Mindfully Yin 50-hour Teacher Training, led by Fiona Liu and Sal Flewelling
Our signature 50 hour yin yoga teacher training is specifically designed to help you confidently teach yin classes-in just two weekends . Whilst we spend time diving deep into yin asanas, our real ‘mahi’ is connecting you back to your heart.
We believe that when you’re supported by experienced guides, surrounded by a community of like-minded yogis and given time and space to gently explore your own yin practice – magical things happen…
As you find more stillness in your yin practice, your body, your mind and your heart all begin to feel safe, supported and at ease. When your own heart is at peace, you build the confidence to guide students to open to the wisdom of their hearts too.
Over six training days, we guide you into deeper states of mindfulness. We do this through a unique training approach we’ve developed over 10 years of teaching fledgling yin teachers.
When you train with us, we want you to lose as little of your daily income as possible, so we run our training over two long weekends.
We also want to make sure you have time to practice teaching yin out in the real world, because it’s only when you embody what you’ve learned that all the juicy questions and reflections bubble up. And we want to be there for you when they do! So, between our two training weekends, we meet online to check-in on how you’re tracking. We share ideas, hold space for and support you if anything tricky comes up.
