Yin Yoga Teacher Training Online is Online Yoga School’s self-paced training and immersion in Yin Yoga. It teaches more than 40 yin postures together with the philosophy, benefits and sequencing behind them, so that you can practise Yin more deeply yourself and teach it safely and effectively to others.

The school welcomes every level, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and no teaching credential is required. It suits yoga teachers adding Yin to their classes and registered teachers who need continuing education hours, as well as practitioners who simply want a full immersion in their own Yin practice.

The core of the training is the poses: more than 40 yin asanas, with guidance on how to modify each one for different bodies. Around them sit the foundations of the style, including what Yin Yoga is, the relationship between yin and yang, the three principles of Yin Yoga and its history.

You also study the physiological benefits of Yin alongside its emotional and energetic effects, how to sequence a Yin class, how Yin differs from restorative yoga, and the principles of teaching and demonstrating in a Yin setting. The material is delivered through five lectures and five full Yin practices, supported by five class themes and ready-to-teach sequences, five playlists, a bonus guided meditation and a 60-page teaching manual.

The training is led by Steph Ball-Mitchell, founder and lead trainer of Online Yoga School, an E-RYT 500, RPYS, RCYS, YACEP and C-IAYT who is also a licensed professional counsellor. She has more than 25 years of experience in yoga and movement, trained with Maty Ezraty, Nancy Candea and Chris Loebsack, and has extensive training in yin, restorative, power and accessible yoga.

The course is fully self-paced and online, works on any device, and comes with lifetime access to the curriculum and materials. You can contact the lead trainer directly by phone, text, email or Skype, join optional Zoom sessions with the training staff, and connect with other students in the school’s free lifetime online community.

Graduates receive a Yin Yoga teacher certification issued by the school’s local studio, which the school says makes you eligible to teach Yin Yoga anywhere. Online Yoga School is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, so registered teachers can also log the course as 25 non-contact continuing education hours.
