YIN YOGA Teacher Training- 15 CEU Yoga Alliance
Learn to teach the gentle side of Yoga.
At the age of thirty the body begins the aging process, where connective tissue tightens from years of strengthening and overuse. Tight connective tissue creates tension and stress on joints, affecting how we move, and potential for injury. Yin yoga addresses tension allowing the connective tissue to become more pliable. Yin is known to be healing to the body and mind.

About this Course
This course was designed to expand the yoga practitioners’ practice to accommodate a larger population. Current statistic reveal rise in over fifty population seeking benefits of yoga. The stability ball provides a base of support for beginner, post injury, pregnancy, or difficulty with a vinyasa flow with changes where vertical to horizontal are not well tolerated. The class structure is a flowing sequence, not diminish by the ball as there are challenges. The manual includes a section for more advanced students/instructors challenge.
THE PRACTICE with the ball flows from seated postures to standing, kneeling, seated on mat and supine. While the ball assist with the asana, it also deepens the sensation of the stretch, and with progressions provides challenge.
Programs Design:
After creating the program Phyllis wrote a manual over the course of several months documenting her work. The manual was filed and now holds Certificate of Registration with the US copyright office for content.

"Reiki" - energy Healing - CERTIFICATION
What is Energy Work and healing touch? Is it spiritual work? or scientific? The nomenclature for healing uses a variety of titles, all with a similar focus and objective. Energy work shares the concept that all matter has an energetic framework often referred to as Aura. The Aura comprises, body, mind, and spirit all of which can experience disturbance in the layers that surround the body. Disturbances in the energy field effect each person in different ways, physical, psychological, spiritual. These disturbances can be debilitating. Energy healing is a form of treatment used in conjunction with other therapies, and if you seek to learn it maybe for your own use and to help family members.
