About the event
This training is aimed at those who want to deepen their knowledge of fascia and anatomy linked to yin yoga. You will learn fascia and more in depth.
Yin yoga consists of three important parts; yoga, mindfulness meditation and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Here we delve into the physical part of yoga: the anatomy of the body and the yin yoga position.
The main goal of yin yoga is inner and outer balance and health. The less we move, the less we can move. Why we need to soften the body is about more than just range of motion. The body's network, fascia, can lose its elasticity and vitality due to stress, ageing, trauma and sedentary lifestyle, and thus affect overall health.
During the training, our anatomy experts, yoga teacher Erik Janson Bergendahl and licensed naprapath Rebecca Carlowitz, go through how and why yin yoga has the effects it has. Among other things, we look deeper at the mobility of the different joints and how they are constructed. Going through our most common joint diseases Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Osteoarthritis, we look at stiffness in our bodies and how different we actually are. In an educational and thorough way, we understand how everything is connected.
We also try the so-called "functional yin yoga". In this, you mainly look for physical target areas and thus want to get at stiffness and blockages right there, a rehabilitative lesson. You choose to carefully adapt the pose to the shape of the body, the inner relaxation and the individual feeling. Creative variations of the different poses help with this.
Erik Janson Bergendahl, a long-time yoga teacher who specializes in anatomy, has together with licensed naprapath Rebecca Carlowitz created this course that focuses on the magical world of the body and fascia. In module 1, The Foundations of Yin Yoga, we devote a morning to these topics. This is a deepening and extension of these lectures.
