50 Hour Yin Yoga TTC

Yin Yoga dwells deeper into this introspective practice
50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training
The 50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Om Yoga Nirvana is a gentle yet deeply transformative 7-day immersion into the quieter and more meditative dimensions of yoga. This training invites you to slow down, soften, listen inward, and experience the profound magic of stillness, rest, and awareness.
Yin Yoga offers a different relationship with the body and mind — one that is less about force and performance, and more about surrender, observation, patience, and presence. Through long-held postures, conscious breathing, meditation, and mindful stillness, students begin to explore the subtle body, emotional awareness, energetic balance, and the deeper layers of healing and release.
Blending Yin Yoga with elements of Hatha Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and yogic philosophy, this training creates a balanced and nourishing experience for both personal growth and teaching development. Guided by an experienced and supportive teaching team, students are encouraged to explore softness as strength and rest as an essential part of transformation.
