Course Description

Kind Karma® Yin Yoga uses gentle long held postures – "shapes," with a compassionate, open-minded attitude of self-acceptance to awaken and free the yin parts of our physical, emotional, energetic, mental and spiritual selves. Yin Yoga practice is perfect for anyone who wants to bring more freedom, flexibility, mobility or energy to their hips, pelvis, hamstrings, spine and shoulders. Often, these areas of the body become stiff and less mobile because of aging, old injuries or chronic overuse.

This course, Kind Karma® Yin Yoga Training Essentials: "Listening to your Authentic Self", is intended to provide students with the fundamentals for the development of a professional and safe Yin Yoga practice that is forged with direct experience and training.

This course combines yin yoga with meditation, breathing exercises, and the introduction to healing applications of sound therapy. Many of our yin yoga class sequences tailor the practice to target certain emotions by embracing a meridian-based approach.

"Each practice of yin yoga offers you a unique window of opportunity to notice and listen to the messages of your emotions, feelings, body sensations, reactions and inner voice. In such a beautiful and skillful way, yin yoga offers you the time, silence, stillness and space to listen to embrace and, ultimately, cherish your authentic self." – Dean Telano
