Yin Yoga has recently taken the yoga world by storm. This is a unique practice where the physical and physiological benefits are enhanced by holding postures for several minutes. the profound teachings of yin philosophy lie in stark contrast to our culture which demands instantaneous results.

The magic is hidden in time. Yin yoga resonates deeply in the dense fibrous tissues, ligaments and joints of the body where it is believed that deeper energies of the body get stuck.

This practice aims to increase our natural range of motion with gentle steady stresses, while encouraging our bodies to unfold from their contacted stress induced states.

This practice and training is ideal for enthusiastic students, yoga teachers, holistic practitioners, athletes, body workers and anyone interested in discovering a unique way of looking at their yoga practice, their bodies and the world around them.

In this 40 hour training we will explore the fundamentals of:

• Fundamentals of Yin and Yang theory
• Yin Yoga philosophy and history
• Yin Yoga postures
• Anatomy and physiology
• Meridian theory - how we can enhance our organ system and overall well being
• Acupressure points to address certain ailments
• 5 element theory
• How to sequence a Yin Yoga class
• Practice and Teaching Yin Yoga

Students are encouraged to journal their thoughts, experiences and studies during the week of this training. Written assignments are given.

Individual Workshop Payment Plan Options are available as well. Please contact the manager of our Danforth Avenue location at 416.461.6161 or Toll Free 1.866.903.9642.

About Cathy Keenan

Cathy KeenanCathy has been practicing and studying yoga for over 10 years. Her introduction to yoga came about by chance when her father (an ordained Buddhist priest) painted The Yoga Sanctuary just before their doors opened in 1999.

After completing her yoga teacher training at The Yoga Sanctuary in 2003, Cathy continued to seek out the teachings of many internationally respected practitioners. It wasn't until studying with Paul Grilley that she took a serious interest in learning more about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In pursuit of a deeper understanding of the mind/body connection and an interest in holistic therapies Cathy has completed over 2400hrs of study in acupuncture and TCM and continues to study with many inspiring practitioners. Cathy has also recently completed Bernie Clark's 50 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Vancouver.

Balancing an acupuncture practice with her teaching curriculum has been an amazing learning experience but nothing has taught Cathy more about the essence of yoga and being mindful than her 2 year old son, Ethan. Cathy enjoys threading her love and knowledge of TCM into her yoga classes to offer students a unique, refreshing and integrated practice.
