100 Hours Yin Yoga Teacher Training
The Yin Yoga course in Rishikesh is a beautiful practice that will make space for you to incorporate a holistic wellness routine into your life. In today’s day and age of active minds and inactive bodies, it isn’t easy to find stillness and softness. Most asana practices are intense workouts that target muscle health, often not focusing on the connective tissues and the emotional body. On the Yin side, a posture is held for at least 3-5 minutes, which allows the stress to sink deep into the tendons, ligaments and fascia, leading to an increased range of motion, releasing stiffness from the hips and lower back. As you stay in the posture and breathe through the stress,
…
you create an opportunity to connect with your rich inner world, releasing any grief, trauma or stuck emotions and letting your authentic self emerge into the world after every practice. In our 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course, we focus on the experience of Yin Yoga as much as on the theories and fundamentals of it.
Every class is personalised to take you through the journey of self-realisation, whether through anatomical and philosophical theories, understanding the emotional body, alignment for every unique individual, or teaching methodology that will equip you to sequence and deliver your class. Discover the transformative power of stillness in our 100-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh. With props like blocks and blankets, you can listen to the wisdom of your body to move intuitively.
By understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine and Meridian Theory, you realise the body’s innate nature to heal. You can upskill your practice and teaching by offering a unique perspective through learning various pranayama and meditation techniques. Find your voice by listening to the silence within.
Benefits Of Yin Yoga
- Improving Joint Health and Increased Flexibility The long held Yoga postures stretches tight muscles as well as connective tissues around the joints that gives overall flexibility. It also makes the joints lubricated as well as healthier.
- Improves Circulation The slow movements as well as long holds stimulate blood flow to different parts of the body.
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety Yin yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system as well as improves its “rest and digest” response which helps reduce the stress and anxiety levels
- Balances the Mind and Body Yin yoga develops mindfulness in the practitioners and gives support for meditation which balances mental as well as emotional states.
- Aids in Emotional Release Long hold of the Yin yoga postures release the trapped emotions stored in the body’s fascia and give emotional healing.
- Improving Sleep Quality Yin yoga is calm as well as meditative in nature so it improves sleep quality. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, practitioners often find it easier to fall and stay asleep.
- Increasing Body Awareness, Harmony and Balance This Yoga gives a deeper connection to the body, which not only develops a harmony in the body’s Yin and Yang energies but gives self awareness and mindfulness in daily life also.
History of Yin Yoga
The concept of Yin yoga is based on the principles of Taoist tradition of ancient China. In the Taoist tradition, there is the concept of Yin and Yang in which, Yin symbolises the passive, dark, still, cool as well as receptive aspects of nature like moon, night, femininity and the earth. The Yang conversely represents light, activity, heat as well as dynamism. It is linked to the sun, daytime, masculinity and the heavens.
Traditional yoga mainly works on dynamic movements as well as muscle engagement while Yin yoga follows a complementary approach by targeting the joints and deep connective tissues in the body

- A variety of cuisines to stimulate multiple tastes.
Focusing both on nutritional as well as pranic value, every dish is cooked fresh and organically, and is served with the intention of nourishing not just the body, but also the soul. With a beautiful mix of taste and health, every bite will leave you satiated (perhaps even wanting a little more!).
