Amanda and Mallorie spoke with such grace. Their knowledge is far greater than the simplistic aspects of yoga. It was very apparent both teachers came prepared for this training. Thorough explanations and detailed answers. Very enjoyable atmosphere! Loved the activity you had everyone do to tell the group about their parner. Absolutely incredible how Amanda would pick out two comparisons in a pose between two people and show the class different range of motions/flexibility! Mallorie’s choice of language and words to describe the meridian theory and mindfulness was captivating. Would take any training/course run by these lovely ladies. Wow!
AnonymousI absolutely loved every minute of this immersive weekend. It was like a sweet, cozy getaway to be around like-minded people and share the beautiful space at Prana to learn from each other and the wonderful Prem and Madhu. Soaking up their knowledge is such a gift and you can feel the passion behind everything they say and in the way that they teach. I left this course with an incredible understanding of Yin and believe that anyone who is contemplating teaching Yin could benefit greatly from the newfound understanding you’ll gain in this course. I thought I knew a thing or two about Yin but I see now that I was only scratching the surface. Even if you don’t intend to teach it, you’ll have a new awareness of your mind/body when attending a yin class and that to me has been the ultimate gift!
Heather BI am so thankful for the Yin training offered at Prana Yoga studio. I was drawn to the training not because I loved yin yoga, but to explore why I didn’t. Throughout the training, my understanding of the benefits and opportunities to connect with my body and mind in this way, ignited an appreciation for yin. Thankfully, I am now more comfortable exploring and enjoying yin yoga in my own practice.
Teneil QThis was my first experience of yin style yoga and I absolutely loved it! Yin has a beautiful capacity to drop us into the intensity of our bodies while keeping them in a place of stillness and release. I was very impressed with the presence, intelligence and passion of both Mallorie and Amanda! Thank you very much. I really look forward to continuing on this path of exploration.

You will gain and understanding of yin poses including cueing, modifications and precautions. As well, you will be introduced to mindfulness and meditation.
Thank you so much for showing what Yin Yoga could be. I came into this training thinking Yin was about physical manipulation of the fascia tissues. Yes it is that! But, since this training I have come to realize it is so much more. The depth of exploration of the body and energy is endless. Mallorie and Amanda have opened the first door to this incredible journey. Thank you for being my teachers.
ArleneDeepening your understanding of yin practice I believe is essential to being able to teach these practices with knowledge, integrity, and authenticity. I’m so glad I’ve taken this training with these two beautiful souls!
LisaYin Level 2
In level 2 we will dive deeper into the specifics of meridian theory and how the energetic and physical anatomy of the body relate. You will garner a deeper understanding of yin yoga and its immediate and long term benefits. We’ll explore the molecular components of emotion and how this relates to mindfulness and meditation.
Mantra and pranayama will be explored as to the role they play in a yin practice, and how they can be used to deepen the yin experience. You will learn how yin is related to the yogic philosophy and lifestyle, and how to balance your constitution through yin practice.
Taking level 2 is vital for the practitioner. Level 1 is a wonderful to begin offering a yin class while level 2 is necessary for a practitioner to truly understand the delicacy of this inward practice.
M.I feel much more comfortable being able to lead a class with the knowledge gained from Level 2. There is so much more about yin than what you get from participating in a class and Level 2 really reveals a lot of layers that make me so excited to be able to plant seeds of knowledge.
