Learn to teach yin yoga.
It was and is our position that certification is not necessary if someone wants to teach yin yoga। Many teachers and students have found their way to a yin practice on their own. We believe this is a natural progression in a person's yoga path. We also recognize the need to provide teachers with the anatomical reasons why yin is therapeutic and why it is different from the yang forms of yoga they have been trained in.

Anatomy is the key.
The backbone of the YYTT* is anatomy। Without an understanding of muscles and joints true confidence in teaching is elusive. This anatomical insight is crucial when dealing with injuries, adjustments and variations. Anatomy is a vast subject but the basics, properly understood, throw a flood of light on yoga practice, no matter what the style.

Yoga is more than muscle and bone.
Yoga is more than anatomy and the YYTT speaks to these issues by discussing such things as the theory of exercise, the responsibilities of a teacher, sequencing, and the energy curve of a class। We also discuss the flow of chi through the connective tissue and its relationship to our physical, emotional and mental well being.
