The Concept

This 100hr course is for yogis who already have a general yoga education and have teaching experience (but also if you simply do not have the time or resources to go for the full program right away). With this course, you receive a Yoga Alliance continuing education credits or it can be a part of our 300hr certification, but it will not qualify for a first registration as a yoga teacher.

If this is your first teacher training course we suggest you go for the longer version, our 200hr Yin Yoga Therapy teacher training course which is designed for people who are at the beginning of their yoga teacher journey as a first foundational yoga teacher education. With that course you will qualify to register with Yoga Alliance as a teacher.

However, even for an experienced teacher, there is a lot of value to go for the longer program and add the extra week, as a profound yin yoga therapy immersion - check it out. There are so many subtle layers to yin, the ancient Taoist philosophy and the way we can benefit from this wisdom of the chi flow and work with the meridians to ultimately transform a yoga class into
a mindful healing space, or how to offer personal sessions to our students when it comes to physical or energetic healing. 

So, if you have the time we recommend taking the deep dive into the yin side and go for the longer immersion. However, both concepts are high-quality Yoga Alliance-affiliated teacher training programs with extracurricular Oriental medicine workshops, which allow you to learn all about yin yoga as a healing method and mindfulness practice. 

Certification

With successful completion of the training, students will receive a Yoga Alliance affiliated Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from The Body-Mind-Soul Centre (RYS 300, registered school with Yoga Alliance).
