20- Hour Level I & II Yin Yoga Trainings
"Thank you Danielle for being such a beautiful teacher. Thank you for helping me be gentler on myself and find a more loving practice." -Michelle, Perth, WA
Danielle's Yin Yoga Teacher's Training is a well-rounded program that highlights key aspects of several popular philosophies. She incorporates real world experiences to make it easy to blend into existing beliefs and practices. Whether you're a Yin loyalist or an instructor looking to add some variety to your teaching practice, this training is a great fit for all levels and backgrounds.
*This training is also open to non-instructors looking to deepen their practice.
We will begin the course by looking at the common misinterpretations of Yin Yoga. We will discuss key Yin Yoga principles and philosophies as well as the physical, energetic, and mind-bodies. We will cover the Yin postures as well as targeted sequencing for specific Meridians in the body. We will also discuss the moving of energy specific to each posture as well as the internal anatomy that goes into the creation of these postures.
Specific to this course, we will cover how to incorporate Yin into your life both on and off the mat. We will also be discussing the key physical and mental health benefits of a Yin practice and how to effectively communicate these to your students. Prepare to immerse yourself in all things "Yin" and to uncover how Yin is so much more than just a yoga practice. You will learn to connect with the part of you that can be still, listen, allow, and accept. Life is meant to be balanced and Yin is the "missing link" for many of us in achieving that.
After completion of this course, you will have a much greater understanding of Yin and how it is a necessary compliment to any lifestyle. This course qualifies for 20 hours of Yoga Alliance Continuing Education contact hours, as well as CPD points through Yoga Australia . All participants will receive a certificate of completion upon completing the training.

Online Yin Yoga Training
Danielle has been traveling all around the the world sharing her passion for Yin energy at different studios with this training curriculum. She is very focused on making this program accessible to everyone and has decided to create a condensed, 10-Hour Online Training.
In this course, we will explore some history and basic knowledge on Yin energy properties, and what is taking place in the Physical, Energy, and Mind Bodies during our practice.
After you have viewed all 4 of these, video-guided sections of the Yin training, you can move onto section 5, Yin Asana. During this section I encourage you to follow along with your 18-page document titled, “Yin Asanas”. I will be guiding you through on video to visually demonstrate variations and modifications with the usage of props.
There will be mindfulness and meditation practice and assignments, quizzes to complete, and a practical teaching assessment where you will create your own Yin sequence based around the Energy Body.
After I have received your quizzes, assignments, and practical exam, you will receive a notification of a pass/fail for the course. Once you receive your "pass", you will be sent a certification and you can apply through Yoga Alliance for your Continuing Education Credits. Then you are ready to teach your first Yin class!

TESTIMONIALS
"At the end of a fabulous yoga retreat Alexis mentioned to me that she and Danielle were going offer a 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga training. I said yes.
Two years into my yoga journey I joined the training. It was life changing for me. The in depth and attention to the many aspects of yoga completely blew me away. It impressed me what a diverse group of caring kind souls signed up for the course and how friendships were formed in this warm environment.
"I was told I was going to end up with the ability to teach a full hour class and I did. Magnificent feeling .. and I’d do it all over again. Don’t miss out... "
~ Charlotte
For as long as I can remember working out has been a part of my life. You could say I finally graduated to yoga :) Yoga is for EVERYONE. We all start from where we are.
Yoga is something that has always challenged me and helped me in many difficult times in my life and so I decided to take my 200 hour teacher training to deepen my knowledge of yoga. I did not take the training to be a teacher, but I can honesty say that once I finished I had the knowledge and confidence to teach. The experience was one of the best of my life. I made true friendships, read books I would have never dared and now understand Sanskrit :)
I highly recommend this experience to all!"
