The purpose of this training is to offer and guide your understanding of basic principles in anatomy, energetics, breathing, sequencing and language.
These skills will be applied using the Yin Yoga method through lecture, practice, self study, and asana laboratories.
As a result, your engagement with the subtle body will deepen and a new and more refined relationship to your practice and teaching will unfold.
Yin Yoga is a method of practice where the actions of pulling and compression are applied to the connective tissues of the body through passive postures held for 3 – 5 minutes. By careful and intentional application of the methods, the organs and related systems find continuous balance.

“I started practicing yoga with Alana several years ago and my practice and awareness of my body grew in huge ways. Alana inspired me to become a teacher myself because of her passion and dedication to her craft. She has such a unique gift for bringing people together and helping them heal by tapping in to what is going on in their lives and listening deeply. Her vast knowledge of yoga and nutrition helps her bring huge transformations. So grateful she's in my life!”
