The YOGABEYOND® 80hr Advanced Yin & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is a unique 7-day training course for qualified yoga teachers. It’s ground-breaking content, not found on ANY other yin yoga teacher training, is based on core energetic principles that go beyond all conventionally taught and widely available material on yin yoga and restorative yoga.

The course syllabus combines Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga together within the context of Yoga practice as a whole, integrating core elements from Yoga, Chinese Medicine, two schools of Myofascial Release, and Psychology. It offers a comprehensive, easy-to-apply system for teachers to deliver transformative group classes and one-to-one sessions.

This one-of-a-kind training was born out of 13 years (and counting) of clinical Chinese Medicine practice; 15,000+ hrs of yoga teaching; training of Yoga teachers for the past 19 years, and further extensive training in Myofascial Release and Structural Integration. The result is an inspiring and cutting-edge course, presented in a practical and easy to understand package that you would otherwise take many years (and £1000’s!) to learn separately.
