The Art of Letting Go

​

A 50-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course – A functional approach

 

​The Art of Letting Go is a yin immersion training that is open to qualified yoga teachers, Pilates and fitness instructors, therapists and practitioners alike - for those looking to deepen their understanding of yin yoga and immerse themselves in the practice, for teachers wishing to teach yin yoga classes or to incorporate functional anatomy principles and yin into their current classes. For all participants, an immersion has the potential to have a profound effect on our central nervous system. It’s like being on a retreat!

 

WHY THIS COURSE

​

Austin has been directing “The Art of Letting Go” since 2016 and is currently running it twice yearly with Yogarise. Prior to curating the course, Austin undertook 5 different yin teacher trainings, with some of the most influential Yin teachers around, including Bernie Clark and Paul Grilley. He felt that whilst all courses had something to offer, there wasn’t one complete course that addressed all the necessary areas of knowledge teachers require. His course, “The Art of Letting Go”, was created to fill this void. It’s a functional anatomy-based training with an emphasis on teaching methodology. Many teachers leave their 200hr training without a proper understanding of anatomy and don’t understand how to address it. This course solves the problem; it is the logical next step on a yoga teacher's journey!

 

Yin is an essential complimentary practice to our regular vinyasa practice, yin helps us to restore both our tissues and energy by releasing stored up tension. As a teaching skill, it is an essential. It aids students to increase their range of motion and supports those who are rehabilitating injuries. In yin we work more into the connective tissue and joints, stressing them to increase their health, this is tailored to the individual using our knowledge of anatomical variations. Yin is a great second practice to teach in the evenings on a retreat. It's simply a vital tool to have in the box!

CLICK TO LINK TO BERNIE"S BOOK

There is one book that I recommend to you too help you through the course.

The second edition of Bernie Clark’s, “The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga”

​

You don’t have to read it beforehand, in some ways it’s better not to. The concepts are easier to understand once we cover them on the course. By all means feel free to dip into the book but don’t be too concerned if you don’t grasp some of it.
