and adapt to our environment. When I do yoga I want to be like water pouring from a vessel.

This is the only official Yin Yoga Teacher Certification Course authorized by The Yin Yoga Institute and taught by the founding master of Yin Yoga, Paulie Zink. Learn to teach the art of Yin Yoga as it is intended to be taught.

Yin Yoga was developed by Master Zink from the Taoist spiritual traditions and health practices of ancient China. In Taoist philosophy, the entire universe is regarded as a living organism imbued with life force. Being in harmony with the flow of this energy in nature is the essence of Taoist attitude. The primary purpose of Yin Yoga is to restore and enliven our innate ability to move with fluidity, power, and grace.
Participants learn to open to their intuitive hearts, to discover the individual expression of the artist within, to awaken the spontaneous and playful spirit, and to transcend the boundaries of the analytical mind in order to advance beyond techniques for doing yoga into cultivating a way of being yoga, of living it in our day-to-day lives, and sharing these gifts with the lives of those we touch.

In this Teacher Certification Course, participants study the deeper dimensions and comprehensive components of the art of Yin and Yang yoga, including:
• The alchemy of the Five Elemental Energies;
• The circular flow of energy and the cycle of yin and yang in yoga practice;
• Master Zink's teaching philosophy with emphasis on developing the intricacies and variations of postures;
• The opportunity to practice teaching under Master Zink's supervision

Students may attend a one-week session, and complete a second session at a later date. Students may also accrue credit hours up to a total of 100 additional hours through: reading/writing assignments, evaluated teaching experience, and hours from previous Teacher Training workshops with Paulie. Students completing certification course are eligible for free lifetime Yin Yoga Teacher registration with the Yin Yoga Institute. For application info visit TheYinYogaInstitute.com
