Yoga Room is excited to welcome David Kim back to Hong Kong in 2024 to lead 50-hr Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings at the studio.

Level 1: (30 hours)Materials Covered:

The YogaWise Yin Yoga Teacher Training (Level 1) is designed for students and teachers who wish to develop a deeper knowledge of this multifaceted yoga style, and emerge with a working definition and basic teaching methodology for Yin Yoga.  There will be a strong emphasis on Anatomy, highlighting skeletal variations, the role of connective tissue, and the nervous system.  An introduction to mindfulness meditation will address the non-physical nature of this profoundly quieting practice.

Key Features of the YogaWise Yin Yoga Training (Level 1) include:

• What’s Your Style? Defining Yin Yoga as a Theory & Practice

• Daoist perspective – Essence of Yin/Yang applied to Asana & Anatomy

• Key Yin Postures: Variations on a Shape

• Yintegration: Introducing Yin to Varied Student Populations

• ”Assessment” Postures: Finding an Appropriate Edge for Different Bodies

Specific Highlights:

• Defining Target Areas: A Functional Approach to Asana

• Understanding Soft-Tissue Tension vs. Structural Compression

• What is Fascia? Exploring the Global Nature of the Extra-Cellular Maitrix

• Skeletal Variations: ”Asanalysis” of Our Unique Bones

• Beginner’s Mindfulness: Focusing Attention on Purpose

Level 2: (20 hours) Materials covered:

This 20-Hour module will introduce the working concept of Myofascial Meridians, and their role in communicating and transmitting stress forces along key longitudinal “tracks” of the body, which directly impact our posture and ease of movement. We will explore these tracks through the Myofascial-Release technique of ball rolling -- a targeted approach to maintain the suppleness of our connective tissue and prevent fascial adhesions. Ball-rolling is a particularly effective form of kinesthetic “body-mapping” and self-massage, reinforcing the gentle stimulus cultivated in Yin Yoga.

Moving further along the Yin spectrum, this module introduces the fundamental principles and techniques of Restorative Yoga, and its profoundly soothing effect on the Nervous System. We will practice the skillful implementation of props to completely support and pacify the body, and offer practical examples of how to integrate Restorative postures within the context of a Yin class, while differentiating the respective intentions of each system. Restoratives are particularly effective for self-practice and private sessions, offering an excellent professional opportunity for teachers to diversify their repertoire.

This training is designed for yoga and meditation teachers, coaches, and parents who wish to deepen their relationship with Yoga Nidra and learn the tools, roadmaps, and principles to become an expert Yoga Nidra facilitator and make a positive impact on others.

We will first deepen your own personal relationship to this fascinating and deep and accessible practice by exploring what Yoga Nidra is, how it works, and how it offers such a transformational effect on students. We will do this through pranayama, mindfulness practices, and discussion yogic philosophy, myths, science, and psychology, and of course by practicing Yoga Nidra.

Then we will explore how to master the principles of the Yoga Nidra to meet the specific needs of your students with this practice. I will share with you over 100 pages of my carefully crafted Yoga Nidra scripts that you can learn from and adapt in order to create your own scripts to be uncommonly effective to meet the specific needs of your students.

You will learn to master the tools of facilitating Yoga Nidra such as:

• Using The Yoga Nidra Roadmap

• Understanding and using the Koshas as a guide and tool

• Learning the art of welcoming, recognizing, and witnessing (sometimes responding)

• Your voice as a tool

• Using relaxation as a tool

• Mastering visualizations

• Leveraging a Sankalpa to ally with Source to co-create what you need and desire

• How to create a learning environment and safe container for the practice

• How Yoga Nidra creates lasting calm, expanded perspective, and improves sleep

We will also practice teaching and building Yoga Nidra classes together so you can become familiar with how to create your own scripts based on the needs of your students.

Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion and be ready to teach Yoga Nidra!
