Yoga Room is excited to welcome David Kim back to Hong Kong in 2024 to lead 50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings at the studio.
Level 1: (30 hours)Materials Covered:
The YogaWise Yin Yoga Teacher Training (Level 1) is designed for students and teachers who wish to develop a deeper knowledge of this multifaceted yoga style, and emerge with a working definition and basic teaching methodology for Yin Yoga. There will be a strong emphasis on Anatomy, highlighting skeletal variations, the role of connective tissue, and the nervous system. An introduction to mindfulness meditation will address the non-physical nature of this profoundly quieting practice.
Key Features of the YogaWise Yin Yoga Training (Level 1) include:
What’s Your Style? Defining Yin Yoga as a Theory & Practice
Daoist perspective – Essence of Yin/Yang applied to Asana & Anatomy
Key Yin Postures: Variations on a Shape
Yintegration: Introducing Yin to Varied Student Populations
”Assessment” Postures: Finding an Appropriate Edge for Different Bodies
Specific Highlights:
Defining Target Areas: A Functional Approach to Asana
Understanding Soft-Tissue Tension vs. Structural Compression
What is Fascia? Exploring the Global Nature of the Extra-Cellular Maitrix
Skeletal Variations: ”Asanalysis” of Our Unique Bones
Beginner’s Mindfulness: Focusing Attention on Purpose
Level 2: (20 hours) Materials covered:
This 20-Hour module will introduce the working concept of Myofascial Meridians, and their role in communicating and transmitting stress forces along key longitudinal “tracks” of the body, which directly impact our posture and ease of movement. We will explore these tracks through the Myofascial-Release technique of ball rolling -- a targeted approach to maintain the suppleness of our connective tissue and prevent fascial adhesions. Ball-rolling is a particularly effective form of kinesthetic “body-mapping” and self-massage, reinforcing the gentle stimulus cultivated in Yin Yoga.
Moving further along the Yin spectrum, this module introduces the fundamental principles and techniques of Restorative Yoga, and its profoundly soothing effect on the Nervous System. We will practice the skillful implementation of props to completely support and pacify the body, and offer practical examples of how to integrate Restorative postures within the context of a Yin class, while differentiating the respective intentions of each system. Restoratives are particularly effective for self-practice and private sessions, offering an excellent professional opportunity for teachers to diversify their repertoire.
