Why Yin Yoga?
Establish a solid, well-rounded foundation to your own practice and professional offering as a modern yoga teacher.
Yin yoga has been steadily growing in stature and popularity in recent times. It is a complementary practice that helps us to decompress from our busy lives. It’s valued for the slow pace of movement, the necessary self-inquiry, and meditative nature. All this lends itself to the change of pace most people need in the busyness of modern life.
Your education will be guided by our founder Duncan Peak (Pioneer of Modern Yoga in Australia) and supported by our senior teachers Troy Abraham, Gina Brescianini & Emma Burridge.
