ABOUT

This 60-Hour MyoYin Teacher Training is designed for teachers and practitioners interested in learning more about fascia, its connection to our Yin Yoga practice and the various ways to intelligently manipulate this connective tissue to improve mobility, stimulate Qi flow and optimise overall health.

 

In this specialised programme, we will discuss the latest science and theory behind fascia, whilst covering the technical aspects of how to practise and teach Yin Yoga and myofascial release techniques – as well as the creative combination of these two modalities, known as MyoYin.

 

In the functional anatomy component of this training, we will study bone morphology, particularly looking at skeletal variation of the spine. Interactive anatomy labs will be set up for students to carry out range-of-motion tests to analyse anatomical variations and individual biomechanics. We will learn how to skilfully apply our observations and insights to pose modifications, to support an individualised, functional yoga practice.

 

Graduates of this Yin Yoga teacher training will leave with the knowledge and skills to sequence and teach a thoughtful and MyoYin class to all levels.

 

The training will be split into three parts:

  • Fascia Studies & Myofascial Release (Current Research, Theory & Practice)
  • Yin Yoga and MyoYin (Techniques & Teaching Methods)
  • Applied Yoga Anatomy (Spine)

 

What is Fascia?

Fascia is the continuous web of connective tissue that wraps around, penetrates and interweaves between every muscle, organ and fibre in the body. Until recent years, fascia was seen as unimportant, however since 2017, the medical world has coined fascia as the largest sensory organ in the body and as a significant part of our biomechanics. The latest fascia research also shows preliminary evidence linking to psychological factors that can improve mental and emotional well-being.

We now understand the importance that fascial ‘training’ plays in optimising physiological function, performance, and overall health, which is why it has become a vital topic for yoga practitioners and teachers to study in more detail.

 

What is MyoYin?

MyoYin is a modality that creatively combines Yin Yoga with myofascial release ball techniques for increased therapeutic effects. Both Yin Yoga and myofascial release are known for their ability to improve range of motion, enhance circulation, hydrate the tissues, reduce pain and inflammation and optimise performance. By integrating these two therapeutic modalities, we can amplify the results to experience a more targeted and deeper release.

 

Accreditation

This is a Yoga Alliance accredited training. Students who complete the full workshop will receive a YA approved 100-hour certificate from Yintelligence School of Yin & Functional Yoga.

 

This module is part of a 300-hour Yin and Functional Yoga certification, which is divided into five specialty modules. Upon graduation of each individual module, students may add the relevant hours towards their Continuing Education (CE) with the Yoga Alliance or accumulate these hours towards Yintelligence’s 300-hour certification.

 

Module 1: 100-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Meridians & Functional Anatomy
Module 2: 60-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Myofascial Release, MyoYin & Spine Anatomy
Module 3: 60-Hour Functional Yoga Teacher Training: Hatha/Vinyasa & Shoulder Anatomy
Module 4: 40-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Meditation & Chakra Theory
Module 5: 40-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training: Philosophy & The Art of Self-Enquiry

 

Module 1 is the foundation for all other modules. It is therefore strongly recommended to take Module 1 first. Modules 3-5 will be launched at PURE Yoga Hong Kong in early 2025. Dates will be announced in Summer 2024. For the full curriculum outline, please visit the Yintelligence website yintelligence.com.
