300-HRS YIN YOGA TTC IN INDIA

Yin Yoga TTC (300 hours, 3 Modules of 100-hrs)

This Yoga TTC is focused on therapeutic aspects of Yin Yoga practice, 5 Elements & Traditional

Chinese Medicine, and Myofascial Release Techniques (MFR).

Yin Yoga TTC at Trimurti Yoga consists of three separate modules (100-hrs/each) that all together

create a comprehensive and profound 300-hour Yin Yoga TTC that will train you in:

- Yin Yoga techniques and practice: yin poses, sequencing, the art of teaching YIN

- Functional Anatomy and Fascia Studies (in each module we focus on a different aspect of

functional anatomy &; physiology in the context of YIN yoga)

- the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Meridian Yoga, Elemental Yoga and

Acupressure Points Yoga/‘Acu-yoga’)

- Meditation and Relaxation Techniques (Myofascial Release, Yoga Nidra, Pranayama,

Qi-Gong, Sound Healing)

- Restorative Yoga and Yoga for Stress Relief/ Nervous System Support

- Yoga for Health Support & for specific groups of students

- Yoga as Medicine - how yoga can supplement a therapy

Creating safe and customised classes adjusted for High Sensitivity (HSP), Neurodiversity &

Trauma-sensitive yoga

You can participate in each 100-hour module separately, or if you wish to get a 300-hour

Yoga Alliance Certificate, you can choose to participate in three modules together (after completion

of 200 RYS), which allows you to become RYT 500 (RYT 200 + RYT 300)

* For your best benefits, we put these 3 modules in a certain order, but you can choose to

participate in them in a different configuration as well.

* Each module can give you 100 hours of CEP (Continuing Education Program) if you are

already RYT 200 or RYT 500, and all together they can give you the accreditation of RYT 500.

About Yin Yoga

During the last few years, Yin Yoga has become one of the most popular yoga styles.

Perhaps our typical modern ‘Yang’ lifestyle makes us so exhausted that we naturally need to

connect more with our “yin-side”.

Yin is a great answer to counter-balance the intensity of our contemporary times. It is nourishment

for our parasympathetic nervous system, and a deeply healing, meditative practice.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with set asanas that are ‘held’ for longer periods of

time (usually five minutes and longer), which allows us to apply gentle pressure and

compression on our tissues. The whole point of Yin practice is to relax the muscles as

much as possible, to target the deeper connective tissues - especially fascia, our amazing

“spiderweb” organ.

Yin Yoga is based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and therefore works in tandem

with meridians and acupressure points targeting our vital organs and balancing the 5 Elements:

Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

Yin Yoga brings our focus more inwards, and can be an excellent bridge towards

meditation, or can become meditation itself.
