Are you interested in becoming a Yin yoga teacher?

Senses’ 60-hour Yin yoga education

We’re excited to announce that on September 14, 2023, Senses will kick off its 60-hour Yin yoga education, and we can’t wait to get started. PLEASE NOTE: it will only be taught in Danish!

As a participant in this training, you’ll delve into the functional approach to Yin yoga, where the emphasis is placed on how a Yin yoga posture is felt and how it affects a specific focal area, rather than its visual appearance. You’ll develop your abilities to be more present, curious, and experimental in your own Yin yoga practice. Moreover, you’ll learn how to design inclusive Yin yoga classes that cater to individual needs, adapting poses to suit the diverse bodies of your students.

Your instructors, Susan Søgaard and Christina Madsen, will provide a safe and informal space where we can explore both the body and mind, studying the principles, techniques, and philosophy of functional Yin yoga. Through a blend of theory and practice, we’ll delve into topics such as soothing the nervous system, the significance of breath, mindfulness, meridian pathways, and Chi (energy), all from a Yin yoga perspective.

Join us on this transformative journey that will offer you a deeper understanding of the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of Yin yoga. You’ll learn how to integrate these teachings not only on your own yoga mat but also in your yoga instruction and daily life.
