Join Paula Ahlberg, founder of Wellbeing Warehouse and a dedicated Yoga teacher with nearly 30 years of experience, for a transformative 3-day immersion in Yin Yoga.
This course is designed as a valuable add-on for 200-hour certified yoga teachers, offering a perfect counterbalance to the more dynamic Vinyasa style.
After years of practicing dynamic styles such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa, while juggling a busy work schedule and raising children, I encountered a series of injuries that compelled me to seek a slower practice. I found Yin Yoga to be that oasis—providing permission to pause and fostering a deeper connection to meditation and mindfulness. My training with Sarah Powers transformed my approach to yoga, teaching me how to regulate my nervous system and replenish my tired joints and sometimes worn-out body.
Throughout this immersion, we will delve into the origins of this beautiful practice, explore the specific tissues targeted during Yin poses, and learn how to integrate these insights into your current teaching. Participants will discover which poses are connected to specific organ functions and how this regulation relates to our emotional well-being. Enhance your practice, empower your teaching, and cultivate a deeper connection between body and mind.
Books required:
Buddhism (A concise introduction)- Huston Smith and Philip Novak
